Creator's Key Takeaways

We recently came back from a 4-day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas.

I wanted to know, is the Freedom of the Seas going to feel dated, or is it actually one of those classic Royal Caribbean ships that still works because the size, the layouts, and the activities make sense?

I would consider purchasing the dining package to add some of those restaurants to your dining.

The Freedom of the Seas makes sense as a Royal Caribbean ship. It's not the newest ship in the fleet, but it still gives you a lot to do, and the layout is really easy to learn.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider purchasing the dining package for specialty restaurants on shorter cruises.
Eat at off-peak times to avoid crowds at the Wind Jammer buffet.
Visit kids' clubs early to help them make friends.
Book dining reservations in advance for preferred seating.
