Presently on the Adventure. Busy port today so ships were delayed. Air show taking place this weekend  along the beach, thus a ton of pleasure boats were out on the water. Show ended around 3:30 and pleasure boats began departing. Fantastic show of beautiful boats.

Freedom is totally kid friendly!

Go to the Celebrity Ilounge on boarding day, they will help you set up your internet and you can make sure you get your loyalty discount. I got off the Silhouette 2 weeks ago and always do it this way.

Buy a bucket of beer at the pool. The bottles are unopened and you can keep them in your fridge.

Presently on the Eclipse. No problem at all. Just stalling because of such a short distance to today’s port of Antigua. Fantastic cruise! Great crowd, entertainment and food has been excellent.

Currently on the Navigator and ate at Johnny Rockets today. The cover charge was $8.20 per person. Soda and dessert included in charge.

On board Adventure in October. The ice show is free and offered 3 different times during the cruise. Open seating, no reservations.

Interesting, I was on a back to back in March an Adventure of the Seas and a $12.36 mini bar charge was added to bill both weeks. Really annoying since mini bar is empty. Royal has a problem that needs to be solved! Did call and it was removed but left me with a bad feeling!

Most of the major hotels have casino. There are 2 right in town. The closest one is downtown almost directly across from where the cruise ship docks. The second one is downtown and to the right of the cruise ships. Easy walk, go to every time I dock in Aruba.

For the life of me I cannot figure people out with their negative comments about this ship. It is beautiful,very friendly crew and the food has been excellent. Only busy at certain times,but nothing so horrible as people say. Buffet seating is busy in front but walk to the back and you can always get a table. Guess some people want to be right by the food!

Loved all the activities, bumper cars are like adult camp! North Star great fun and no charge. We were on in Puerto Rico and had a fantastic view.

Come with a positive attitude and you will be very pleased.

Oh yeah, that rust in the door would really ruin my cruise! Who notices this type of thing? I was on board in August and thought everything was wonderful!

I think the perk is fantastic and since it is free how can a person complain. If you and husband/wife are both diamond you receive 2 days of free internet. Space it out, one day early in the cruise and one day late. Diamond plus each gets two days each and can be spread out any way you want. Just got off Indy, wifi on Apple is sometimes difficult to log on.

Walked off the ship at 9am, picked up luggage and then almost a 40 minute wait in line for customs. The porters no longer have their own line for customs so hardly worth getting one unless you need help with luggage. Lack of custom agents no fault of Royal Caribbean but still very annoying.

Some people are just picky. Life is not perfect, it is what you make it. Some holds true for a cruise. The Freedom is a great ship and the service is fine. Was on b/b in October. No complaints here.

I just booked Adventure for B/B March 2017. Terrific price, balcony discount plus OBC yesterday on Freedom. Can't always have it your way. Book or don't. Some people just always want more.

What's wrong with some of you? No body has any right to put his hands on some ones child! Never, never!

I agree with Colorado Gurl. I also got off the ship on Saturday and had a fantastic cruise. Visiting 5 islands in 6 days does not allow much time for a ton of day time on board activities. I thought the crew was extremely friendly and hard working. Had My Time Dining and loved it. Dining room still offered rack of lamb so I was happy. Supervision at the pool by staff was the best I have ever seen. Yes, there are tons of kids on board but pool staff kept them in line. Stop listening to negative people, some people can never be pleased.

I was on the January 23, 2015 sailing on the Quantum and the Diamond Lounge did have a hot buffet breakfast which was very good.

Those are really strong words concerning John Blair. I don't care who the cruise director is, that person has no effect on my cruise as it is up to me to make my good time. And we all know the world being what it is, the next person will love him.

I just returned yesterday from the Quantum and thought Ken Rush was exceptional!

Have been on this ship 3 times, the most recent Dec. 7, 2014. It is a beautiful ship with great cabins. I love every aspect of this ship. Don't listen to the negative comments, some people are never satisfied.

No bags are checked when getting off the ship in any of the ports, I always bring water and often snacks when getting off if I do not plan to be back on the ship in time for lunch. You need to carry water on these warm Caribbean Islands!
