Freedom Of The Seas- Cabins

[tatrtot45]

We're taking our honeymoon on Freedom in September. We originally had an inside room but I had seen the price for an outside room was the same price we paid for the inside. Only thing was it was a guarantee outside ( so they picked the location) we went from deck 8 to deck 2. Are outside rooms on deck 2 good? We've always been on higher decks so now I'm worried lol.

We've been on deck 2 before and had no issues. It was quiet, less motion, and easier to get off and on the ship at ports.

I liked the ocean view cabins on level 2. We often saw dolphins because we were close to the water. I think you made a super switch.

Yes, we call those cabins "living in the aquarium". :D

This wasn't on Freedom, but our first cruise was on Grandeur and we had an outside cabin on deck 2. We had no issues with it at all. Enjoy your free window :D

I had an OV on deck 2 of the Legend. It was a GREAT location. Never felt any motion and easy off at the ports. I'd book it again in a heartbeat. Enjoy!

I think the deck 2 choice would be good as well. Especially getting on and off at ports. The ONLY down fall i would see is that you are 9 decks to the pool and windjammer etc. Sometimes elevator wait time depending on time of day sucks. And climbing 9 flights of steps is rough.

Thanks so much for all the replies :-) This is for our honeymoon and hubby doesn't know I switched rooms lol So I wanted it to be a surprise haha.

Any room with a view has to be better than an inside room.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

I agree with JoeRum. I like insides because I sleep really good -- and late! We once had a cabin steward keep knocking on our door! We finally got up, but it's so dark in an inside that you just want to keep sleeping.

I agree. Any cabin with a view (regardless of deck) is better than one with no view.

 

But keep an eye out on prices. Depending on the price you paid, you might find that the price for balcony cabins may come down.

We just got off Freedom...we had a guaranteed OV on deck 2 all the way aft. I LOVED lying in bed and being *right there* on the water. It was exceptionally quiet except for the last morning.

I think you made a good choice! Also - if there are other rooms available in your new assigned category that you prefer more - you can usually switch.

[tatrtot45]

So I was on Royal and noticed that the balcony price came down. I upgraded us again the other day. For 7 days it was an extra 330 total for us. I think that was a good choice. I think hubby will be surprised and well if he's know I will be happy haha. It's my honeymoon too lmao.

That's great! Enjoy your balcony, and have a wonderful honeymoon.

What a great gift to yourself! You will definitely enjoy having private balcony space after all of the wedding chaos!
