Debsta Posted May 20, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well here I am cruising at 39,000 feet on Southwest on my way to New York after disembarking the ship a few hours ago. The Freedom of the Seas is sensational.............7 days is no where near enough, and more sea days are required LOL I will write my review when I get back.....whenever that is LOL but I really couldn't fault anything....except no midnight chocolate buffet or the big pastry/cake buffet that they used to have. Apparently it's off the menu fleetwide now :( Anyway, at 160,000 tonnes, larger than Voyager but smaller than Oasis/Allure...........she really is a great ship! Until next time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debsta Posted May 31, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk WOW that 21 days went FAST! I had a sensational time and words cannot describe how I'm feeling now..................it was all very surreal although I have 10 gazillion photos to prove I went LOL It's 3 am and the jetlag has got me again on the return :mad: Freedom of the Seas was awesome......but I think she's just too big for a 7 day cruise but would be fabulous for a world cruise hehe. I'll get photos and a review sorted over the coming weeks..........it's going to be a huge job sorting through the photos...............oh and NEW YORK is brilliant, bloody fantastic and far exceeded my expectations. If it's not on your bucket list..........PUT IT ON! Photos just don't do the place justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuitrider Posted June 4, 2012 #23 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Loved the Freedom of the Seas. Then again, I love just being on a ship, whether it's big or small. Kids liked the parades on the promenade and the Character breakfasts. Oh, and those sculpture things near the elevators that you can turn a wheel and they move...always had to schedule an extra few minutes for them to stop and play with those.
