  • I'm back with a brand new series for Best & Worst Staterooms on ‪@RoyalCaribbean‬ Ships. This week I will be covering the Freedom Class and starting with, of course, the Freedom of the Seas.
    If you are an experienced RCCL cruiser, these videos are probably not for you. These videos are grared towards cruise novices or those new to Royal Caribbean.
    These videos are long and not intended to be watched in their entirety. Feel free to skip to the section you are interested in using the Chapters below.
    As I mention in the video, check out ‪@RoyalCaribbeanBlog‬ for all information about Royal Caribbean. I used CruiseStateroom.com for the deck plans.

    How are rooms where the door is directly facing out to the elevator lobbies? Is it loud, or do they have closing doors to the hallways at night? I just got upgraded to this balcony one but worried now I won't be able to sleep

    • @ShannonFord
      @ShannonFord  Před 2 lety

      Not loud at all. It’s not like a hotel. There’s a good separation between the hallway and elevators. Being by the elevators is one of the most desirable locations

    Deck 7 also has Category CI (interior connecting) stateroom.

    • @ShannonFord
      @ShannonFord  Před 2 lety

      There are connecting staterooms that are not categorized as such. I only went over the ones that have that distinction like CI, CP or CB. Otherwise the video would be 4 hours long.

    Informative video, but it looks like the web site you mentioned is charging for membership now, $8.99 a year to see actual room photos.

    • @ShannonFord
      @ShannonFord  Před rokem

      I believe they always have. I've had it for years and I do the 3 year option. A website like that isn't easy to maintain and I think the fee is reasonable. For me, it's a small price to pay to not have to go searching for pictures myself. But if you don't want to pay, you still have access to the deck plans.

    What about noise being in the Jr. Suite right near the elevator?

    • @ShannonFord
      @ShannonFord  Před rokem +1

      Being near the elevators is a good thing. Noise is rarely an issue. They are situated in a way that it doesn’t make a difference. It’s not like a hotel

    • @JoeBoone82
      @JoeBoone82 Před rokem

      @@ShannonFord ok, just curious. I figured the volume of people waiting or congregating, and potentially the staircases, could create some noise.

      We only sailed on 1 cruise when my son was a baby and it was for his first birthday. We chose to wait until he was older to sail again for a variety of reasons. So I don’t have much experience.

    There’s no “floors” on ships. There’s only decks.
