Disaponting by keekee1170

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

I am very disjointed with this overall trip. I do not feel like the staff as a whole was very friendly/helpful. I do think that since I started cruising with royal Caribbean that the prices are going up and the service has gone way down. I'm not sure if we will be back or be looking at another cruise line. We go every other year so I will be doing some research.

Freedom of the Seas, A Full Vacation Experience of Excitement and Pleasure by Cruisemate60

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

If you are considering A Royal Caribbean cruise choose one 6 nights or longer. There is so much activity aboard and at port that it does take a little time to settle down and relax. By the time you do you are heading back home. We have taken 3 with them and the experience has always proven them as one of the best Cruise lines

A bit of a Rocky start, but smooth sailings thereafter. by rickysantiago5

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

The service staff was quite spectacular, the food and drinks were great! We really enjoyed all of the activities to do on the ship. We wish there was better communication about the events prior to boarding the ship, I called to inquire but very little information was provided. With a large family, it would have been nice to make an itinerary for everyone. For example, I wish I would have known about the different theme nights ahead of time.

Just OKay, This Year on Freedom by lovethesea

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Just Okay this time, food could have been better. Free needs to stay free. Best and most fun I have ever had on a ship (not royalcarribean) is a silent disco and by the way it was FREE.

So, so! Lot's of little (and big) let downs by sfret2

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Royal Caribbean has been moved to the bottom of my list. NO ROOM should be noisy every night. RC has done a pretty good job in the past on the Oasis for me (x2 trips). There is no way to correct that room other than turn it into a storage. That was unforgivable.

We enjoyed ourselves. The itinerary was great. The ship was nice, but aged and in need of refurbishing. The staff were polite but not really efficient. Overall it was great !

a disaster by JuliaChris2013

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Complete disaster of a vacation. No time to relax or decompress. No time to enjoy one another due to illness that could have been avoided if one person had taken a few minutes to make sure the bags he was unloading from the bus were at the correct port, instead he was too worried about how many (blank) tips he was going to receive from the passengers. We are now suffering from my husband missing work, being extremely ill, and having to go back to his doctor for treatment. We will also have to our eye doctor for an appointment to replace his Rx reading glasses that are lost. I will never recommend RC to anyone and plan to write as many reviews, scathing, about my experience as possible. I hope that RC will reach out to me and resolve this matter, I am at the point that I want to forget I booked this cruise.

Changed to Western Caribbean due to Hurricane by caustin1223

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We had an amazing time! It was fun and relaxing! We had an opportunity to spend time together as a family and experience things that we wouldn't ordinarily do on vacation. We tried new things and new foods. It was expensive, but it was fun, and we have a lot of great memories!!!

Royal Carribean would not work with us and change our embarkation date. We did not want to go to these ports, because we had been there 3 times already. Only went because could not get a change or refund. I will not use Royal Carribean again! by Klodhopper

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

I was disappointed that we did not get to go to St. Kitts, San Juan, or St. Martin. We had been 3 times to all the ports but Haiti. I was very dissapointed that Royal Carribean would not work with us and change our departure date to later so we could visit the original ports-of-call. The personnel we talked to were very obnoxious and not very helpful. Due to this, I have no intentions of cruising with your cruise line again. Will & Diane Patterson

A perfect experience by scott50660161

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

A perfect experience all around. The ship is perfectly sized and I never felt like it was too big or too small. The staff was always friendly and smiling.

A good way for getting from Europe to the US with young children. Overall a very good experience. by mdukes15616250

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Transatlantic

An excellent 2-week vacation. With young children the ports of call are not of great interest and excursions are difficult. So, from our point of view the ports of call were not of any real interest.

Best family vacation yet by JJJLara

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

We all loved it! Great family vacation! There was something for everyone. It was comfortable to be there with kids, elegant but not too stuffy. We will definitely be cruising with Royal again.

Incredible 7 Night Mediterranean Cruise In The Calm Waters Off The Coast Of Europe by Partcentpc

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Overall, our cruise was fantastic. We would do it again. This was our 12 cruise total, but our 1st cruise on Royal Caribbean. We may cruise with Royal again, or we may go back to Carnival. It is undecided at this time. This is probably not the best cruise to spend money on the drink packages, because, if you visit each port, by the time you get back to the ship and have dinner, it's time to get some sleep (even for us young people), as you have to be up early in the morning in order to travel great distances to see the next port. This is unlike the Caribbean where you just step off the ship, grab some beers and tacos and stroll about your day. We felt like seeing these cities was equivalent to going to work every day! You won't need to buy the internet package on the ship if you have cell service, since you can get service from shore even while the ship is at see on all days except for the last at sea day where the ship cuts across the Mediterranean Sea from Naples to Barcelona. Save your money, and only buy it on the last day.

Very good sampling of the Western Mediterranean. by roncowboysfan

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

Very good sampling of the Western Mediterranean. However, it would be nice to reduce the number of ports so that you could spend more time at the most popular ports.

President's cruise is the best cruise by bethandfredhome

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

Next year's President's cruise will be very different in the Caribbean. This was amazing in every way. If you don't care about the ports, the President's cruise is absolutely the best cruise for special extras compared to any other cruise.

Great Cruise, Great Ports by pp77gg

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

This was my 5th cruise on Royal Caribbean. The Freedom of the Seas ship was a big improvement over my other ships. I chose this cruise for the destinations and was not disappointed. The WaveRunner was amazing to watch. Very nice to have a basketball/soccer court plus the min-golf.

Excellent! by BethanneN

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

One of the best vacations we have been on. The ports are intersting and offered many beautiful choices. It is hard to just pick one thing to do, knowing you will miss other things. there are far more excursions available ship board than the ones offered on line. I recommend grabbing a few before you go and booking the rest as soon as you get on board Sunday.
