Cabins, Suites, and Staterooms on Freedom of the Seas

Like most cruise ships, Freedom of the Seas has a variety of staterooms. But it has more of them than any other vessel. Categories on Freedom of the Seas range from interior staterooms with two twin beds (not advisable for honeymooners or other romantics!) to ocean-view staterooms with and without balconies to spacious junior suites to the impressive Freedom of the Seas Royal Suite, the only place on the ship with a bathtub big enough for two.

Here's what I loved about the Freedom of the Seas staterooms: Wonderful beds. And bathrooms, even in the smallest cabins, are tiled (instead of the ugly beige plastic walls many cruise ships have).

Here's what could be improved on Freedom of the Seas: The addition of magnifying makeup mirrors, brand-name amenities, DVD players and clock radios. And it would be lovely to have teak furniture on the Freedom of the Seas balconies, rather than plastic chairs. View Freedom of the Seas Staterooms.

Spa and Fitness Center Aboard Freedom of the Seas

The objective was to create a "wow" experience for users of the spa and fitness center aboard Freedom of the Seas. With a boxing ring, yoga and Pilates studio, exercise machines, the gym is huge.

The Freedom of the Seas spa, which offers acupuncture therapy, has a relaxation room and multiple treatment rooms, although there is no hydrotherapy pool. There is a hair and beauty salon adjacent to the areas where Freedom of the Seas passengers voluntarily sweat. View the Freedom of the Sea Spa and Fitness Areas .

Royal Caribbean makes it possible for couples to marry aboard Freedom of the Seas. They have the option of sailing with friends and family or simply coming aboard Freedom of the Seas before the ship leaves port.

The Freedom of the Seas wedding chapel is intimate and can be decorated with flowers to reflect the bride and groom's desires. View the Freedom of the Sea Skylight Wedding Chapel.

Whether or not you are in love when you board the Freedom of the Seas, you may nonetheless fall in love with the Freedom of the Seas.
