Review summary

The ship needs to do a better job of getting information out to the passengers and find a way to create more activities for people that don’t want to drink all day or play in the pool or sports. The casino was fun and the staff was very inviting

Embarkation

5 out of 5

They created a lot of excitement and we enjoyed leaving the harbor.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

For us the main dining room was a little stuffy.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Unless you were drinking or a kid wanting to play sports or swim there wasn’t much other than the casino to do on board. And that was only available to play in the evenings.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Didn’t see any.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service staff did an amazing job and took very good care of us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was beautiful and the staff worked very hard to keep keep it clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The size and functionality of the cabin was fine. It was just dated.

Ship tip

You need to do as much research in advance to know what to do when to do it both on the ship and on the excursions.

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5

We weren’t given any suggestions of what we should do at Nassau. All that we found to do was crap shops, restaurants, and bars.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

1 out of 5

For us all that this was was a bunch of beaches that we could go to just about anywhere. Butterflies

Disembarkation

There wasn’t nearly the excitement leaving this port, and it was dark enough that you really couldn’t see much when we pulled out.

Did you use the app? There are activities all day? Are you a frequent cruiser? What do you do at home for fun? I’ve sailed Freedom many times and I’ve never seen a negative review of activities 😏🤔

Games, trivia, shows, lots to do if you use the app. First person I’ve ever seen give cococay a bad review. Beach, pools, food and drink included. Not sure what you expected. Research before you go is on you.

Thank you for your review. I’m not a drinker and I find fun activities but I do agree in theory. Not everyone cruises to get drunk! Nassau has a lot to offer. Next time try Shore Excursion Group or Viator for things to do.
