Default FOS - today's the day!!!!!

So after 9000 and more hours of counting we sail today! Can't quite believe we are in America with nothing more to do but wait...and get more excited!

I have absorbed so much information from this board and really can't wait to finally board Freedom. Thank you everyone!!! This is our first Royal Caribbean cruise and I just know we are going to love it. I promise to write a review and may try to check in occassionally over the next two weeks - we are on a B2B!

Happy holidays!!!!! Hurrah!!!

Fiona

I was just looking at the webcam and it looks like a beautiful day for sailing. I hope that everyone that is going aboard today has a great time. I will be waiting for a report too.
