Freedom of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Tips

The pizza on the Promenade was pretty good as we're some of the sandwiches from the coffee shop. The food in the Windjammer was nearly as good as what was in the dining room and if you prefer to dress more casually then that is the place to be....not as stuffy. There was always a good selection.

Pizza was free at the Pizza place on the promenade. The drinks aren't free, but if you have one of the drink packages it pays off. Tips are included in the purchase of the package. They had a cupcake shop and I bought one of the cupcakes for a little over 2 dollars. It was delicious!

This is a very large ship, the crowd was noticeable on a couple instances. If participating in shows or other group events, get there early.

Room Service and hit the pool deck early before it gets full

We enjoy the promenade deck to meet up after dinner.

If you let your waiter know it is a special occasion , they will remember. They will remember if you order a certain type of roll or a special appetizer more than once, then they will inquire if you want that the next time or they will all ready have that particular roll for you.

As a Caribbean I do believe it was a good opportunity to see other countries and meet other people to see how they live and how different they do things. The shores Excursions were good even though I was not able to do more.

I would suggest the Dining Room for lunch. The salad bar is exceptional.

Some people don't know, the food, not the drinks are free in Cafe Promenade

The food in the Starbucks coffee shop is free (although the Starbucks is not) - not many people realized this and there was never a line.

It is big, but it is so easy to get around. Well laid out.

Wear good gripping shoes around the pool area. At times slippery when wet.

The Windjammer is great for all meals especially if you are in a hurry. The ship doesn't spend a lot of time in St. Thomas so plan activities/shopping accordingly.

Read the daily compass so you can plan your activities for the following day.

Ask to be seated with Dias and Wilfred in the Dining Room.

Wear good shoes...it is a BIG ship

SEE ALL THE SHOWS THERE GREAT. tHE DINING RROM FOOD WAS GREAT

Ask your waiter for something you'd like, even if it's not on the menu. Probably you will get it!

Bring a pool bag to carry towels to the different ports and always have a watch on hand with the "ship's time" as when you go to places like Mexico and Jamaica, there is a time difference and you don't want to miss the departure time of the ship!!!

Read the daily Compass delivered to your stateroom every day. There are so many activities, tidbits of information, etc. Otherwise, you will real lose out.
