Freedom of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed our week on the Freedom of the Seas.  The weather was wonderful, the ship was clean and beautiful with so many things to do. The food and service were excellent. We did the  Stingray City excursion in Grand Cayman and the Dolphin Push Pull excursion in Cozumel.  They were both very memorable.  

Great cruise for my 18 year old graduate and his friends. He and my 15 year old daughter list this as their favorite vacation ever. The teen dance clubs and activities where great. My wife and I where happy with the constant supervision of these areas by staff so we didn't have to worry. We also enjoyed the view from the Windjammer restaurant. The room attendant and wait staff were excellent.

Great trivia - and great cruise director's staff

The music piped throughout the ship is entirely too loud - impossible to find a place to quietly read a book

Everything and everyone made the Cruise Special.  I enjoyed the shows, stateroom with balcony, the food was very good, and the way things were organized so they could be done easily.

Overall the cruise was okay. The time was not okay.. Too many kids[1000] was there so we were unable to use the pool and jacussie until the families got ofrf the ship to visit the islands.We had a great waiter at our table that helped us to celebrate our annaversay.We are used to smaller ships in the 3000 people range.I guess we have to be more carefull in picking our next cruise and with what line.We have been on Princess some 18 trips and was very happy until we got on their large ship in Dec. So again I guess we have to be more careful when we pick our next cruise.

Great food! Great ship with lots to offer. Really enjoyed our balcony stateroom and our ability to relax overlooking the water.  Entertainment was good, but for such a big ship, I think they should offer more bands and music, especially earlier in the night.  Overall a wonderful trip.

I took my husband on this cruise as his birthday gift.  As always, we had a fantastic time on Royal Caribbean.  We have two other cruises booked for 2016!  Thanks Cruise 411!

The ship was amazing! The service was great, the rooms were clean, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed each of the islands with the exception of St.Thomas because there was not much to do there. Royal Caribbean is one of my favorite cruise lines because although it might not be the cheapest, you're granteed to have a great time!

First cruise on Royal Caribbean.  Beautiful ship, very clean!  We loved the captain. He seems very down to earth and was easy to understand.  We enjoyed the tour of the bridge and the galley (on ship TV).  Getting on and off the ship was the smoothest we have experienced with any cruise line so far.  The food was good and plentiful.  We did the MY TIME dining and it worked out great for us.  We reserved on-line before sailing and chose 5:30 each night.  The staff was terrific, no complaints!  We will choose Royal Caribbean again

There should have been someone greeting passengers as they boarded with welcome aboard.  Dining room staff was okay. Buffet should have been open longer.

First time on a RC cruise. The Freedom is a great ship so much to do and see.  differently a WOW factor. KC the cruse director did a outstanding job bring the ship together. Our cabin 8228 was well  taken care of by John.He always had fresh Ice waiting for us and amusing towel art.  The food was good, no complaints, there is so much to choose from. Our excursions were fun and relaxing. but do read the reviews. We choose the Pirate ship with snorkeling, You do jump with snorkeling gear from Pirate ship.We also did Orient beach excursion, great tour on AIR conditioned bus... Both had lunch for us....We diffidently will be looking for a deal next year 

Royal Caribbean has gone way down in my points as far as quality,especially the food. Repitious food everyday which got to be very boring after four days. Food once was great !! No more midnight buffets either. So many things have changed in the past 10 years or since our last cruise with RC. On the positive, the staff were just as cordial, friendly and helpful as always. Other passengers were extremly rude, especially the teens, 20's and ever the 30's. No excuse for rudeness, especially with the older generations and those who were disabled. Wanted to swim in pools but kids overtook pools and hot tubs. Need a pool for older people and disabled as well the the pools you have for others.  

We enjoy the size and great way the space is utilized.  It seemed like all the staff has been reduced in size however not even one said anything about the amount of work expected of them.  Every one was kind, courteous, and friendly.  You have a loyal staff.

We have another cruise coming in January for Freedom of the Seas before it is relocated.   The Oasis will be considered by us after January.  

WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME, WE CAN'T WAIT TO  GO BACK!  OUR ROOM WAS KEPT NEAT AND TIDY EVERY NIGHT.  AND THE KIDS LOVED THE TOWEL ANIMALS.  AND THE SERVICE AT DINNER AND AT THE BUFFETS WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. 

THE PORTS WERE WONDERFUL:  WE SNORKELED IN COCOCAY, SAW FISH AND A STINGRAY AND OF COURSE THE  "COOK OUT" WAS GREAT.  THEN ST. THOMAS -CORAL WORLD AND SNORKELING AT COKI BEACH WAS FUN.  AND ST. MAARTEN'S BEACH RESORT AND BEACH BY THE AIRPORT WERE MAGNIFICENT!

WE RELAXED OUT TO SEA FOR 2 DAYS; ENJOYING PUTT-PUTT, OUTSIDE MOVIES BY THE POOL IN THE EVENING, HOT TUBS, 3D MOVIES, DREAMWORK PARADE, ETC.

SO MUCH TO DO!  CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK AND DO MORE!

Shows were outstanding. Beds were hard. Steward was bossy. Food was mediocre. This ship is probably better for children and young people tan for older couples like us.

Great service, great entertainment, engaging cruise director, many nice people to talk to.

Even got to have dinner with the captain and chief engineer!

Had a great time on the 5/24/15 sailing. We had quite a few medical emergencies during the cruise with one causing us to turn back to Canaveral at the start of the trip thereby losing half of the day at Labadee. Would have liked to have had more time there. Really enjoyed going to Grand Cayman as it had such a much nicer, cleaner feel to it than the other ports. Wish they hadn't renovated and taken the larger night club away as all of the young 20 year olds were packed into the former Viking Crown room with the older crowds. The mixologists in the R bar were awesome. I enjoyed the ship and the few shows that we went to were pretty good. Would love to sail this ship again.

Great service, lots of activities to chose from, comfortable rooms with great storage space for a cruise room, impressed with presence of executive staff throughout the cruise, smooth check-in and debarkation, great family experience, highly recommend specialty dining (Chops Grille was great night out for mom and dad while older teens had fun chowing at Johnny Rockets), some gluten free options on buffet (needs improvement) and plenty of gluten free accommodations made in the main dining and specialty restaurants, quality entertainment/shows, has something for everyone

Had a Good Time.  Very nice ship and room. BIG. Food was OK. Had better on other cruises. Great cabin stewart.  Staff to clean tables and serve drinks seemed low. Seemed to have cut back from other cruises. Drinks cost too much for amount of alcohol they put in.  

Excellent cruise and amazing ship!!!!!  Entertainment, choice of anything at all you wanted to do, eat or drink!!!!  I would definitely take and cruise or sail on Freedom of the Seas again.  The crew go above and beyond to make your entire experience special.  It's amazing how they get to know you in just seven days.
