Loved the freestyle program. Didn't have to worry about "formal" dressing every evening. Didn't have to worry about missing dinner or rushing to dinner after touring during the day. It really felt like a vacation where one could truly relax and not worry about schedules.

The public areas were lovely. The running and walking lanes were great. The pools were lovely, but if you were not an "early" bird - there was no place to put a chair. Those people who had chairs didn't keep room for people to walk thru so one couldn't really get to the pools unless you went really early - prior to 8am. Didn't feel like getting up at 7 - have breakfast and rush down to the pool areas.

The food was great - my favorite was Il Addagio and Le Bistro for the cover charge restaurants. Enjoyed the Seven Seas and the Four Seasons. The Great Outdoor Cafe had very nice buffets and was opened when the others were closed so one didn't miss any meals.

We had an inside stateroom. It did not bother us to have no portholes. The surprise was the KING SIZE BED!! WHAT A TREAT. The closet space was wonderful. We had a sofa bed that could sleep two - if we had children with us it would have been great. The bathroom was compact and had everything we could need. Lots of HOT WATER!!!!

The shows were great -Ayn Ryan dancers were wonderful, the illusionist and the comedy acts were also wonderful. Totally enjoyed the entertainment.

We did day tours - one of which was cancelled due to lack of interest. We were disappointed. We visited Roatan Island, Honduras, Belize, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

With freestyle there is not that much "bonding" going on. Most people when asked about seating preferred to sit by themselves and did not want to share a table - therefore not that much interaction with others. Sitting with strangers is somewhat uncomfortable, I think, for most people.
