Freedom-- Is there more public space per person than smaller?

[kpgclark]

I'll be sailing the Freedom and I was just wondering about the large number of passengers in relation to the size of pools and other public spaces. Are the pools proportionally larger than on smaller ships? Do you think the ship will feel crowded? Is there usually a wait for rock climbing walls and mini golf? TIA

Good questions - I would think with the water park area that there should be enough room for everyone at the pools - I cruise the maiden so I'll soon find out. It's a lot larger ship so it should definitely feel like more public spaces.

I don't know about public space but here is a breakdown of space per passenger for some of the ships.

 

Freedom 160,000 GT = 16,000,000 cu ft/3634 px = 4402 cu ft/px

 

Voyager 134,000 GT = 13,400,000 cu ft/3114 px = 4431 cu ft/px

 

Jewel 90,090 GT = 9,009,000 cu ft/2501 px = 3602 cu ft/px

 

Legend 70,000 GT = 7,000,000 cu ft/2076 = 3371 cu ft/px

 

The larger ships have more space per passenger, unfortunately we don't know the ratio of public space to total space. One might assume that with more space per passenger there is more public space.

Thanks. I just wonder if the ship is going to feel crowded. For example I wonder if there will be long lines for the flowrider, mini golf etc. and I wonder if they will have enough chairs around the pool. I think the water park is nice but I'm not sure that there will be that many young children on board to use it. Anyone know what age range the water park is geared towards?
