Creator's Key Takeaways

It was maybe 5 minute walk tops. Um, we had already checked in our bag, so all we had to do was walk to the port. Very, very convenient.

This is um room 1100. It is a spacious uh category 1 L spacious ocean view. It's on deck 11. There's only two of these. Um you can see it's huge. It's larger than a junior suite.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive a little later on embarkation day to avoid crowds.
βœ“Use Port Everglades for easier parking and access compared to Port of Miami.
βœ“Register kids at Adventure Ocean early to avoid long lines.

YouTube Video Description↓

Join us as we embark on the @RoyalCaribbean FREEDOM OF THE SEAS out of Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale) for our 2025 Spring Break cruise. This was a 6-night Caribbean Cruise that left on Sunday, March 23, 2025 and our ports of call were, Nassau, Bahamas, Falmouth (Ocho Rios), Jamaica and Labadee, Haiti. This was the first time in 3 years that we left out of Port Everglades. Compared to the Port of Miami, this port is so much easier to get in and out of. Parking is also a breeze. Parking for 6 nights was $120. There is an off-site parking (https://www.bookparkngo.com/) available at a cheaper rate, but the convenience of the on-site parking is worth it for us. Walking from our car was less than 5 minutes. We were in a Spacious Panoramic Ocean View Stateroom 1100, Category 1L Full Stateroom Tour Here: https://youtu.be/9sq50TA7X3Q While there are other 1Ls on deck 12 and on Liberty & Independence, Freedom is the only one that has THIS layout. 1150 has a mirrored layout. I would book this cabin everytime if I could. We have stayed in a Grand Suite & Ultra Spacious on Freedom of the Seas and we preferred this stateroom above all others. Location was perfect, very quiet and having 2 tv with a child was really nice. The walk-in closet was also AMAZING! We didn't miss a balcony and loved having the panoramic window much more than a small balcony. #freedomoftheseas #royalcaribbean #cruisevlog 🌟My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/mrsshannonford 🌟Shop My Favorites: https://shopmy.us/mrsshannonford SUPPORT ME: My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shannonford Follow Me on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/mrsshannonford https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsshannonford Beauty Related Content: https://www.youtube.com/@shannonlovesmakeup https://www.instagram.com/shannonford.beauty Visit me at: https://shannonford.com/blog 🌟Business Inquiries only contact me at shannon@shannonford.com Disclaimer: Some affiliate links used.
