The Freedom was spewing oil and soot all over the back of the ship. The window making up the balcony boundary were covered in oil residue. We could not use the balcony the last two days due to the soot on everything, chairs, deck and railings. The ship would not tell us the shore time, even though the Sunrise/set times were shown in local time, which made it hard to know when they actually occurred. On a plus the AC in the room was the coolest we have ever had.
