Freedom of the Seas

by Marc on October 12, 2008

We’ve always thought it would be cool to live on a cruise ship, and now we call the largest cruise ship in the world home.

This ship really is huge – it reminds me of those self-contained urban developments that are popping up these days in every major city. Besides over 1,800 passenger cabins, it’s got a mall, restaurants & cafes, theaters, 4 swimming pools, a fully-equipped gym, day spa, full-sized basketball court, library, ice rink, internet café, every kind of bar/club you can think of – even a barber shop.

Here are some pictures of our new hometown (population 5,400+):

We chose to start our adventure on this ship because we knew we’d never get bored. I mean, where else can you go surfing in the morning and then be ice skating before your hair dries?

We’ve spent the last 3 weeks enjoying all that this ship has to offer, making friends with some of the crew & staff, plus checking out some great beaches. More on that later – in the meantime, you can see more pictures of Freedom of the Seas on our Flickr page.

We cruised on Liberty of the Seas. I think they are almost the same boat. We just booked on the new “Oasis” for summer 2010.

Hi Ron!

Yes, Liberty is basically the same ship. After 4 weeks on Freedom, with its 3800 - 4200 pax, I have to tell ya - the Oasis scares me! I’ll let you guys go first and tell us how it is!

Hi Danielle & marc:
i know your aunt & uncle; marita & Rend, in Boise. We attend the same church, Vineyard of Boise. Marita told me of your cruise adventure. I think it is a great thing to do. I am a travel consultant and we were talking about cruising, so you guys came up in the conversation.
his is a wonderful experience for the family, particularly the kids. A classroom can not measure up to this.
Just a little note to you. Will keep in touch.
Flo
