This was my first time sailing with Royal Caribbean and I must say it was a great time. The freedom of the seas is definitely a ship for first-time cruisers. Getting on the ship and check-in was very easy considering it was our first time. From the flowrider to the rock climbing wall there are tons of activities to do on board. From the main dining room to the buffet the food and the choices were just amazing. Definitely loved the late night pizza. We had an ocean view room which gave us great views of the islands that we visited. The room had a very comfortable feeling.there were great shows in the theater and also late night comedy shows that were a great time. Shopping options are great. Definitely a fun ship for first-time cruisers would highly recommend and also would recommend rebooking on board for the great promotions they offer.
