Freedom of the Seas Review

Additional details
After reading some of the reviews on the Freedom of the Seas over the last few months my husband and I had mixed emotions regarding our cruise. So here are our thoughts as first time cruisers.
Background: My hubby, me and our three boys are from Canberra, Australia. We have visited the US many times between us and thought for something different we should try a cruise. We chose the Freedom as last year when we visited Orlando we went for a drive to Cocoa Beach and saw the ship docked and said that we would like to try it.
On the accommodation: We had the family ocean view stateroom. It was very spacious it has 2 bedrooms, the master bedroom had a huge queen bed. I mean HUGE and another room with bunks and that room in itself was big too. In between was a sitting room and the bathroom and there is a pull out double sofa bed in there and you still had enough room to walk.
Cabin Review
Family Oceanview Stateroom
Room 8200: a great size for a family of 5 or 6. In the Master Bedroom there is a huge bed, probably a king size, the down side it only has a curtain to block it off, not really an issue as we never closed the curtain anyways as we have kids. The other room, the kids room, had a bunk bed and had a door on the room. The bathroom/toilet was small and only one person could use it at a time, it's the same in the majority of cabins. Lounge room was a good size and consisted of a double pull out sofa, two single sofa seats and heaps of storage in all rooms. There are 2 good LCD TV's in both the lounge and master bedroom and an in-room safe as well. This room has three good size very large port holes looking at the same view the captain would see from the bridge and they make the room light and airy. The view from this stateroom is spectacular. Being at the front of the ship, this stateroom is amazingly quiet, there is no noise whatsoever, in fact it was that quiet we had to remove the coat hangers from the wardrobes as they were clanging in the quietness as we travelled across the waves.
