Back to reality and work!

We got off the Freedom of the Seas about 8:30 AM (our time) and made it home about 11:30 PM Sunday. We decided to drive straight thru to out run the ice/snow storm in the south. We were both like zombies yesterday. :blink: :blink:

The ship was beautiful and we had a great time with Ellie and Frank. There was some things we did not like and I will go into more detail when I get a chance to write a review.

The four of us in St Martin

Keith and Rita, viewing that photo of you with Ellie and Frank makes me warm on this frigid Colorado day. Thanks for sharing a piece of your vacation.

Nice picture Keith! Welcome back, curious to hear what you thought of the ship

We loved the ship, however it just holds to darn many passengers. It was crowded just about every where you went. We were surprised about the embarkation and disembarkation, considering the numbers, they went very well. RCI did a good job in this area. Being at Port Canaveral instead of FLL most certainly helped.

The service on the ship and the food were not good. The worse we've had on 19 previous cruises. We had bar servers tell us we need to add an extra tip to the drinks as the 15% is not enough! I told them if they had to ask for more then they did not deserve more! Our waiter told Rita we could give him cash even if we choose to use the auto tipping. He was the worse waiter we've ever had! :thumbdown:
