Freedom of the Seas in Time magazine

[Sayyadina]

Just an FYI that the June 19 issue of Time has a 2-pager on RCI's Freedom of the Seas. It's a pretty good, short nutshell article and just confirms that you couldn't get me on this boat with a crowbar and some crisco. :D

Thank you very much for the heads up on this; it hadn't made the RCI board yet!

 

Below is a link to my comments on Freedom's maiden voyage, in case anyone is interested. We had a great time, but even I think the ship is a bit too big. I guess the good thing is we all have so many options when cruising.

LOL ... RCCL's new build for 2009 is gonna be 40% bigger than Freedom of the Seas and the project is called "Genesis?"

 

If a ship that huge is called Genesis ... then a sailing on a "quaint" HAL ship with only about 1,200 other passengers would have to be called "Rapture." :)

 

I'm with you. No way would I sail something this big.

 

Blue skies ...

I noticed the article yesterday and gave it a brief scan. Ugh, don't think I'd sail on a ship that large. Why a ship that size? Enough already!
