Royal Caribbean's
Freedom-Class Fleet: Newer, Bigger,
Bolder

With one of the newest fleets afloat, Royal Carribean is
beaming when it comes to their Freedom-Class ships. And with
good reason! The namesake, "Freedom," is currently touring the
Caribbean and - if she is any indication - the others in the
lineup will cause quite a stir in the cruise industry. Quite
frankly, the Freedom class is impressive and offers some truly
unique features.
At over 160,000 tons, each of the three ships in the
Freedom-Class fleet carries 3,634 passengers at double
occupancy. They also have several other things in common.
FlowRider® - The first ever surf park at
sea, the FlowRider® is a blast! This exciting surfing ride
gives you the feeling that you're hanging ten on a Maui wave
without ever leaving the ship. It may be wet and wild, but it's
also easy to master, so everyone can participate. Instructors
are always on hand to help when needed.
H20 Zone - Kids and their parents get in on
the water-filled fun, too, in the H20 Zone. Brilliantly colored
hoops, mushrooms and other shapes sprinkle and splash you with
water, as you cool off. No other ships have this type of
innovative water park.
Solarium - If a little de-stressing is what
you need, the Solarium with cantilevered whirlpools is just the
ticket. With its rainforest motif, the Solarium extends 12 feet
beyond the sides of the ship, so you get a view like no other!
What could be more relaxing than feeling as if you're floating
across the ocean like a bird?
Rock-Climbing Wall - This massive tower is
another Royal Caribbean first. Standing almost four stories
high, this rock wall has 12 trails to follow. Guests of every
activity level can give it a try! Your reward? Not only will
you get some great exercise, but you'll also find a
breathtaking view at the top!
Full-Size Everlast® Boxing Ring - Complete
with safety gear, this is the first boxing ring at sea. Enjoy
sparring sessions with fully qualified instructors, mirror
boxing, speed bags, master bags, one-on-one training sessions
and more. It's bound to be a hit!
Ice-Skating Rink - Put on a pair of skates
and chill out on this full-size ice-skating rink. It's a great
way to chill out after spending time in a tropical
paradise.
Royal Promenade - Not just a glorified
hallway with shops, this is Main Street U.S.A.! Cobblestone
walkways, street performers and more make this a fun place to
be. Shops, restaurants, bright colors, skylights and bridges
are at every turn. You'll find the unique as well as the
familiar, like Ben & Jerry's ice cream!
With so much in common, how could you possibly choose
between these three ships? Look for their scheduled
itineraries:
- "Freedom of the Seas," launched in 2006, offers 32
captivating Western, Eastern and Southern Caribbean ports
of call, departing from 10 different cities.
- "Liberty of the Seas," launched in May 2007 with a
limited Caribbean schedule, includes the wildly popular
ports of Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, St. Maarten
and San Juan.
- "Independence of the Seas," launched in May 2008,
sails to classic European destinations.
Even if you've taken a dozen cruises before, sailing on a
Freedom-Class ship is a must! With so many "firsts," it will be
a whole new vacation experience for you and your family.
