This was our 65th cruise and our 11 cruise aboard Freedom, sailing the last 9 times in Junior suite 9548. This is our favorite class and ship in the fleet but since it is relocating to San Juan, and we live in Florida will probably not bother with the flight & flying cost. The ship is still in excellent shape and very clean.The crew was very friendly , but we always go out of the way to speak with many.Ive found over the years if you treat the people the way you would like to be treated it comes back to you. We had my time and ate at 800pm most evenings with less than a two minute wait when we walked up. We ate at Chops once , had fillet and very Good. Jacob is the new manager. We ate a tGiovanni's two times and had two of the best meals I have had on a cruise ship.Zoran Trajkovski, the manager at Chops in 2017,3rd floor dinning room in Jan thru March has taken over Giovannis and what a step up in service and food.We didn't care much for the food last December but what a change. We had seen most of the entertainment over the past few years and never went in the show lounge or ice area. The casino has many new machine since our Feb cruise but didn't help our luck. We took a couple Tours of the casino.

We are Diamond plus and in jr. so boarded at 1030 being 3rd & 4th aboard. After 49 people boarded stopped all boarding as Bomb Threat for over three hours. All aboard later but sailed two hours late. We did walk off at 710 am and never stopped until Customs where we waited 2 minutes. Used Park & Go and they were there waiting as usual. We enjoyed the Freedom and confident if you try her in her new port you will not be sorry. Bob & Nancy The Villages, Florida
