Indy or freedom?

[ripjerry95]

Hi all-

Not new to cruising but new to RC. I have wanted to sail on oasis/allure since they were introduced but they are unfortunately out of my budget. I was considering Indy or freedom and they seem to be almost identical. Anyone sailed on either or both and can give me your thoughts on the ship(s)? TIA

Ships are virtually identical. Freedom has Dreamworks characters if you have kids. Otherwise pick based on itinerary/price.

I find Freedom is much friendlier and more relaxed than Independence

Thanks! No kids for us so dream works isn't a concern !

Are we to assume you are flying? If so, is Indy out of Ft Lauderdale?

 

If the above is correct, I would suggest Indy due to ease to/from airport and ship. FTL is much easier logistically since the airport is within 15 minutes of the cruise port. Even if you fly in the day before I, for the ease of transportation, I would go Indy.

We just got off Freedom last Sunday and our experience was exactly opposite. The staff, even the officers, did not speak when passing, we had to speak first. The entire staff just did not seem happy. We have been on Freedom and had great staff. I think it is hit and miss.
