Freedom of the Seas

Is bigger better? Freedom of the Seas is the largest cruise ship in the world. Think massive, awe-inspiring, stimulating, magnificent and enormous. Royal Caribbean launched the Freedom of the Seas in June 2006. Freedom of the Seas is probably the world's most anticipated cruise ship since Cunard's Queen Mary 2.

This class of ship represents an evolutionary change in shipbuilding. Onboard the Freedom you will find the line's big ship hallmarks such as the ice-skating rink, rock-climbing wall, Royal Promenade and inline skating rink. You'll also find it to be the most innovative ship in the world.

Royal Caribbean also hopes to lure extended families with an expanded array of larger suites. Freedom has four spacious, two-bedroom family suites that sleep up to eight, and 16 cabins designed for families of five or six — a rarity on many cruise ships. But Freedom's crown jewel for families is the four-bedroom Presidential suite, sleeping up to 14.

Children are invited to avail themselves of Adventure Ocean youth facilities. Extensive WiFi capabilities and connectivity for regular cell phones means that you'll always be able to stay in touch.

At night passengers are enticed back to the main pool area with an open-air nightclub. There's a large dance floor between the two pools with themed parties and disco events.
