Royal Caribbean's highly-anticipated Freedom of the Seas is not your typical cruise ship. She features 15 passenger decks, an onboard surf park, cantilevered whirlpools suspended 112 feet above the ocean, a full-size boxing ring, ice skating rink, teeth-whitening and massage services, rock climbing wall, wave pool and 14-person family suite.
At 160,000 tons, she'll carry more than 4,000 passengers when she begins her seven-night Western Caribbean itineraries from Miami this week.
