I still have plenty more photos to share with you guys. This essay will be focused on the actual ship. They claimed that this was the biggest ship in the world. It was the Freedom of the Seas by Royal Caribbean. There were over 4000 guests on board plus crew. They are coming out with an even bigger one in December that will hold over 6000 people. It was a huge ship, but there still wasn't enough room for everyone. It was almost too big for us. Let me show you a comparison:
This first ship was leaving at the same time as us, but was definitely a smaller ship. Here's a picture of it:
Here's a couple of views of our ship:
Can you tell the difference? Here's a view of the centrum area. The ship had many decks. This is what it's like to look up:
Here's a sculpture that they had on the main drag in the middle of the ship:
It's a mermaid type woman. They also had art all over the place. Here's a piece my husband and I thought was neat:
I hope you enjoyed seeing how massive this ship is. There will be more to come later on the food, things to do, and towel art. I hope you've viewed my other essays about the cruise as well.

Gorgeous Cruise ship. Someday I'd like to go on a real cruise
You should. It's a fun experience.
Very cool pictures!
great pics :) hope you had a good time
We did. Thanks.
Cool photos so far. I am getting really excited that my family and I are going on a Disney cruise to the Bahamas this summer. I have never been on a cruise and am super excited!
I really hope you enjoy it!
That looks so fun. I want to go on a cruise.
It's definitely an experience.
Beautiful!:)
Wow, what a huge ship! That artwork was pretty cool too. Can't wait to see more pictures!
I love cruises. I have been on Royal Caribbean before ans I think their service is better compared to Carnival. Of course the food on Carnival was better
We see it frequently here in the Puget Sound. Usually dwarfs everything else.
No wonder they call them Cities at Sea.
Beautiful ship, you must have had an awesome time!
Nice ship, and you took some great pic's
Beautiful Photo Essay!

Holy Macaroni!!! That's a one beeeeg boat!!! I can't imagine being on it, much less be the driver.
Very cool. It's like a floating city. PIF
Wow...that looks like a real blast!!! What fun!
these are nice pic
I truly want to go on a cruise!!
nice looking ship. I want to go on a cruise someday.
Wow. What a great essay.
sounds nice. Unfortunately, for some reason I cannot see any pics or vids on Gather right now?? Weird...it was working 15 min. ago
The ship is massive. Cool photos!
each pic you post is making me even more excited for August
An interesting photo essay!
I have never seen a cruise ship. that is amazing
A cruise is the only way to vacation. I've been on a dozen of them and I absolutely love it. It's also the least expensive vacation you can take.
For around $700 for a ten day cruise, yoiu get a room comparable to any fine motel and all of the food you can eat, 24/7. Add that you will be visiting places you've never been. I can't recommend a cruise more to everyone.
We have talked about going on a cruise before. Did you have to dress fancy for dinner? What a neat ship. I really liked your photos.
Thank you for the lovely comment about losing Chipper.
Wow that looks so fun!
These are fabulous photos. I'm glad you had a great time. I have been on a few cruises, and love them.
Wow, what a magnificent ship! It looks huge! We went on a cruise several years ago, and I'm saving up $$$ now for a cruise for us next year....have decided that we've just got to travel more!
Thanks! Sorry for the generic comment but I'm wading through over 500 e-mails.
WOW LOOKS LIKE A GREAT SHIP TO BE ON
HOPE YOU HAD FUN
