We love Freedom class ships. They're a nice compromise between the very largest and those that are smaller. The cantilevered spas in the Solarium are a very nice design change from the smaller but similar Voyager class ships, a change that makes the Solarium much more functional.

Cabin / Stateroom

We booked a Junior Suite because we wanted double cruise credits and the cost seems to be outstanding. It was. After we booked I saw balconies priced higher. I guess everything is timing. :-) Junior Suites purchased at the right prices are a very nice step up from a balcony cabin. This one was no exception to that rule. The additional cabin space, a HUGE walk-in closet, extra drawers, and a bath with a full size tub made this a very enjoyable cabin to have.

Ports of call

We purchased jewelry at Rocky's Diamond Gallery, a very short walk from the docks on Harbour Drive. The service there was fantastic and the price was excellent.
