The drive home after our cruise was somber, so to start with, that should give some indication that we did have a great time on the Freedom of the Seas.

We cruised the 7 night E. Caribbean itinerary, with stops intended at Coco Cay (which we had to miss because of rough waters and poor conditions for tending with the boats--a huge disappointment with everyone on the ship), St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.

Embarkation was a breeze as we drove in from out of town, parked right next to the terminal, and were onboard within 15 minutes of checking in at the counter (we did get to the parking lot by 10:30AM, though). The ship itself is beautiful and easy to get around, with giant flat screen TVs everywhere displaying an interactive map of venues and eateries. Cabins were on the large side for inside staterooms (ours was a Promenade stateroom with a view of the promenade and a tiny living room area), and the bathrooms were average in size. The shower, however, was best described by one of the onboard comedians during one of the shows: "Three bars of soap on the ground and a bruise on each knee"...
