Answer 1

I've been on the Freedom of the Seas.

She is a big, BIG ship - in fact, the largest passenger ship in the world! At 160,000 tons, 1110 ft long, and 184 feet wide, she carries over 3600 passengers!

This Royal Caribbean International masterpiece of naval engineering features the first-ever onboard surf park at sea; cantilevered whirlpools that extend 12 feet beyond the sides of the ship; the H2O Zone® waterpark, complete with interactive sculpture fountains, ground geysers and a cascading waterfall; our largest rock-climbing wall, with eleven routes and a central spire you can swing around; and so much more! Extensive WiFi capabilities and connectivity for cell phones will also be available, as well as flat-screen TVs in every stateroom. You've got to see this ship to believe it. You'll love the Royal Promenade.

As far as your cabin, they have 2 basic balcony staterooms: the Deluxe is 173 sq. ft. with a 47 sq. ft. balcony; the Superior is 204 sq. ft. with a 50 sq. ft. balcony.

Regarding smoking, you can smoke in your cabin, on your balcony and on the STARBOARD (right) side of most outdoor decks. There is vertually no smoking in any indoor area. Please be considerate of us non-smokers!

My ONLY complaint about the ship is that I found the chaise lounges to be much to close to each other, requiring you to climb in to your lounge from the front, rather than being able to sit down from the side. They were just too close to each other.

I'm sure that you will have a wonderful cruise, and I hope that this information was helpful.

Bon Voyage!
