Creator's Key Takeaways

She's the kind of ship that doesn't try to be the newest kid on the block. But she doesn't have to be.

The overall stateroom experience is not cutting edge in the smart tech sense, but it's dependable, comfortable, and clean.

Freedom of the Seas is the kind of ship that plays the hits and plays them well. She isn't chasing headlines. She's chasing a good time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book Chops Grill reservations early as word gets around fast.
βœ“Head to the sun deck early on port-heavy sailings to secure seating.
βœ“Book spa treatments early in the sailing for better time slots and potential port-day discounts.

Skeptical about interior cabins β€” They are smart picks for cruisers who plan to spend most of their day out and about; the darkness makes for great sleep.
Getting turned around on a big ship β€” Upgrade to an ocean view cabin for a visual anchor to see where you are in the world.
