» Freedom of the Seas Arrives
Ships Attending:
{Freedom of The Seas}
Date: {29/04/06}
Well getting up at 5.30 wasn't fun - but knowing you're about to greet
the world's largest cruiseship makes it all worthwhile! Boarding a small
vessel we awaited Freedom and eventually at about 6.45 slowly but
surely she came into view off Calshot spit. It was a breath-taking sight
as the huge vessel came towards us. I snapped away quite happily in the
chilly morning air and it was nice to see so many other people out on
the shores at Hythe and Mayflower park - good on you all!
Later
in the day I was lucky enough to get a tour of Freedom of the Seas and
see for myself the immense size and quality of the ship. Built quite
obviously for the American market there is little that Freedom can't
offer - you'd never ever be bored of that I'm sure!. I think my
favourite part on our whistle top tour would have to be the Royal
Promenade which was very grand and almost had a surreal feeling, a
definite street atmostphere even though it wasn't filled with real
holiday makers as yet.
If you get a chance, I highly recommend a look at Freedom of the Sea's, she's an awesome sight indeed!
