Upon the 2006 debut of Freedom of the Seas, it was Royal Caribbean's largest and most innovative cruise ship ever. This "mega ship" sails year-round from Port Canaveral, Florida (only about a 45-minute drive from the popular theme-park-filled city of Orlando) sailing on 7-night cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Freedom of the Seas was the world's first cruise ship to have its very own surfing simulator, FlowRider®, which can now be found among its sister ships and the Oasis Class ships.

 

In Spring 2020, Freedom of the Seas will emerge from an extensive dry-dock, where she will receive all the enhancements of the Royal Amplified initiative! Updates will include a brand new pool deck (featuring The Lime and the Coconut Bar as well as the Perfect Storm waterslide trio), a brand new Giovanni's Italian Kitchen venue, and the guest-favorite Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade. She will then begin to offer 7-night sailings from San Juan to the Southern Carribean, featuring stops at places like Barbados, Antigua, St. Lucia, and more!

There are many dining options available on board Freedom of the Seas. Among them are the main dining rooms, Windjammer Café (featuring buffet-style breakfast and lunches), Cafe Promenade (a 24-hour cafe featuring light menu items), a of couple upscale, specialty restaurants (that each have a per person cover charge), as well as room service. Royal Caribbean allows its guests to select between Traditional (assigned) or My Time (open) dining for dinner, giving them the freedom to enjoy their vacation as they'd like.

As far as accommodations go, there are many great options available on board Freedom of the Seas. Among the possibilities are inside staterooms, ocean views, balconies, junior suites and full suites. Accommodations range in size from 152 all the way up to 1,406-square feet, including rooms designed specifically for families.

You should never run out of things to do while on a Freedom of the Seas cruise. Whether you decide to relax and enjoy yourself at the full-service spa, have fun at the outdoor children's aqua park, The H2O Zone, or enjoy the Latin-style atmosphere, while dancing the night away, at Boleros Lounge, you're sure to have a wonderful time!

Since March 27, 2011, Freedom of the Seas boasts many exciting enhancements. An outdoor poolside movie screen was added, as was a 3D movie theater, Royal Babies and Tots Nursery, the BRITTO Gallery, The Cupcake Cupboard, Vintages Wine Bar, touch-screen signs, enhanced WiFi service, as well as Chefmakers Cooking Academy®.

Ship Highlights

FlowRider®
Freedom of the Seas was the first cruise ship to ever have this Royal Caribbean signature feature. It's a surfing simulator that's often one of the most popular places to be at on this ship. Lessons from the ship's staff experts are available for those that don't feel comfortable "just going for it."

Royal Promenade
Take a walk down this four-story (mall-like) area, also known as the heartbeat of Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. While walking through the Royal Promenade, you can enjoy its many bars, eateries and shops. This is definitely one of the "places to be" on a Freedom of the Seas cruise.

The Crypt
For those looking to experience a moment from the past, you are sure to encounter this when you enter this surreal disco that is decorated like a medieval castle. This two-tiered venue is one of Freedom of the Seas' hot spots during the evening of each cruise. Simply enjoy yourself while you dance the night away!

H2O Zone
Bring out your inner child and enjoy this colorful and unique interactive waterpark for children of all ages. This innovative waterpark became the first of its kind when Freedom of the Seas debuted, with its one-of-a-kind sculpture fountains, ground geysers, cascading waterfalls and more.
