Just back from a trip including the 3/27-31 4 Night on Freedom. I believe it was a sold out cruise. This was our first cruise with Royal and first cruise post pandemic. Only previous experience has been with Disney cruise line so we found ourselves trying to compare the two.
If you have any specific questions I can try to answer them. In the meantime, a few observations...
Embarkation process was very efficient. From the time we were dropped off to the time we were on the ship was probably less than 15 minutes. We had an 11:30 boarding group and arrived at the port just before 11. We were coming from Fort Lauderdale hotel and our Uber driver must have been a former Nascar driver.
Straight to Muster station and so grateful for the way its done now. Wish Disney wouldn't have gone back to the traditional way.
Purchased the unlimited dining and was concerned about reservation times being gone but had no issues getting anything we wanted. Was expecting a long line to make reservations but again no issues. Walked over to a table set up on the Promenade and there was nobody in line.
Purchased deluxe beverage package, never had to wait for a server at any bar we went to. Personally, we wouldn't do the package again because we didn't get the value out of it but it so convenient and great to try no stuff.
MDR. We only had one dinner on Caribbean night and the food was not very good. Breakfast on the other hand was.
Windjammer, again a miss for us but only tried during breakfast.
Other thoughts on Coco Cay Beach Club, Blue Lagoon, Specialty dining and Disembark if anyone is interested just ask.
