We booked cruise parking through premier parking but when we got to the lot and paid in advance we found out after waiting that parking company went out of business We had to scramble and find new parking for cruise duration last minute :( I had to dispute charges and get new credit card as well

We actually prefer the smaller ships like "Star" and "Spirit" as less people means no lines or waiting. This is particularly true if your cruise has many ports.

We went on Freedom last May and had a great time. In 2014 we cruised on Carnival Liberty and enjoyed it too. Cruising is the best.

I love Freedom of the Seas. That said, we are going on the Norwegian Star in a few days so hopefully you are just hard to please.

Big ships really better but be prepared to wait in lines everywhere and be around kids everywhere
