mumeof3 Posted February 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Do you ever 2nd guess if you made the right decision by booking on the Freedom when maybe we could have looked into a better boat??? After reviewing I am now hoping the food is not as bad as some say,that the cabins are not as worn as some say and that there is a lot to do on ship without spending extra money, we did princess about 8 years ago and loved it....please any new good reviews please post we are going in May and staying on deck 7 towards back in balcony and also inside rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal2464 Posted February 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Freedom is a great ship. Relax and enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD Posted February 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've been on Freedom twice, and am booked again coming up. She's a great ship. We used to sail Princess, but got tired of the constant marketing and staff soliciting good comments. We've also tried NCL but the freestyle was not for us, way too much planning and scheduling and reservations etc. We still had a great time with many wonderful memories. Which leads me to my last point. Maybe you could have found a better ship, but the Fredom is still awesome, and you will have a great time, so don't stress.

Mnamom1105 Posted February 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've been on her twice. She feels like my home away from home. I am a nervous nelly about my upcoming cruise because it's on oasis. I KNOW it will be fun, but it's a new boat for me, and I am soooo comfortable with Freedom. Food has been great, service great, Bingo was fun, and my 10 year old did things that we didn't do when we took him - that boy was NOT afraid to go have fun!!!!

*CENSORED* Posted February 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My wife and I have been on Freedom twice and are going again in May also. We love this ship. And as far as food is concerned, I can't say I've ever really noticed any difference between the different ships.

Daghis Posted February 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've sailed on Freedom of the Seas twice and have two more cruises booked on her (including one in just 17 days!). I think she's a wonderful ship, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what's been updated in her refurbishment last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coast2coast Posted February 25, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2016 We went on the Freedom in July of 2014 and have another trip on her this July as well. Try not to go in with "preconceptions" based on other people's feelings. If you go in expecting bad food and worn furnishings, you're sure to find them. I really only ever read the reviews to look for information about times/days of activities/shows, menus, excursion information, etc. Two people can go on the same ship, experience the same exact things, eat the same food, and come out with two completely different types of reviews. Do things on the ships get worn out sometimes? Yes. Can they replace everything every week? No. It still amazes me how good these ships DO look knowing the amount of passengers that sail them weekly (and how some passengers treat the ship :eek:). Just my two cents (or maybe 3). :) Whatever you do, ENJOY your vacation!!! :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksgarden Posted February 25, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 25, 2016 We absolutely loved Freedom. I try not to put much stock into negative comments. Some people just like to hear themselves complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted February 25, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Gosh I hope everyone can't stand her down in Ft. Lauderdale and they send her back up to us where she belongs! :eek: ;) Please...please don't let her go down there RCI!! Make her stay here!!! We love her!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 25, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Gosh I hope everyone can't stand her down in Ft.

We love her!! :D Unfortunately, that ship has sailed, so to speak. We will miss her, but happy to get Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. Unfortunately, NCL got the Saturday slot for Epic, and Carnival has taken over T10, so I don't think there's anywhere to dock a Freedom or Voyager ship now.

bigque Posted February 26, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Freedom is one of the best ships in the fleet IMHO! It was the best and largest before Oasis Class! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Spirit is there now Hmmm...I was totally wrong in my thinking that the new terminal was just for RCI then. :( Drats....I was hoping we would get a Freedom, Voyager, Radiance, (or Celebrity would be terrific!) for that Saturday slot. Both Epic and Oasis at same terminal.....parking will be very interesting at terminal 1!! :eek: Edited February 26, 2016 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you just imagine trying to park at the new terminal with both Epic and Oasis passengers taking up parking spots?! :eek: There's the big surface lot on the east side. It's designated commercial, but I don't see why they couldn't use it for overflow. And don't forget the weekend passengers. Definitely a lot of them need to park.

But I am guessing they will start to get overwhelmed also. That is the one of the things I miss about our old house in Merritt Island, could take a taxi from the house just 5 miles away and leave our vehicle in our own garage! ;) We are 20 miles away here now in the new house.

We find someone in our building to drop us off and then cab back when it's over. $25 including tip. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
