Freedom of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I enjoyed this itinerary but would prefer a newer/bigger ship like the Allure. Overall, we loved the staff, food and drink. It was easy to get around the ship as it seems smaller than the Allure, although when compared they are similar.

Seasoned cruiser who loves cruising. I have been on all the major cruise lines and most of the smaller ones, and have done the tropical and Alaskan cruises.

Overall great cruise experience. The ports were nice and the time spent in each port was just enough. The shows on board were really good and plenty of food to eat!

This cruise was with a friend, we felt this itinerary was one of the best offered by Royal Caribbean for a Caribbean cruise and we were not disappointed. The ship is a little older and a bit smaller than the mega ships of Royal Caribbean, but there are SO MANY activities on board you will never get bored and the ship is run perfectly. They've done great at preventing bottlenecks at food buffets, when exiting/entering the ship at port...this is one of my most favorite boats to sail on. The staff is also exceptional on Freedom of the Seas.

Last time we cruised with our kids on a smaller ship, this time was just about relaxing, we loved that we could just do our own thing even with 4000 plus people and all the activities provided, it was easy to just do our own thing, plan our meals, relax and hang out. You don't expect that on a big ship.

the best of this trip was the route. wonderful island and ones of the most beautiful in the Caribbean

Always check and see what "groups" have booked the same cruise. You may not see, eye to eye, w/ your beliefs or values.

Enjoyed it very much, would do it again. Freedom of the Sea's did a wonderful job in all areas. They were quick to have someone with Purell hand cleansing liquid on hand in the eating areas as well as when we disembarked and returned to the ship.

Very comforting and beautiful cruise - relaxing - well worth it

We enjoyed the ports we visited and the excellent service from the staff in the main dining room. Did not appreciate people trying to sell us something everywhere on the ship and definitely did not appreciate the rude Spanish-speaking passengers who had no regard for others. This cruise was expensive due to it being over New Year's and it was definitely not worth the money. On our other cruise, we enjoyed the steel drum band at the pool playing Caribbean music. On this cruise, we did not have that. It seemed it was not about the Caribbean experience, rather it was about the Latin experience instead. Not what we thought we signed up for.

Because the ship sailed out of Puerto Rico, 90% of the people on the ship were Puerto Rican/spanish speaking and the whole cruise/activities seemed to center around that. We felt like outsiders most of the time. We went to a line dancing class which ended up being latin dancing, for example. We won't choose that as a destination to leave from again.

It was a great experience. It was the quickest and smoothest embarkation and disembarkation we experience from our 3 cruise vacations, 2 others are from different cruise companies. Interior design of this ship is also impressive specially the 5th level where all the restaurants, shops, bars, etc. are located.

this was a welcome improvement over last year, only minor issues, but will travel Royal again. for what it is worth, I wish that they would decrease the emphasis on specialty dining, and reemphasize the main dining venues

By far the best cruise we have taken yet. We have been on 16 cruises and this was the best itinerary yet. Weather was perfect and this is in my opinion Royal Caribbean's best ship. Oasis class is too big and we were disappointed with the food and service. Very surprised. We are calling soon to book for this year for the ABC cruise out of San Juan.

Overall I enjoyed the cruise and we are planning to return in August with a big group.

Really good experience. Great staff on board the ship. The itinerary can't be any better. Beautiful island after island and there is always something to view while you are at sea. Islands everywhere. Food was great, weather was great. Looking forward to my next cruise.

Overall a great trip. Great ship for Families with children. lots of activities and accommodations. All ports were good, St. Lucia was amazing!

The cruise was good, the clientele not so much. Very loud, rude and obnoxious folks. Will think twice about leaving from San Juan again. We love San Juan and would like to go back for a long weekend.

Great staff. Work hard to please and very attentive. Great entertainment with respect to nightly shows. Evening events like karaoke and other such things were rather poor. Other entertainers in bars were great as welll. Dining room food was okay, but most food on the buffet was as good or better. Staff everywhere worked hard.

Royal Caribbean is the best cruise line we've been on. The staff, the ship, the activities, the amenities, and the food are phenomenal. The pool and swim areas tend to be highly crowded, and people are always saving more seats and chairs than they need. The ports of call and excursions are really good. Some excursions can be cancelled with low participation rates.
