Review summary

The Freedom class ships I feel are the best size, with so many things to do and see on board, it never feels crowded, of course during Muster drill and getting on and off the boat you always do! Staff is super nice and helpful, Freedom class ships are my favorite!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

The check in staff isn't RCCL employees, not the most friendliest around. If this was my first cruise, It would have left a very bad impression.
