This was our 8th cruise in five years with Royal Caribbean and our 3rd time on Freedom. We frequently cruise with a bunch of folks we've met on other cruises. Each year, the group changes up somewhat based on who is able to come and every year we add more folks to the bunch. This cruise was our Back to the Freedom cruise (theme based on the Back to the Future II movie when Marty and Doc arrive in the future 10.21.15). Many of us had these very cool Back to the Freedom tee shirts that were advertised/bought through our very active Cruise Critic thread. Most of us were approached at least once by fellow PAX who wanted to know where they could buy the shirts, they were THAT cool. Folks, good idea to be involved with your Cruise Critic thread so you don't miss on on these sort of special opportunities!
