We traveled on Freedom of the Seas to the Western Caribbean for our honeymoon and it was absolutely fantastic! This was our first cruise and we're ready for another!

We arrived the morning of the cruise by flying in to MCO from Boston. We flew on JetBlue, we had never flown with them before and they were good. Although we didn't use them the seat back TVs were a nice touch. We had previously arranged for travel to the port with Cocoa Beach Shuttle. We only had to wait a few minutes for them to arrive, and then we were off. Upon arriving at the pier check in was a breeze. We arrived around 11 and we were checked in and on board by 11:20, and there were many people already on board. After boarding we headed to the Windjammer for lunch, it was a bit crowded but that is to be expected. We then spent the rest of the day exploring the beautiful ship.

As this was our first cruise we had nothing to compare the ship itself to, but it was in great shape with no real visible wear on it. The public areas were all well maintained. The flowrider was semi-broken during our cruise, meaning only one of the jets was working so using it was limited. This didn't really bother me, because I wasn't really planning on using it but I'm sure others were mad. Our room was 8338, a center hump cabin. The room was a good size with a great view and location! Read more
