Creator's Key Takeaways

this is the ice skating rink ice skating rink is right here that you ice skating show it's my favorite show that royal caribbean has

i highly suggest getting here early this is on deck three deck three cannot walk all the way across the ship either because of the big buckeyes in the middle of the rink

you can get far enough away from there if that bothers you there's always chairs lined up out here but this whole walkway goes down and around the entire ship

this is probably my favorite part of this classic ship because you get the best views on the planet out here and you can only do this on the freedom class ships

βœ“Get to the ice skating show early as it fills up quickly.
βœ“Visit guest services late at night or when in port to avoid long lines.
βœ“Book spa treatments before the cruise as they fill up quickly.
