MnAsMom Posted January 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Is there any benefit to sailing on any of the freedom class ships over another? I guess more particularly to families with younger children? Kids are 5 and 8 (or 9 depending on the date of sailing). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 16, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2010 They're pretty much identical, except for the decor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBookHePays Posted January 16, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2010 They're all the same ship, with the same amenities, but of course the itinerary is different. I think with kids of those ages, all you'll need is the aqua zone, and everyone will be happy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpus Posted January 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I have read here on CC that the pools on Indy are heated while Freedom & Liberty pools are not. This was done since Indy will be sailing part-time out of England and sails in some cooler climates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted January 16, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The decor is the major (minor) difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted January 16, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The one big difference is that the INDY is the newest freedom class ship !! And will be leaving soon to be home ported in England..We will miss her 8 night itinerary in the Eastern Caribbean out of FLL....:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You are not going to be able to observe or care about any differences, since you haven't been on any of them. :) They all have the same amenities, but RC did learn a few things after Freedom's launch and before Liberty was finished. These are not things that you would notice: a few things were relocated on the Royal Promenade, and the Diamond Lounge has different outside access, for example. Other posters have mentioned the heated pools on the Independence. They are all beautiful ships, and you can book any of them with confidence that your children will LOVE their cruise. Book by the convenience of departure port, itinerary and price. (Liberty sails out of Miami; Freedom out of Port Canaveral) Independence is here, now, sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, but leaves for Europe in the spring.
