Creator's Key Takeaways

I have no complaints about the food here, and the service is very attentive, which has never been a problem on any Royal Caribbean ship for me.

I can't say enough good things about the entertainment on Freedom of the Seas.

The Royal Prominade on the Freedom of the Seas is spectacular with shopping, bars, restaurants, and things to do.

You'll love this place.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If you want to avoid the crowds at the buffet on your first day, head down to deck 4 and go into Playmakers.

✓If you go to bed early, you may not want to book this prominade room.

✓If you only hit three bars on Freedom, make it Skooner Bar, Bull and Bear Pub, and Viking Crown.

Crowds at the buffet on the first day — Head down to deck 4 and go into Playmakers for lunch until your room is ready.

Noise from live bands in promenade rooms — If you go to bed early, you may not want to book this prominade room.
