Freedom of the Seas Honest Review: I Expected More

Welcome to Cruise On Demand, where cruising smart is always on the itinerary. We recently sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas for a 4-night cruise, and I had pretty high expectations going into this one. This was my first Royal Caribbean cruise in years, and I wanted to know if Freedom of the Seas would make me “loyal to Royal.” In this honest review, I’m sharing what I loved, what disappointed me, what surprised me, and whether I would sail Freedom of the Seas again. Freedom of the Seas was not a bad cruise. The ship was clean, the crew was friendly, and there were definitely things I enjoyed. But after four days onboard, I also found myself thinking… I expected more. In this video, I’ll talk about the overall ship, our cabin experience, food and dining, activities, the ship vibe, the crew, who I think Freedom of the Seas is best for, and whether I would personally book this ship again.
