crusingici Posted December 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I did not see a thread posted on this -- I taped and watched "Samantha Brown" take a cruise on Freedom of the Seas from Miami -- great oveview of the ship and ports. That ship really IS amazing -like a city! Thought some of you might be interested in checking out when the show is on in your area. For my location there is one showing each day Dec 23, 24, 25 on The Travel Channel. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted December 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The Freedom is back on tonight at 6:00 on the Travel Channel and then again at 10:00 tomorrow night. It will also be on three hours later at 1:00 AM. RCI is getting their mileage out of this one in a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoronaCpl Posted December 23, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Actually, there is a thread on this show. You can chime in there too...:) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=456187 Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusingici Posted December 23, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Thanks for the link, Corona. That IS quite a chatty thread on the topic! Guess my search words were not definitive enough to pull it up. I personally thought it was a great infomercial for the ship and activities at the ports -- but then I like Samantha -- I find her "fresh" and "fun".....but who wouldn't be with VIP treatment of no lines - no folks on deck and private excursions! Funny how all the "local" folks knew her by name as she walked up to them......:D Anyway - back to the point of the original post -- it's a good intro for newbies and a good reminder to those who've been there, done that. and again - thanks for the link -- I enjoyed reading thru the comments.

Rare Hlitner Posted December 23, 2006 #5 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Yeah, they are sure getting a lot of milage out of this new ship. Rumors say it might soon be renamed Noro of the Seas. :) Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wblynch Posted December 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Too Big. Not a ship anymore. Just a big blob on the seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted December 25, 2006 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Actually when you see the ship in person it definitely looks like a ship, bigger perhaps than some, but it still has the lines and appearance of a cruise ship and once you are onboard you get a great cruise experience. Even with its size and increased passenger capacity, we never felt crowded, perhaps because there are so many things going on at the same time that the passengers are well dispersed throughout the ship. I prefer the size and style of Radiance class ships, but no one would ever consider them "small" except in comparison to Voyager or Freedom class ships. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latvish Posted December 25, 2006 #8 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I thought Freedom was an island with engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
