Intro:
This was our second cruise on Freedom of the Seas, the first being in October of 2009. That cruise was so thoroughly enjoyable that we decided to go again. We booked this cruise in December of 2009 with two other couples. Before the cruise we stayed at the Country Inn and Suites for their parking deal. It allows you to park you car at their hotel, and they transport you to the pier on the day of the cruise. This ends up saving quite a bit of money in parking fees. The cruise was a seven day Western Caribbean itinerary from Port Canaveral to Labadee, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.
Embarkation:
Due to the view being obstructed by the Ben and Jerry's cows, this room has been designated the "Ben and Jerry's Sweet". Guests staying in this room are allowed access to the Concierge Lounge, as well as one free Ben and Jerry's ice cream per day. The room is also decorated in cow styling. There is a crew elevator and stairway next door which can be noisy from time to time.
