The pools were great as well as the flowrider. People and staff were very friendly. There was not a farewell party in the lido deck during the first night!!!
Entertainment
2 out of 5
The shows were very disappointing, I cannot say there was an awesome show thru out the cruise and we went to all of them. The only show that was pretty ok was the second night which the two performers (couple) were very good. The music at Boleros was awesome, as well as the piano man. Regarding the DJ at the 14th floor, it was not as expected. The Cruise Director did not made a click with any of our group, she was extremely British for our taste in terms of her style; she was ok but not as fun as other CD in other ships.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
The service in the main dinning room was not as good as prior ships and the waiters did not created a chemistry with us. The room steward was great as well as other ship personnel, except the Loyalty Program staff who were not very polite.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We loved the layout of the ship. My only remark is that the Solarium was not as peaceful as other cruises.
Cabin / Stateroom

The bathroom and the shower needs to be completely refurbished.
Ship tip
You’ll have a lot of fun, huge ship with an easy distribution of amenities. Very friendly staff and clean ship. Don’t expect too much from the shows.
The best port of the entire cruise, there is so much to see, Old San Juan is beautiful, it’s like being in Spain with friendlier people. San Juan is to spend at least two days. We felt very safe walking in the streets of Old San Juan. The night life at the Condado area is amazing with a lot of fine restaurants; we loved the local food, don’t miss the “mofongo” with “churrasco” with rice and beans.
Freedom of the seas is going into dry dock in either January or February, I believe. We loved the ice show. Our mdr wait staff bent over backwards for us. We were on freedom in April and had a very enthusiastic cruise director. We too felt the ship had a good layout. We're going back on Oasis of the seas as that has been our favorite ship, so far.
