Cabin: Presidential Family Suite
We recently returned from a fantastic vacation on Freedom of the Seas.
A little background before I begin. This cruise was a family and friend cruise to celebrate a couple of anniversaries. My son got engaged 3 years ago on Oasis and he and his wife are now celebrating their first wedding anniversary. Oasis was the last cruise my mom got to take and never made the wedding so I'm glad we had that time with her. We are diamond and love to cruise and I'm a bit obsessed with suites lol. So this time I opted for the Presidential Family Suite. It was myself, Laura (58), husband Tom (62), son Rob and wife Amanda, my best friends and a couple of cruising buddies.
This was our first time on the Freedom class and I must say it is my new favorite. We somehow jumped through Voyager, Radiance, Oasis, Quiantum and Vision classes but missed the Freedom class. I'm so glad we have now rectified that situation, because we had the best cruise ever and we have had some pretty awesome cruises. I will divide the report into sections for ease of review.
Cabin Review
Presidential Family Suite
Cabin PS
Hands down the best cabin we have ever had and we are no strangers to suites. On oasis I had the two bedroom aqua theater suite and this trumps it. We traveled with 3 other couples and we each had our own bedroom and bath. The two masters at each end were spectacular. I had one and my son the other. There were two entrances, one with a beautiful marble foyer. We also had a spacious living room and dining room and the deck is to die for. Yes there is a superstructure, and yes a platform and yes I was worried, but the minute I stepped out on to it all my fears disappeared. There was a beautiful view straight out. It was panoramic! The superstructure in no way hindered it in my opinion. I did not miss looking down at all. I loved the fact that half the deck was covered and half not. I loved the hot tub, and yes we used it. Plenty of comfy lounge chairs and a huge table and bar. This was such a great deal for four couples
