Creator's Key Takeaways

Come along for my adventure doing a solo backtoback on Freedom of the Seas.

It was a great morning. Everything has gone so smoothly that um sometimes it's shocking when that happens.

This cruise has been so enjoyable. Um, I really haven't done much to be honest with you. It's just been such a chill, relaxing cruise.

That's why I love solo cruising because you can do all the crazy stuff... or you can be in your room at 6:00 PM and call it a night and just chill out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring seasickness meds for potential rough seas.
For back-to-back cruises, meet in the Star Lounge and follow the process to switch cabins easily.
If you have mobility issues, the tram at CocoCay is a great option.
Arrive early for specialty coffee on the last day, as it may not be available before 6:00 a.m.

Hurricane affecting the cruiseCaptain did an awesome job avoiding Hurricane Aaron; it was just a little bumpy and the itinerary was switched, but it wasn't a big deal.
