Default Revolving doors on Freedom

We were on the Freedom last week and wondering anyone's thoughts on those revolving doors on both sides leading from the H2O zone (kids' area) into the elevator area on the rear of the ship. I was waiting for an elevator and watched this older man walk right into it. He was very dazed and many people offered assistance to him. I really loved the ship and the layout but I believe they could of thought of something better to walk into the elevator area.

The comedian on the farewell show made a joke about them also.

I can tell you they have the same revolving doors on the Liberty also. I DO NOT like them. I think it is an accident waiting to happen. And accidents happen everyday on the ships using these doors. Bad design rcl

I don't like revolving doors ANYWHERE...they scare me! Too easy to get things caught in them. If there's a revolving door with a real hinged door beside it, I'll go for the "hinged" door everytime!

I didn't see a problem with them. I've been on the Freedom and recently returned from Liberty. Sometimes they were moving slowly but you can hit the "speed up" button...
