Review summary

Extremely disappointed...not at all what I expected from Royal and seriously considering NEVER choosing this cruise line again

Embarkation

3 out of 5
As expected however no wheelchair was waiting upon arrival

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Unfortunately we did not choose specialty restaraunts on this particular cruise, and regretted it, however we went to the main dining room once and that was enough for the remainder of the cruise...we ate at (Windjammer) the buffet or grabbed pizza not what we're use to from Royal

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We did not participate in any activities so it would be unfair for me to rate them...N/A was not an option so I rated them ok

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The entertainment was just ok...not what I'm accustomed to from Royal cruises a little disappointed

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Guest services was the best EXPERIENCE ever...never a line, addressed concerns immediately and displayed genuine concern. ...

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Unsanitary, (bathroom) knobs, where you flush the toilet etc., the sheets were not changed on the bed and I had to sleep in my clothes one night...the refrigerator wasn't cold and our cheese spoiled...

Ship tip

Very disappointed...I have been on other cruises with Royal and had this been my first I would NEVER sail with Royal AGAIN...luckily I have been on other Royal ships....so my advice is not to choose Freedom of the Seas

How can your review be trusted if you gave 3 stars to something you didn't participate in?

Why does your review of RCCL mention that you slept in your clothes?

The refrigerators are for cooling only. They aren’t meant to be the temp of our ones at home.

I love these negative comments that slam something without providing any details to support comments.
