Freedom of the Seas Ocean View Balcony 1878 Room Tour! | Royal Caribbean

[@EdwardTravels]

I always like seeing the stateroom tours as each ship is different and unique Looks like a great room

[@FraserAtSea]

I totally agree - even the same ‘type of room’ on one ship can be different!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

It's really true! One reason why the stateroom tours are so important.

[@brenttuckertravel3859]

Hey Brandon, great video thanks for sharing. It looks like a wonderful cabin in a quiet location. I like that you mentioned the sofa opens into a double bed for families. It is great that you think of others needs aswell in your videos. Enjoy your next cruise.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

My pleasure Brent! I am actually staying in an Ocean View Panoramic Suite this cruise and will feature it soon. It would be AMAZING for families.

[@brenttuckertravel3859]

@@TheWeekendCruiser Cannot wait to see it, I have never stayed in a Suite before. Our next Cruise we booked a Junior Suite, however, we just got notified we won our Royal Up bid on the 1 Bedroom Aquatheater Suite. It will be our first time staying in a Suite.

[@josephfaires9417]

First cruise coming up and I've booked this stateroom. So happy to see a review on it!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Woot! You will love it!

[@Edgetravelguy]

Enjoyed the tour. Have a great weekend cruise!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thanks Tom!

[@richardortiz4052]

We're staying in this cabin next weekend. Super excited! Thanks for the tour!

[@darploin5071]

Also when you leave your room it might be good to bolt the sliding glass door you never know if you got someone who's gonna try to climb over the divider on the balcony and get into your cabin to see if there's anything the steel

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

That is very true! Had not thought about that one but I can assure anyone, whatever in my rooms is not valuable enough to risk doing that lol

[@cruisingforone]

A nice one indeed.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Yes! I have become a huge fan of deck 12.

[@cruisingforone]

@@TheWeekendCruiser 6407 was my home on Freedom for several cruises.

[@judis4900]

Very nice room! The decor and colour scheme is very current. thanks for showing.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Yes! Makes it feel like one of the bigger and newer ships!

[@markroulette3419]

Thanks for the video tour. I’ve sailed on the Freedom, and the one thing missing that for me is important is no outlet by the bed. As a CPAP user at night, I had to run an extension cord around the room. Not that safe if you get up at night.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

That is very true and probably because of her age of 19 years. Glad on many of the new builds they have corrected this!

[@markmay2328]

We have this cabin as our 1st b2b next year. Thanks for the highlights!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

You are going to love it!! Great choice!

[@darploin5071]

It's good that the balcony above you juts out a bit so if it's missing outside you can still use your balcony because it should shelter you from any of

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Yes!

[@davidbourbon3110]

I just booked the Navigator of the Seas for 12-30 and this was the first time they offered Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in both of our rooms free of charge...

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Very nice!

[@dandofando]

You are so fit and trim! I would love to know what mixers and elixers you use...

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

hahah thank you! On the shelf we have fiber, whey protein, creatine, and a post-workout BAA supplement.

[@idchance2699]

Thanks for the tour. It's been many years since I sailed on a Freedom class ship. I like the updated design, especially the shelving in the bathroom. I've found the bathroom storage on all the classes of ship I've been on (Voyager, Freedom, Oasis, Quantum) to be insufficient.

[@FraserAtSea]

Insufficient bathroom storage is my absolute pet hate - I really struggled on Virgin this year (and I don’t pack heavy with toiletries!)

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Keep in mind, there are only a few staterooms like this on Freedom. Most are not updated :-(. Yes, I love good bathroom storage AND counter space.

[@dianeschroeder3980]

Hi Brandon, I’ve been on freedom many times but I did not know that they have started updating their rooms. Nice review. Enjoying your channel!❤️⚓️🛳

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Hey Diane! It actually isn't an "upgraded" room as much as it is a "reclaimed" room. On deck's 11 and 12, you will find staterooms that used to be part of a larger Vitality Spa & Fitness center. The downsized those and built out brand new staterooms on the ship with the newer finishings. Look forward to hopefully meeting you on your next Freedom sailing!

[@dianeschroeder3980]

@@TheWeekendCruiser ahh that’s why the room looks enormous compared to other junior suites. They borrowed part of the spa to put add those rooms. They’ll always figure out a way to make extra money! They did the same thing to Oasis when they added in Coastal Kitchen and the suites on Deck 17. Best move ever imo.

[@darploin5071]

I do like the frame they put around that picture silver is not usually a color you see for that kind of use

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

It looked good!

[@FraserAtSea]

Looks like a beautiful cabin, but I do find it odd that they don’t give you an individual reading light - strange!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

New isn't always better lol

[@iluvutube4886]

I saw you had life vests in your room. I was on Harmony of the Seas 2 weeks ago and there were no life vests in the rooms! We would have to go to where our muster drill was. I found that strange and dangerous. I was very surprised.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

That would be very odd not to have those. I know there are plenty at the muster station but I would have thought every room was supposed to have them? Did you inquire with the stateroom attendant? Maybe the prior guest stole them? 😂

[@iluvutube4886]

@@TheWeekendCruiser Actually I was told that at my muster station. I sailed with 1 other cruise line in the past and they had them in the closet in the room. This was first R.C. cruise. I can't imagine thousands of people running around that enormous ship in an emergency trying to get life vests! What a stampede that will be! I think I lost a few pounds with all that walking I did on that ship! I just thought, well, God forbid there's an emergency, I hope I'm close to my muster station!😬🤭

[@kaywhyem]

Is there a lot of motion this high and front of the ship for this room?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

If the waves are rocking, it will be more noticeable in the front and rear of the ship. However, I have only noticed this on 3 of my 150 sailings and some where to areas that we knew it would be an issue. Most cruises you will never feel the boat move an inch.

[@darploin5071]

Is the counter in the bathroom Korean? Have a great weekend cruise

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

That I do not know...

[@darploin5071]

Also see the carnival mardi gras across the harbor

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

I don't think that was the Mardi Gras... I could be mistaken as Carnival is not my fortee but she is a new and big girl.

[@darploin5071]

I want I wonder if the bathroom door can be mounted the other way so it swings the other way towards the switch

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

I see no reason why it couldn't? I am in another room on deck 12 this weekend and the door is mounted the same way as this one.

[@darploin5071]

It's probably meant to keep pirates from climbing up the side of the ship and onto the balconies or for what I said if somebody tries to climb over the divider and break into the cabin

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Could be? I have never done a pirate drill before but could be intersting.

[@Brickman1000]

All Florida people travel with a Publix bag. It’s just a thing.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

hahaha Interestingly, this one is not a publix bag but is def publix colors as I have many of those at home. Love a good publix sub!

[@campusx4195]

Security cam on balcony??? Hmmm....they might see some activity they dont wanna see 😂😂

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

hahah, you never know!

[@darploin5071]

Aren't you a pinnacle member and if so that's why you have the champagne up there shit you're almost Royal Caribbean aristocracy

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Hey Dar, I am a pinnacle member. I think this was a welcome gift from the casino? My C&A Benefits I have set to the Fruit Truffles which are amazing.
