My wife and I have been on numerous cruises and decided to take our grandchildren with us for their first cruise. They are six and nine so it was important to make the right choice. We choose The Freedom Of The Seas since RCCL is our cruise line of choice and The Freedom Of The Seas is set up to entertain children of all ages. We live about one and a half hours from Port Canaveral. Easy to get to and easy to embark and disembark. We decided to book a superior balcony stateroom on the stern of the ship. Right choice, great time. The Captain , Hotel Manager and all officers where upbeat and everything ran like clockwork. The ship is well maintained. The children attended the Adventure Ocean where they had many activities for them. When there was down time (not to often) and we where not attending an ice show, comic, Coco Cay private island, meals..... The list is to long. The shows where all top rate and we did not want to miss anything, Kids loved it as well as my wife and I. In summary we all had a great time! Thank You Freedom Of The Seas. We will be back!
