Creator's Key Takeaways

I have no complaints about the food here, and the service is very attentive, which has never been a problem on any Royal Caribbean ship for me.

The Royal Promenade on the Freedom of the Seas is spectacular with shopping, bars, restaurants, and things to do.

I can't say enough good things about the entertainment on Freedom of the Seas.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓To avoid buffet crowds on the first day, head to Playmakers on deck 4 for lunch.

✓If you prefer an early bedtime, avoid booking a Promenade room due to live music until 11:00 PM.

✓Check the fitness center schedule for available classes.

✓Wear dress shorts, slacks, or jeans for the dining room; swimsuits are not allowed.

Crowds at the buffet on the first day — Go to Playmakers on deck 4 instead.
