Freedom of the Seas Review

Additional details
I convinced my husband that we should take this cruise for our honeymoon because it was the perfect timing, it allowed us to explore Europe for the first time together, and a cruise would allow us to relax. What a fantastic choice! There are no words to explain how awesome our experience was. The ship had a huge range of activities for couples and families. It felt like just the right amount of options- we didn't feel like we were missing things, but there were always great options from which to choose. Our cabin was surprisingly comfortable, though the shower was small (to be expected). The excursions were fantastic- there was a variety to choose from depending on your budget and interests. We absolutely ADORED the crew! Not only did we look forward to visiting different parts of the ship because we got to see our favorite people, but I'm convinced that I need a career change. All of the crew members were so happy and friendly all the time!
Cabin Review
Panoramic Oceanview Stateroom
I expected the stateroom to be so small that I would never want to be in it. That was not the case! It was super comfortable! The biggest complaint that I had was the size of the shower, but in terms of the overall experience, that was negligible.
Port Reviews
Marseille
We decided to do an excursion not connected with the cruise because I LOVE the Count of Monte Cristo and I wanted to visit the Chateau d'if. We payed $60 per person for a city pass that gave us admission to public transportation as well as a ton of museums in the city. Unfortunately, it was too windy for the ferry to bring us to the Chateau d'if, so we didn't get to accomplish our goal. The port was beautiful though, and I'm sure that the shore excursions connected to the cruise were great.
Barcelona
We stayed at the hotel on the port (in front of the gondola ride) and it was super easy to get to the ship.
