Review summary

Thank you Royal Caribbean for having a great ship, like the Freedom of the Seas, starting from San Juan, Puerto Rico and visiting other great ports in the Caribbean. Our family and friends had an extraordinary experience celebrating our children’s high school graduation. Some of them for the first time, we are all planning for our next journey with one of the wonderful ships of Royal Caribbean. Thank you very much for making our experience one unforgettable!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent experience, we arrived early (11:00 am) the process was very fast and had the opportunity to be one of the first guests to go into the ship. Had a lot of time to lunch at the Windjammer and explore the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Amazing experience in all main dining rooms, speciality restaurants, and buffets. As mentioned before, our wonderful experience started at the Windjammer, excellent variety of food, excellent service, the waiters were always very kindly and friendly. Leonardo’s restaurant for dinner was at a another level, great experience. Our waiters Lucia and Anthony were very special, wow!!!! Our family used all other restaurants like Cafe Promedade, Sorento, which also were an unforgettable experience.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed all activities, the ones that we did a lot was to climb the rock-climbing (I did it with my younger daughter and we both ran the bell!!!), pools, jacuzzi, Fitness Center (I didn’t lose or got any additional pound, besides all that I ate!!!).

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We liked all of the onboard shows, including the ice show, the Royal Promenade shows, Quest, among others.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Yes, my daughter participated with her friends and they loved the activities that they attended. Their team won of the games that they participated around the ship, great experience. We recommend that if you travel with children, that they participate in these kid’s clubs, because not only they will enjoy they will also interact with other children there age.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Extraordinary is the service received from ALL waiters, room stewards, and other ship personnel. Special thank you to Lucia and Anthony in Leonardo’s Restaurant, Imade Merta our room steward, and the many, many others, the list is very long.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Súper clean!!! Every area, you can smell cleanness everywhere, restrooms, rooms, restaurants, common areas, Fitness Center, pools, etc.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Excellent, excellent!!! Very comfortable, excellent views (deck 12 forward). Our cabin was connected with the cabin 1836 (our two daughters). We had a lot of space and a very big balcony. Excellent steward service, very clean, we recommend booking up this type of cabin with enough time because they are very few on each side of the ship. Very accessible to all: the elevators, Fitness Center, SPA, running track, sports activities, etc.

Ship tip

Wake up early so you and your love ones can enjoy what this wonderful ship can offer. It’s your vacation, so enjoy and enjoy, you will have later some time to rest.
