Creator's Key Takeaways

I just finished the jewel of the seas that whole series which is already on my YouTube channel. But now we are jumping right into another series and this is a threeight adventure on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas.

I had never been on Freedom of the Seas before, so I have lots of content, lots of opinions and reviews for you.

It was actually really good. So, basically the premise of the ice show was they were searching on the internet the word freedom and different things popped up.

If you've never been to one of the ice shows on a Royal Caribbean ship, they're really unique.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early to drop off luggage and get in line for boarding.
Use the staging area at the port to wait comfortably before boarding.
