ripjerry95 Posted June 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2014 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)?

Clarea Posted June 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ships are virtually identical. Freedom has Dreamworks characters if you have kids. Otherwise pick based on itinerary/price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delirious9876 Posted June 8, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I find Freedom is much friendlier and more relaxed than Independence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send from device_name using Cruise Critic your_app_name App 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. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted June 8, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I find Freedom is much friendlier and more relaxed than Independence 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.
