Hello Dee and Jay! One of our dear friends, and our dog sitter when WE go cruising, is on the same exact sailing right now with you. I can’t wait to see your videos of CocoCay and Nassau to see if I can find her family in any of your clips. I’m excited to talk to her when she gets back to Miami so I can tell her that she sailed with “celebrities”! 💞 Enjoy your last day at sea and thank you both for such entertaining and informative videos.
I love your videos! This one was particularly fun- you had pictures of Vision of the Seas- we were on Vision that day. It was very interesting to see our ship in comparison to the other ships. Thanks!
Being on the Odyssey for two weeks, I hardly watched any videos, there was always something to do, I am catching up on the Freedom, we did Freedom on 22 after Thanksgiving, just like you, Mon-Fri, loved it! See you soon!
I booked Freedom of the Seas for April on a three day cruise. I needed two points to make Diamond before my transatlantic. I'm excited to go on a new (to me) class of ship. It looks a lot nicer than I thought.
Sacrilege!!! There was PRIME RIB on the menu and no partaking?!?! Well, more for the rest of the crowd! LOL Already enjoying this series and eagerly awaiting Mr Editing Jay to get the next episodes done and posted!
Glad you expressed confusion about the ice show theme; I was trying to pick up what they were putting down but just couldn`t grasp it lol! The performers were good though; very talented.
Just catching up but I'm happy to see this class. Looks like something we would TOTALLY cruise on to go back to Royal. We only did the Allure and it was TOO big for us. Turned us off immediately.
From the entertainment to the activities on the ship I felt like I was watching a high school quad. Look like people try to be grown ups but they weren't quite succeeding
Wow Freedom has all the good restaurants like Izumi, playmakers and that Taco place something Fresh. Do you remember was that Moises leading the line dance?
Hey Jay what are those two big round ball looking things next to the ships exhaust mats is it like a Radar or something? Excuse my ignorance of ships 😢😅
My running gag is to refer to them as "internet balls" because they do have something to do with communication, but I believe radar is more likely!! :D ~Jay
Just returned from Freedom. Very true there are only two electric plugs in cabin, which are shown at the desk. No plugs by beds for those using CPAP breathing machines.
i have never been on a Freedom class, just once i went on a Voyager class and did not like it, but Freedom class looks interesting, i have done Oasis class and Quantum which I love as ships! thank you for your wonderful videos!!
Will Be On Freedom September 8-22nd 2024. Back To Back Cruise Thanks To A Casino Offer And My Annual Prime Cruise. 2 weeks on board. Will be Diamond Plus After This Trip🎉
If you like to play a while with lower bets, I love either the Lightning Link or Dragon Link because you can usually play 50 cent spins and the bonus games are pretty exciting. I once won $1,000 jackpot on a 50 cent bet on Lightning Link onboard Carnival Magic, so that was definitely exciting!! :D ~Jay
Normally just the size of the ship and the features that it has onboard. Smaller ships tend to have fewer restaurants, show venues, etc. One step above this ship is the Oasis class which has a "park" with trees in the middle of the ship, a big dry slide on the back, a whole carnival-themed area with a carousel, and sooooo much more!! :P
That it is obvious that you both are 2 intelligent people and cannot understand why you would put yourselves through the madness that is obviously on this cruise. Each to their own.
We're treadmill folks when it comes to gyms, so Freedom OTS was pretty impressive! We loved a few of the features in the Viva gym like chilled towels and the awesome water dispenser, so it might be a close second, ha ha... :P
Congrats on reaching Diamond Plus! I just Googled how many points that is and I am gobsmacked by the jump from Diamond Plus (175) to the next level up, Pinnacle Club (700!) 🤯 Think you’ll make Pinnacle by the end of the decade? 😜
Freedom is my favorite ship so far. Perfect size and not so crowded.
Thanks!
Freedom class is the best for me, just the right size & love the open promenade..
We love the freedom class ships!!
Freedom was our first Royal Ship so it holds a special place in my heart and memories
Independence of the seas last year was my first…. Both a part of the freedom class I’m hoping to sail on freedom of the seas in May of this year.
Great video. I liked your commentary on the MDR food. It was helpful.
So fun to see they have Dutch real butter on the ship. 🙂
Thank you so much for the great video's I will be on Freedom in September, and you gave great pointers!!!!
Thank you for another great video! Love you guys and really appreciate your efforts. Hope to meet you one day ;-).

I love Freedom of the Seas. I'm looking forward to these vlogs. I can't wait to sail on her again.

I love your videos!!! I just finished watching your Mexican cruise. Hilarious dad joke commentary 😂
Oh that saag looked bloody good! 👍🏼
Did this cruise on Freedom for Halloween. You bought back a lot of memories. We loved Nassau.

LOL ~ So " Funny "" Great job you guy's ~ had me laughing the Whole Time ~ 😅
Hi, that butter made me smile. It’s from my country the Netherlands. And I would love to see the skating show.
Sacrilege!!! There was PRIME RIB on the menu and no partaking?!?! Well, more for the rest of the crowd! LOL Already enjoying this series and eagerly awaiting Mr Editing Jay to get the next episodes done and posted!
Sweet key lime pie bah bah bah!! LOL!!
Awesome I will be on that ship in a few days
Glad you expressed confusion about the ice show theme; I was trying to pick up what they were putting down but just couldn`t grasp it lol! The performers were good though; very talented.
Freedom is my favorite! We sailed on Freedom 2nd of our 19 cruises.
Just catching up but I'm happy to see this class. Looks like something we would TOTALLY cruise on to go back to Royal. We only did the Allure and it was TOO big for us. Turned us off immediately.
Hey dee and jay I been on freedom of the seas two times and love ❤️ windjammer cafe
Love Freedom
Love Freedom, will be on her again in April for the 3rd time. Trying Oasis the end of the year.
From the entertainment to the activities on the ship I felt like I was watching a high school quad. Look like people try to be grown ups but they weren't quite succeeding
Wow Freedom has all the good restaurants like Izumi, playmakers and that Taco place something Fresh. Do you remember was that Moises leading the line dance?
It was indeed! We've had him before, always fun!! :D

I always love the Royal Caribbean ice shows!
Was on her a number of years ago balcony. Over Xmas. Had beautiful Xmas Eve Carol Sing and both daily Hanukkah and Xmas Services and daily Mass.
Just returned from Freedom. Very true there are only two electric plugs in cabin, which are shown at the desk. No plugs by beds for those using CPAP breathing machines.
i have never been on a Freedom class, just once i went on a Voyager class and did not like it, but Freedom class looks interesting, i have done Oasis class and Quantum which I love as ships! thank you for your wonderful videos!!
Love the Freedom. I have been on it 5x! Can't wait to go on her again.
Have you all been to Labadee, their other private island?
We have indeed! I think only once or twice, but it's a fun day for sure!! :D
We heard the pool is above the Promenade and the "mermaid" is actually a swimmer diving down from the pool.
The Freedom class is basically a stretched version of the Voyager class.
Will Be On Freedom September 8-22nd 2024. Back To Back Cruise Thanks To A Casino Offer And My Annual Prime Cruise. 2 weeks on board. Will be Diamond Plus After This Trip🎉
Can you do more all inclusives like iberostar puerto plata. You are the reason we went to occidental at xcaret.
No plans for any all-inclusive trips right now, though we did love them when we did them!! :D
How is the food compared to NCL
Virgin, NCL and HAL are leading the food game for us right now, woohoo!! :D
Hey see and jay what is your favorite part of freedom of the seas
Not sure that we had a favorite part, but we always love the promenade style ships, and the ice skating shows!! :D
Heading on a Celebrity cruise Thursday. What is a good slot machine to okay. So many to choose from please help.
To play?…
If you like to play a while with lower bets, I love either the Lightning Link or Dragon Link because you can usually play 50 cent spins and the bonus games are pretty exciting.

Thank you Dee! Love you guys! Thanks for sharing!
Good morning
What is the difference between classes of ship?
Normally just the size of the ship and the features that it has onboard. Smaller ships tend to have fewer restaurants, show venues, etc. One step above this ship is the Oasis class which has a "park" with trees in the middle of the ship, a big dry slide on the back, a whole carnival-themed area with a carousel, and sooooo much more!! :P
Did you go directly from the Viva to the Freedom?
We did! Walked from Terminal B over to Terminal A.
Are those rooms facing the promenade noisy with all that loud music
Did Freedom last summer. Liked the ship, but didn't like the shorter cruise.
That it is obvious that you both are 2 intelligent people and cannot understand why you would put yourselves through the madness that is obviously on this cruise. Each to their own.
What a nightmare!!!
Do you have a favorite gym on a ship yet?
We're treadmill folks when it comes to gyms, so Freedom OTS was pretty impressive! We loved a few of the features in the Viva gym like chilled towels and the awesome water dispenser, so it might be a close second, ha ha... :P
I am actually happy to see that Royal gets that men change babies too.
You are 2 intelligant people why r u on this cruisr? Ann Bourne
Not sure what you mean... intelligent people do go on cruises from time to time!! :D ~Jay
Congrats on reaching Diamond Plus! I just Googled how many points that is and I am gobsmacked by the jump from Diamond Plus (175) to the next level up, Pinnacle Club (700!) 🤯
Think you’ll make Pinnacle by the end of the decade? 😜
Eh, the giant leap to the highest loyalty level on both Royal and Celebrity is a bit craaaaazy!! :P
