If you are on a Gluten free diet the Freedom is very accommodating for meals. The Gluten free pizza is excellent. In windjammer we would as what food were GF and they were very helpful. The dining room staff for dinner was outstanding.

Get familiar with the ship from day 1 so you can find your way with ease. Be sure to pack a small bag when you first arrive of clothes you might want to change into before your luggage arrives. You may even want to pack a bathing suit. Grab some snacks from the Windjammer for evening.

You will not go hungry on this boat! They have food all day long available in various outlet, and if you want special little treats you could go to Starbucks, the Cupcake shop and others. Loved the shopping that is available on ship, too - we always had something to do!

My favorite part was the Willy Wonka pie (make sure to get a piece). My wife make something very similar to it called gooey butter. All in all a great trip

I always love the Freedom, we have been on it about 4 times.

Food at windjammer was as good or better than dinning room. Mexican and Italian premium dining well worth the extra $20 a person and look for servers walking around ship offering 20% off those places they are easy to get at the $20 pp rate.

Martinis in RBar were the best ever. My time dining was way to go. Had no issues with anything other than when I had to leave!!!

The pizza on the promenade was not very good but it was great to have a starbucks! It was very cool to have a mall on the boat and an Ice Skating rink, rock wall, wave runner, volleyball court, Johnny Rockets...lot's of amenities! Overall, we had an excellent experience on Freedom!

Get a suite. Getting onboard is a piece of cake with a dedicated suite line/same for leaving the ship. It all adds up to a real vacation, not feeling like cattle in a herd.

For a very first time cruiser I was excited to purchase The Key. Most people on the cruise received royal perks from being a constant cruiser; however for someone like me I was able to get the perks for everything

(1)Do the mystery meal, (2)in St Marteen do Robinson speedboat deal. (3) for older generation (tels que je le suis moi même,) obtain a cabin near elevator.

Go to all of the shows but get there early because they fill up fast.

Our one tip if you are arranging excursions on your own is to check local versus ship time. Our only major problem came when we discovered we booked an excursion and almost missed it because of the discrepancy. Not sure why, but ship maintains SHIP time even during time changes.

Great size, not too big. Clean & comfortable.

Plan your excursions ahead. Consider walking and crowds when planning. Some excursions are very crowded with tourists.

We thoroughly enjoyed dining in the Windjammer restaurant! Great selection and the service was outstanding! I would also recommend Chops Steakhouse and Sabor for Specialty Dining. Don't miss the entertainment on this beautiful ship! The ice show is not to be missed!

The Viking Lounge on Deck 14 has floor to ceiling views and comfortable chairs.

One tip about our trip would be to advise future guests to be ready for a fun filled, busy port of call schedule. If you visit all of the ports (there were 5 for us), you won't have much ship time, and this makes for very busy days since many of the ports require 1-2 hours of travel to the cities to see what you came to see, such as Florence (1.5 hours - 2 hours each way by train), or Roma (Rome), more than 1 hour each way by train. You must plan to leave the ship early and arrive back late in order to see these 2 stops, and you still won't have enough time, other than to get a taste of each city as it requires a 2-3 days in Rome and probably 1-2 days in Florence to see it all.
