I have a suggestion for the name of the next new ship. It should be called "Upcharge of the Seas".
Without going on a day to day description I am just going to focus on my impression of what my 7 day cruise on Freedom of the Seas from Port Canaveral, FL to Coco Cay, St. Thomas USVI, & St. Maarten.
Things I liked. Layout of ship was convenient. Service was generally good. Workers were pleasant & helpful. Shows were very good. Even though fully booked only encountered lines or felt crowded a few times/places.
Small but serviceable. Showed quite a bit of wear for a ship that refurbished only a few weeks prior.
