1. Team Up for a Glow-In-The-Dark Laser Tag Faceoff

During its Amplification, Freedom of the Seas got the newest laser tag quest, Clash for the Crystal City. If you’re up for a round of fast-paced, glow-in-the-dark fun, you’ll love this top-rated attraction. Players are asked to choose a side — either Snowshifters or Yetis — and go head to head on a glow-in-the-dark laser tag course. The mission? Claim a mythical ice city and save your team from extinction. The experience is family-friendly and completely out of this world.

2. Let The Kids Soak Up the Fun at Splashaway Bay

Freedom of the Seas is home to Splashaway Bay, a thrill-filled aqua park that little ones can enjoy at no extra cost. They’ll have gallons of fun splashing around the interactive water cannons, fountains, water slides and whirlpools. There’s even a drench bucket that provides the perfect photo opportunity when it tips over, so parents — keep your cameras ready!

3. Put Your Best Board Forward on the FlowRider

As far as top deck attractions go, the FlowRider is a classic onboard. An iconic feature on Freedom of the Seas, this fan-favorite 40-foot-long surf simulator lets you tame waves all day while your friends and family cheer you on from the sidelines. Try coasting over 30,000 gallons of rushing water on your feet like a pro, or skim the surf boogie-style on your belly. You can ride as many times as you like, too.

4. Take a Plunge Down the Perfect Storm Water Slides

Love to feel your adrenaline rushing? You should definitely add The Perfect Storm to your list of must-try top deck attractions on board Freedom of the Seas. These dueling high-speed water slides will send you on a twisting, turning thrill ride down three stories and into a pool below. The Perfect Storm is the ultimate way to earn bragging rights on board.

5. Savor The Perfect Slice at Sorrento’s Pizza

One of the most-loved restaurants on board Freedom of the Seas is also one of the most convenient. Sorrento’s Pizza doesn’t just serve up complimentary grab-and-go goodness by the slice — it’s also open late, which means you can satisfy your pizza cravings any time of the day or night. You can’t go wrong with classic cheese or pepperoni pizza here, but if you’re looking to change things up, try a slice of the meat-loaded Carnivore or the pineapple- and BBQ-infused Caribbean Dream.

6. Enjoy Crazy Good Mexican Fare at El Loco Fresh

A popular dining option on Freedom of the Seas is El Loco Fresh — a fast-casual spot that serves up authentic Mexican eats like tasty tacos, cheesy quesadillas and more. Come in the morning for a flavorful breakfast burrito, stop in for some homemade guacamole and crispy tortilla chips at lunch or drop by for dinner, followed by a decadent Mexican flan or a creamy tres leches.

7. Taste Your Way Around the World at Windjammer or the Main Dining Room

Every ship in the fleet has a Windjammer and a Main Dining Room — including Freedom of the Seas. If you’re looking for a laid-back dining option, head to Windjammer.  If a more elevated atmosphere is what you’re after, head to the sweeping, multi-level Main Dining Room, where you’ll enjoy course after course of international delicacies — like savory French onion soup, tender lamb chops and hearty beef stroganoff.

8. End The Night With a Show-Stopping Performance

Royal Caribbean wins awards for its onboard entertainment — and Freedom of the Seas shows will captivate you. Head to the ice skating rink for funky beats and mesmerizing aerial feats in the show, FreedomICE.com. Or revisit all your favorite childhood fairytales in the original theater production, Once Upon A Time: The King’s Royal Ball. From musicals to stunt-driven spectaculars, every show on board is free for all guests to enjoy, and you won’t want to miss out.

Explore All Freedom of the Seas Amenities

If you’re looking to make your cruise vacation on board Freedom of the Seas as close to all-inclusive as possible, consider purchasing a Beverage Package and a Specialty Dining Package. These options allow you to enjoy unlimited soft drinks and alcoholic beverages while on board — plus visits to some of the ship’s top specialty restaurants — at no additional charge beyond the cost of the packages themselves. That said, even if you don’t choose to upgrade, Freedom of the Seas things to do will keep you busy.

With Royal Caribbean cruises, every journey is just as amazing as the destination.
