Creator's Key Takeaways

It's our final day aboard Freedom of the Seas and it's a holiday. It's Halloween, our first ever holiday on a cruise ship.

The hamburger is amazing, and those fries are the star of the show for just about anything you order at Playmakers.

I enjoyed it. It was good music, good dancing, good singing.

I really want to see Royal Caribbean really lean in hard in the Halloween and some of these holidays if we sail on them again in the future.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Order the lime and coconut drink when watching a movie on the pool deck.
Let Royal Caribbean know if your luggage is broken; they offer onboard credit or replacement.
Check out the Playmakers classic hamburger for a great lunch option.
