Creator's Key Takeaways

Freedom of the Seas, one of Royal Caribbean's midsize ships.

The main pools and hot tubs are centered here on deck 11 with plenty of surrounding seating and a nearby Lime and Coconut Bar.

The Royal Prominade is the central indoor hub of the ship, and this is where freedom really shows why it works so well for firsttime cruisers and families.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go early or wait a little bit later to avoid Cday breakfast crowds at Wind Jammer.
Hit up the main dining room for breakfast on a Cday to avoid crowds.
