Creator's Key Takeaways

i was fortunate enough to be able to start sailing back when freedom of the seas started up again in july of 2021 i saw the numbers grow gradually from 400 800 1500 and last weekend we had 3 200 and this weekend we're scheduled to have 3 300 guests on board this ship

the windjammer is finally open they have had windjammer closed in the evenings and your only option for dinner was the main dining room el loco fresh or going down to sorrentos for pizza

with more people on the ship is that you can't get an elevator as easy as you used to we knew that we were living in the glory days of pressing the button and the elevator would show up that is not the case anymore

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a weekend cruise now because prices are in the sweet spot.
โœ“If you want a quieter experience, find a spot to escape to on the ship.
โœ“Be prepared for longer waits for elevators and crowded pool areas.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Popularity of Royal Caribbean's weekend cruise on Freedom of the Seas has skyrocketed the past two weekends! I have been on 9 weekend cruises since the cruising pause was lifted and have seen the shift from 500 guest to 1,00, to 1,500 and not to sustaining over 3,200 guest is a bit of an adjustment! There are several factors driving this explosive growth on the Freedom of the Seas! These reasons are driving some good changes and some bad changes on the weekend cruise. Overall, it definitely feels like a different cruise but let's explore what you can expect on your weekend vacation!
