Freedom of the seas3/9/2023 Definitely appreciated by all four of us. It's always fun to celebrate things at sea and this was pretty cool I thought. Our waiters sang us a happy anniversary song and clanged the butter dish lids like tiny cymbals :) This lemon meringue tart was my favorite dessert of the cruise. However you could get cold-water / Maine lobster in the Chops and Portofino's. One thing to note is that the lobster in the main dining room - like most lines, is warm-water lobster. However, the chateaubriand above was absolutely delicious and so was the lobster on formal night. However it sort of felt awkward with things that were overly fancy but not always prepared properly i.e. I have to say that compared to our initial voyage it is MUCH improved. Royal recently updated the menu and the preparation / presentation. This model should provide a pretty good idea for just how big this ship is. This trip was a dual anniversary celebration - our belated anniversary and my parent's early one. Royal's PR folks sent us a bouquet - THANK YOU! Luckily we had some cleaning wipes and took care of the dust / dirt and misc crud between buttons. Similarly, the remote for the TV was filthy. While the room was nice, the downside of having a lot of wood is that it isn't as durable as other materials and it was clearly showing its age. Normally we cruise in inside cabins, but it was very nice having a bit of extra room and a couch etc. This is the balcony on our room - we had a standard balcony in the "hump" area so our view was actually angled a bit so we could see aft. You can see the Kennedy Space Center, Freedom of the Seas, Disney Dream, and Carnival Inspiration if you squint hard enough. Our journey began in Port Canaveral, the photo above is the view from our hotel room at the Hampton Inn Coco Beach. Launched in 2006, so it is also one of the newer ships in Royal Caribbean's fleet. The ship can carry 3,634 passengers and 1,360 crew. In case you are wondering, a ship of this size burns 28,000 pounds of fuel per hour while cruising at speed. It isn't the newest or largest ship in Royal's fleet but it certainly had some fun "Designed for Wow" features that others simply don't, so let's start exploring.įreedom of the Seas is a MASSIVE ship - weighing in at 154,407 Gross Tons, it is 1,112 feet long, and features 18 decks (15 passenger decks). For this trip review, we decided to try the Freedom of the Seas.
