Freedom of the Seas Voyage 2 (June 11-18, 2006) Western Caribbean
When sailings on Freedom of the Seas were opened to Crown & Anchor members in February 2005, I eagerly signed up and (not so eagerly) paid the premium for sailings in the Inaugural Season. Over the next year, I followed the construction and pre-launch events on RCCLs freedomoftheseas.com web site, watched the May 12th inaugural and christening on the Today show, and looked forward to seeing the ship for the first time in Miami on Sunday, June 11th.
This was my 4th sailing on Royal Caribbean International. Previous voyages included Monarch of the Seas (Sept 2003 Baja), Serenade of the Seas (April 2004 Panama Canal her first westbound transit!), and Radiance of the Seas (May 2005 San Diego/Vancouver).
