Ship

Freedom of the Seas

Overview

The Amplified Freedom of the Seas is as wow-worthy as the destinations it sails to.

Top-rated coasts. Bow-to-stern boasts. The best of both worlds combine for an all-in-one adventure on the Amplified Freedom of the Seas. Wherever you choose to wander, you’ll find plenty of unparalleled thrills onboard in between adventures ashore. Like adrenaline-pumping slides and rides right on deck. A new pool scene designed to level up your time in the sun. And fresh, authentic flavors that will satisfy any craving.

Kids & Teens

Adventure Ocean

When the kids are happy, parents are happy. And our award-winning Adventure Ocean Youth Program is designed with that in mind. Tiny travelers ages 3-5 will have an education blast in the Aquanauts group. The Explorers program keeps 6-8 year olds entertained with activities like themed parties and more. And learning is a thrillfest for 9-11 year olds in the Voyagers group.

Babies and Tots Programs

Cruising with your baby was never easier. Our Royal Babies & Tots program offers nursery drop-off sessions filled with age-appropriate activities and toys. All programs are hosted by our trained youth staff.

Teen Spaces

As a teen, the best part of being onboard is having the freedom to choose how you spend your time between family time. Now, 13 to 17-year-olds get an exclusive new space that’s all their own. Just beyond the secret speakeasy entrance, there’s a gaming lounge where it’s always game on. Music to jam out or hang out to. Movies, and plenty of comfortable places to kick back with new friends. Plus an outdoor patio perfect for lounging beneath the sun or stars.

Laser Tag: Battle for the Crystal City

Eons in the future, Earth is an unforgiving place. The sun has burned out, casting the solar system into an endless winter night. Mankind long since evacuated and two lifeforms remain in the frozen wasteland - the Yetis, mountain beasts who evolved into highly intelligent beings. And the Snowshifters, mysterious creatures once able to assume any form. After millennia without light, both clans are on the brink of extinction. Unless one can claim a mythical ice city and its sustaining innerlight in the latest glow-in-the-dark laser tag faceoff: Clash for the Crystal City.

Splashaway Bay

Pint-sized cruisers will find gallons of fun at Splashaway Bay aqua park. This bigger, better water adventure features colorful waterslides, water cannons, fountains, pools and whirlpools for tots to tweens (and their supervising parents). And keep your eye on the drench bucket. You’ll want to be there when it tips!

Specialty Dining

Chef’s Table

Welcome to Chef’s Table, the most exclusive and elevated dining experience on our fleet. Join an intimate group of fellow foodies on a private epicurean journey led by the ship’s Chef de Cuisine. You’ll sit down to a white tablecloth dinner spotlighting five exquisite courses that range from scallop carpaccio with yuzu vinaigrette, to grilled filet mignon served with truffle potato puree - each expertly paired with the perfect wine to highlight every flavor on the menu.

Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen

Sunday supper is served every day at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen. The menu highlights Old-World classics, including veal meatballs in sauce like made in Romana, Pappardelle with rich radicchio cream or hand-tossed pizzas, delivered straight from the oven. And ask a sommelier on staff to suggest the perfect pairing from a wine list that ranges from Sangiovese to Super Tuscan.

Johnny Rockets

Johnny Rockets serves up burgers, shakes, fries and fun in a cool retro atmosphere. Since 1986, this diner’s focus is on all American fare including fresh, never frozen certified angus beef burgers, crispy fries, classic sandwiches and indulgent hand-spun shakes and malts. Join the fun onboard and relax into simply good times with good food to share.

Chops Grille

For more than a decade, the chefs of Chops Grille have proudly presented quality, hand cut steaks at this hallmark Royal Caribbean restaurant. Now, they give you a fresh twist on a favorite, with a revamped menu that brings contemporary flair to traditional steakhouse offerings. Most intriguing: our exceptional prime meat. This prime beef is joined by Maine lobster, grilled branzino and other succulent dishes paired with addictive sides and irresistible desserts.

Izumi Hibachi & Sushi

From fresh sushi to delicious teppanyaki prepared tableside, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi offers a dialed-up Asian-inspired dining experience. Savor a wide variety of hot and cold appetizers, entrees, and desserts - and watch each course come together as an expert chef works right at your table.

Spa and Fitness

Grab your bravest friend and challenge them to a test of speed. The ride of your life awaits on twin racers Typhoon and Cyclone - part of The Perfect Storm, the boldest waterslides at sea. As you speed through each white-knuckle twist and turn, long, translucent stretches offer sea views as exhilarating as the ride itself. These slides have everything it takes to keep even the most courageous daredevils’ adrenaline levels way, way up.

Solarium

Sorrento’s Pizza

There’s nothing more satisfying than a great slice of pizza - and Royal Caribbean has spent years perfecting the recipe at Sorrento’s.

Main Dining

In the Main Dining Room, you can experience flavors that take you from Jamaica to Jaipur, a rotating menu of delicious dishes always offering something unexpected.

Destination

Caribbean - Eastern

Sleeping under a palm tree, strolling on endless beaches and eating ice cream while floating in a turquoise sea. What could be further from your everyday world? When you sail the Caribbean you'll discover how relaxing, entertaining and just plain fun a week really can be. Visit a variety of beautiful islands and escape to paradise on your next vacation.

Ports of Call

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

City Fort Lauderdale

Originally a fort built by the U.S. Army in 1838 during the Second Seminole War, Fort Lauderdale welcomes visitors with broad, palm-fringed beaches and an easy pace of life. Stroll along fashionable Las Olas Boulevard with its stylish shops or enjoy a sightseeing cruise through the city''s canals, boasting more waterways than Venice. Or, venture out and explore the cosmopolitan city of Palm Beach, or the wildlife sanctuary of the Everglades.

Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos

City Grand Turk

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

City Charlotte Amalie

Charlotte Amalie is the Danish-flavored capital where it's fun to stroll and shop, especially if you're a U.S. citizen with double duty-free allowances. Hop a ferry to the nearby island of St. John, to snorkel or walk the nature trails, or head over to Magens Bay resort, listed as one of the world's most beautiful beaches.

Port of Basseterre, St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis

This fertile isle is a land of rain forests, tropical flowers, and abundant sugar cane. After a stroll around the charming colonial streets and shops of the capital, Basseterre, tour the island or visit Brimstone Hill Fort, an impressive construction that is one of the wonders of the Caribbean world.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Dutch St. Maarten is a great place to stop just to shop. Its capital is Philipsburg and fills a narrow stretch of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. It is a bustling center of international trade with lively shopping streets, cafes, and hotels. Strangely enough it has two main streets called Front Street and Back Street.

On Front Street, which is the main thoroughfare, duty-free shops line the road as far as the eye can see. These duty-free shops offer everything from Italian leather goods and Japanese cameras to native crafts. Don't be afraid to venture the alleyways that will lead you to arcades and courtyards filled with flowers.

The Courthouse is the most prominent landmark on Front Street. It is a grand white wooden structure topped with a cupola built in 1793. Front Street also includes the Simartin Museum so that visitors can get and excellent introduction to local St. Maartin history. There are also historical forts that are monuments to Philipsburg's strategic importance in St. Maarten's history.

Philipsburg has not been left behind in the time, however. It has combined its historical legacy with 20th century excitement. Since its waterfront has become a popular stop for cruise ships, the shore of this town is covered with restaurants, cafes and nightclubs that offer entertainment well into the night.
