Freedom of the Seas - Reviews

It was so good I can’t even think of a thing to change! Keep it up! We’ll be back!

For our first cruise and our honeymoon, Royal Caribbean delivered. This was a cruise that was not only worth doing but worth doing again. There's too much too see in one trip. You have to go back more than once.

Overall this is a budget cruise. The food was ok, the service was ok. The ship layout not great and overall this ship needs updates and it can make you sea sick. If you want relaxing time with adults don’t go on this cruise to many kids. All the alcohol is overpriced. 1 glass of wine 15 dollars, 1 beer -12 dollars. Casino don’t play by one cent you don’t win much. We spend at least $500 extra for each person to do some excursions and having 5 drinks.

Great itinerary and loved all the islands!! I’m more of a beach person so this was the perfect cruise as there was only one day at sea!! Wish there was more Options for food available all day. Crew was nice and helpful! Definitely catered to the Spanish crowd a lot since we left out of Puerto Rico . It was definitely lively. I do wish the ship line Enforced the dress code in the main dining room For dinner. We saw People that looks so causal it looked like they did not change from their island excursion.

Great cruise itinerary and ship, highly recommend the Southern Caribbean if you haven't been!

The cruise was nice. Personally was a little to long for me. I was underwhelmed with ports as there were really nothing to see but the beautiful sea. I felt the only thing to do was water activities at each ports.

Overall it was a great cruise. For us 5 ports was a little much. If you like a lot of ports then this would be a great cruise or if you want to stay on the ship it would work well too. We love the Southern Caribbean cruise and this is the third one for us as Royal Caribbean has 3 iteniararies down in the Southern Caribbean.

The cruise itself was great and worth it. promised a few things that didn't happen.

We had a great experience. This trip had a lot of ports so we spent most of the time off the boat. But when we were on the boat, we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was great, the service was excellent, and any issues were handled quickly and effectively. Would travel Royal again and again.

Number of ports was amazing. For this reason only it was a good value for the money. If you prefer to spend more time cruising "at sea," this is not the cruise for you, as you only sail at night. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this cruise, overall, was just average.

Lots of fun, but not without some drawbacks that will make us seriously consider our next vacation and if/when we cruise

That was a good cruise, excellent personal and friendly people. Good food too. I enjoy very good this cruises.

Smooth sailing throughout. We will not return to the Aruba or Curacao ports. Took and excursion at Bonaire and would recommend. Every port has significant amount of jewelry stores. So if jewelry is your intent then you will be in heaven. A lot of great on-board activities! Some of the good adult activities were later at night so don't plan to sleep early. Unfortunately, this may cramp your early morning excursion times.

Our cruise was the PERFECT 40th wedding anniversary gift. The ship was exceptional and immaculate. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. We are HIGHLY recommending this to everyone we speak with. Can't wait to go back.

Was the best cruise I ever did. It was a blend of the right size ship and excellent service.

great ports of call. super old ship. musty smelling. room gave me a constant migraine with the smell. main dining room staff incredible but food needs some spicing up and flavour. desserts good. ship needs a major overhaul

We had not been to 4 of the 5 ports and enjoyed each stop. Each island had unique features and plenty of variety for shore excursions on land and sea. Even underground. The ship was in good shape for it's age and will be refurbished early next year which should bring it back to it's original lustre.

Itinerary was the main reason for taking this cruise. 5 ports in a row! cruise, staff, ports were awesome!

Overall very happy and satisfied. Main Dining Room staff always seems to be outstanding. Improvements need to be made to access front desk staff when needed (always long lines) Entertainment shows were very average this cruise and show times should not overlap other show times, and last again, this was the worst disembarkation experience I have experienced and all of my cruise experiences.

Itinerary was great. Shows were awful. Boat lacked things to do. Too much to pay for. Might as well upgrade to celebrity. As a gold member got very little. Thinking of changing to another cruise line the push for speciality dinners was incrediably constant in your face noteably on the first day. I brought someone who had never cruised. It was embarrassing. At least 15 people tried to sell us!
