Freedom of the Seas Mediterranean Cruise

Doing some research for our May 2017 cruise and have a couple of questions.

-Is Mediterranean new for FOTS? I can't find much information other than currently offered sailings.

-If anyone has done that itinerary, do you have a cruise compass to share? Would love to know what nights the formal nights are on and if there are any themed nights.

Thank you in advance!!!!

She did sail around Europe for a very short time doing trials after she was finished in Turku, Finland. She did sail across the pond in May 2006 and has never been back since. You may find the same itinerary on another ship from last year, but I am pretty sure someone else will chime in on that.

We did a Med cruise on Liberty of the Seas in 2011 or 2012. The ports were pretty similar to the FOS itinerary (Toulon instead of Marseilles) (Livorno instead of La Spezia).

Also trying to information on FOTS. Does anyone know if any of the cruise port we have to tender in?

Thanks

I might do the Mediterranean as well but at the end of the season. Lucky I hope to find more info after the ship starts sailing in a few months and more people come back with comments.

No, you dock in La Spezia. Tendering only in Villefranche (if you go there).

Wife and I are doing Freedom on May 14 out of Barcelona. I think Liberty of the sea has been handling this cruise for the past couple of years and I don't believe Freedom starts until sometime in April.This will be our third time on Freedom of the Seas

Hi also doing this itinerary - and wondering from anyone who has been to these ports is there a beach close by to any of them. Thank you.

Villefrance has a small beach but Nice has lovely beaches a few miles away.

Civitevechia (port for Rome) has a lovely promenade and beach.

43 cruises and counting.

Thank you for your reply would ideally like a beach close to the ship that we could get off maybe and walk to for 2 or 3 hours.. I am the only one who likes the beach so they will not want to stay any longer at one so not really worth driving to one.

The shuttle takes you to Civitevechia in 5 minutes and it is about 10 ten minutes walk from the drop off to the promenade.

La Spezia the shuttle drops you off at the port gates in 2 minutes if you turn left there is a lovely promenade where you should find a nice beach and you can see the ship docked nearby.

When you are on the ship if you look from the left hand side of the ship you could confirm the beach before you get off.

Regarding the beaches - my experience is that you'll get fine sand beaches in the French Riviera whereas in Italy it will they tend (not all of them) to be fine gravel beaches. Just something to keep in mind - make sure you have water shoes of some kind.
