Hi,
Just got back from 7 days on the 160,000 Ton Freedom of the seas. It was a great trip. The weather was not so great. It rained 2 days, and it was so windy on Saturday (Final Sea Day) They closed the upper decks of the ship.
Embarkation - as a diamond member, we were given priority embarkation, and we were on the ship by 1130am. The line seemed to move pretty fast for those behind us.
