I'm recently back from 3 Nights on Freedom of the Seas. Unfortunately it was awful! Putting it in context - we have cruised twice previously (making this our 3rd RC cruise). Once on Harmony of the Seas and once on Brilliance of the Seas
One positive was that we upgraded to Cocoa Beach Club and it was 100% worth it! We had such a wonderful time! The food was impeccable and the infinity pool resort area was top notch!
On the ship - the main dining room had Italian Night on Formal Night. They played caribbean music over the loud speaker and it turned into a party which didn't fit Italian night at all. The lasagna was something that looked microwaved with grey meat! It was inedible. We waited over 2 hours at Johnny Rockets. They brought out our hamburger and sides in "courses". After 40 minutes of waiting they brought us our drinks. 20 more minutes - they brought our onion rings and then finally 1 hr and 40 minutes later our burgers! It was a ridiculous waste of time! The flowrider was fun. The Solarium pools were ice cold! Not heated at all. So I didn't swim. Solarium bar was a zoo and took about 20 minutes to get drinks. Our stateroom sink overflowed. Mold in the shower. People doing drugs in the elevator - Yes you heard me. They had a boom box going up and down and partying smoking you know what! People vaping the same all over the ship. No smoking was ignored. The rooms are tired and in desparate need of refurbishing! Please save your money and book a different cruise!
