What are the differences between the royal carribean adventure of the seas and freedom of the sea?
We have the choice to go on one of those boats. I want some one advice who has been on both and please state the differences between them. Also, how is the cococay island because the Freedom only stops there but the adventure has a better itinerary. Thanks in advance!!!
I have cruised on both the Adventure and the Freedom and the major difference is the Freedom is much larger. Both have a pedestrian mall down the center, both have the same general layout as far as restaurants and lounges; both have free ice skating and a free ice show on deck 3, both have the basketball court and mini-golf on deck 13. The Adventure has an in-line roller staking track but the Freedom does not. But the Freedom has the surfing simulator, called the "florider" on the back of the ship. The Freedom has a much larger gymnasium, a couple of huge adults only hot tubs in the "solarium" (covered pool and hot tub area), and then the Freedom has a kids water park called the H2O Zone.
Royal Caribbean actually has two private islands, CocoCay in the Bahamas and Labidee, Haite. I have been to both and I can tell you that Labadee is much better. Its a huge island (actually a peninsula) that is NOT in direct contact with the rest of Haite. It has multiple beaches and a tram to help you get around. It has a water park called Arawok, a zip line (fee for this) and you can go kiacking/canoeing, parasailing, jet ski, and a bunch of other beach activities there. There is also a huge market area where you can buy any type souvenirs.
The Adventure was departing from San Juan and does the Southern Caribbean to Aruba, Caracao, St Thomas and Tortola. That cruise offers a couple of "at sea" days so you don’t get so tired getting off the ship every day. The Freedom was in Miami but has now been moved to Port Canaveral to replace the Mariner of the Seas which moved to LA. I’m not sure what itineraries it runs other than the Eastern Caribbean. If you want a Western Caribbean on RC then try the Liberty of the Seas which departs from Ft Lauderdale. Its the same ship as the Freedom and you get to stop at Labadee.
You can look at the features of both ships on this RC web link: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/home.do;jsessionid=00003KPcZg_jLAgGetFFYtnwmoa:12hdhu6tq?cS=NAVBAR
Just click on the "virtual tour" link on that page.
Adventure of the Seas is part of the Voyager class ships while Freedom of the Seas is part of the Freedom class. Both ships have an ice skating rink and mini golf course. Freedom of the Seas is a bigger ship ( biggest ship in the world so far ) and it also has the Flo Rider where you can surf in the middle of the ocean!
CocoCay is a pretty good island. I actually went there last April and it was amazing. Royal Caribbean owns the island and you can relax or jetski or snorkel! it’s a very relaxing day.
In my opinion, i would just go on the cruise where you like the itenery. Even though Freedom is a better ship, the Adventure of the Seas is not bad. You will never get bored on both ships.
=D hoped i helped!
