Family Cruise: Day 2

This was the day we boarded the cruise ship and boy were we excited.  We were on the Freedom of the Seas ship which is part of the Royal Caribbean fleet.  It was such a HUGE ship- it was like its own small town!  We got onto the ship about 11:30am and had the whole day to explore and get settled.  We started with lunch at the Windjammer Buffet and were pleasantly surprised with SO MANY choices!  There were plenty of food items (and desserts....oh so yummy desserts) to tempt you, but also health choices for mom and dad to make better choices!

We explored the pool, the arcade, the ice skating rink, saw the rock climbing wall, the surfing pool, put put golf course, shopping area, bars, restaurants, casino and all the ship had to offer.

That night was our first evening at for dinner in the dining room and we loved the choices and the ability to order as much food as you want....or lots of appetizers instead of main course...and multiple desserts to just try them!!  We got to know our waitress and waiter and loved "our table"....it was the same one every night.

That evening we had our first experience with the evening entertainment and loved the show.

Our room was small, but we had plenty of room for storage and to be comfortable.  My bed pulled down from the ceiling and I slept right above mom and dad.  It took mom and dad some getting used to and they had some trouble sleeping that first night in fear that I came crashing down on them!

Such a cool experience!

 

Love,
