Royal Caribbean has a long history of creating family-friendly cruise ships that are innovative and fun. When Freedom of the Seas was introduced in 2006, she was the world's largest, carrying 4,375 passengers. And she introduced many cool amenities and activities that have been widely imitated.
Freedom of the Seas is still a great choice for families and she provides positive, quality experiences for kids of all ages, and their parents.
She sails from Port Canaveral on Sundays, and visits CocoCay - Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas - St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.
Freedom of the Seas activities.
Kids who enjoy going to the mall will feel right at home in the four-story Royal Promenade. There are plenty of places to shop and eat during the day, and nightly parades and street performers are fun and festive.
The Adventure Ocean program provides supervised activities for kids in four different age groups. Children who aren't yet potty trained can come with their parents for play dates, and private babysitting is available.
The H2O Zone is extremely popular with older kids. This onboard water park has a waterfall and separate pool, away from the adults. And a private club for teenagers keeps them occupied during the evening hours.
The array of activities on Freedom of the Seas is staggering. Whether you want to scale a rock wall, play nine holes of mini golf, ice skate, box, or surf, you'll be able to do lots of fun things you've never done before. There are three Jacuzzis, two cantilevered whirlpools that jut out from the side of the ship, two swimming pools, a day spa, and a fitness center.
Freedom of the Seas restaurants.
When it's time to eat, kids' favorites like Johnny Rockets and Ben & Jerry's charge a modest surcharge, but the pool-side grill has free burgers and hot dogs, and there's also a café for pizza and paninis.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available in the dining room and Windjammer Café. And My Time Dining lets families choose dinner times that are convenient for them.
Parents will enjoy a night out at one of the two alternative restaurants - Portofino Trattoria and Chops Grille. The first serves salads, pastas, and other Italian specialties. The latter has steak house favorites and yummy desserts.
Freedom of the Sea cabins.
Freedom of the Seas has several types of accommodations that work well for families. All the staterooms have WiFi Internet access, mini fridges, small safes for valuables, and flat-screen TVs where you can watch movies or get more information about shipboard activities.
Those on a budget should consider one of the 172 inside cabins that overlook the Promenade. These are a good value and are a little more inviting than the usual inside cabin.
At 300 square feet, the Family Cabins can sleep up to six. Large parties - up to eight people - can upgrade to a Family Royal Suite. With a living room, two bathrooms, two bedroom, and a big balcony, these are roomy and luxurious.
With tons of fun activities, plenty of dining options, top-quality kids programs, and fun, low-key port calls, Freedom of the Seas offers everything families need for a winning vacation.
