Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been our Navigator of the Thieves for sister ship many times because she was my home ship before Freedom of the Seas

I still cannot recommend my time dining I think that it is just so much easier to make sure that you have a set time on this sailing

Pro tip here if you're looking at a cabin that is on Deck 2 or deck 3 make sure that you are not beside of Studio B

this ship was completed in the year 2000 and so she's gonna hold about 3 300 passengers at Double occupancy

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Avoid cabins near Studio B on Deck 2 or 3 due to noise
βœ“Use set dining times instead of my time dining for better schedule alignment
βœ“Arrive early at the Windjammer buffet to avoid crowds
βœ“Check the Cruise Compass for daily activities and schedules
βœ“Use the next Cruise office to book an Open Booking for future sailings
