We sailed on the Freedom of the Seas from Sept 12 - 16 to the Bahamas. We picked this ship because of the Ice rink on board.
Embarkation:
Super easy! We were suite passengers and also Key passengers so we were escorted to the suite lounge for check-in and waiting. We were on the boat by 11. They said that lunch started at 11, but it didn't start until 12, and our room wasn't ready until 1, so we wandered around the boat for an hour. Still, it was nice to board with the first group.
We were in room 9648 which was a suite. The room was nicely sized for two people and the balcony was large which was nice. There was a good sized closet which was a surprise. The only down side was the television, the station options were extremely limited. They didn't even offer the basics, (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) we watched FOX news all week.
