parrothead34984 Posted November 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I have been on her 3 times and will be boarding for a 4th time in January in Ft. Lauderdale. The two ports are basically the same distance from us, but we really liked cruising from Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted November 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2016 We will miss her! Loved having our favorite ship in Port Canaveral. Looking forward to welcoming Oasis, but we will go down to Fort Lauderdale for a trip on Freedom next year. I remember seeing her on her maiden voyage in 2006. She has sailed the Caribbean from Florida since she was launched, hate to see her leave us for Europe next year. She will be missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mac_tlc Posted November 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Watching Ft Lauderdale web cam -- Freedom is still approaching, off the cost of Pompano. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzD123 Posted November 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I "kidnapped" my DH a few years ago and took him on his first ever cruise vacation (something he swore he would never do) to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We were on FOS sailing out of Port Canaveral and he had blast. Every ship and sailing since then has had to live up to the experience in one way or another. We can't wait to step back on board in Feb 2017 in her new Port Everglades home. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troykahack Posted November 5, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 5, 2016 She is cruising out of Port Canaveral on her way to Port Everglades.Will miss her. And Welcome to Oasis.

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 5, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 5, 2016 and welcome to oasis. What is the difference in number of cruisers oasis and freedom class? 1,800 - 2,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troykahack Posted November 5, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 5, 2016 1,800 - 2,000 So Oasis Class hold that many more?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 5, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 5, 2016 She is cruising out of Port Canaveral on her way to Port Everglades.Will miss her. Me too. I know many are very excited about Oasis coming here, and we already have two cruises booked aboard...but it is a hard price to pay losing Freedom. :( Will miss her dearly also. We also very much miss the sweet Enchantment being home ported here in PC. Majesty not a good trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 5, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 5, 2016 So Oasis Class hold that many more?? Oasis holds about 5400 guests double occupancy and 6400 max. Freedom holds about 3800 guests double occupancy and 4500 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted November 5, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Freedom was our favorite ship. We will surely miss her!! We have a cruise booked on the Oasis for March, which I am sure we will love. But the Freedom was always like "coming home". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkrosesdeb Posted November 5, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 5, 2016 We really missed Mariner when she left Pt Canaveral but quickly fell in love with Freedom. We will be on her for the 3rd time in January but this time out of Pt Everglades. Both ports are about the same distance from us also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandom Posted November 5, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Had a blast on the final sailing from PC. Someone in our group got a picture of one of the cakes they set out the last day. In true international fashion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted November 5, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 5, 2016 We are booked on on a b2b on the Freedom in April of 2018 and she will be our 2nd Liberty Class ship we will have sailed. Our first was on the LOS 5 yrs ago. Can't wait to sail on the FOS.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 6, 2016 #20 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Freedom is the lead ship of the Freedom Class Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Remember when she first came out John? She was originally home ported in Ft. Lauderdale. My sister, Bucky and I went down there to cruise on board for my sister's 50th birthday. Big news coverage of the biggest cruise ship in the world! Was excited when they later home ported her here in Port Canaveral. She sure has been here the longest time, and was really her home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got us spoiled right away! ;) And was happy we joined C&A right away starting with that cruise. :D Edited November 6, 2016 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not impressive. Laura did a B3B and I met her for the last leg. Pretty much all Royal since then.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Mmm...not impressive when it was newer...wonder what Empress is like now? :eek: We enjoyed our cruises on Monarch (though it was the crew, not the ship we loved), but now we are not interested in Majesty or Empress. We like the smaller ships, but would miss the CL/DL and the extra features of at least a Vision class. 3/4 night cruises are just too short for us anyway. We have been loyal to Royal for years now. Strayed once since Mariner, but just to do HAL Alaska Oosterdam. Now that was a ship we did not like at all. Not kept up, not impressed. Went back to Royal and stayed. We would really like to do Celebrity, but it is just not as convenient....right now anyway. Edited November 6, 2016 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
