World's Biggest Cruise Ship

Last Saturday was quite an exciting day as Nigel and I were spending the night on the Freedom of the Seas, the world's biggest cruise ship.

So apart from a hose splitting on nigel's car, luckily just around the corner from our house, we set off and arrived in good time to board.

Oh My God it was huge, I begin to describe just how big it was. I'm sure we didn't see anywhere near all there was on board. Golf courses, ice rink, climbing walls, surfing machine, tennis courts, casino, theatre of course the obligatory swimming pools, bars, shops and restaurants.

It was truly fantastic, we had a lovely cabin with a balcony and once we checked in we unpacked and went exploring, starting at the top on the 14th floor which was a bar.

A few cocktails later, we wandered around the ship stopping occasionally for a drink at various bars before going back to our cabin to get changed for dinner.



The food was superb and after dinner there was a fantastic fireworks display that must have cost a small fortune.


We sat in the Schooner bar for the rest of the night being entertained by a mad Chinese bloke, who was really funny and made us laugh like drains for about 2 hours.

Finally at around 2am we went to bed, sadly we had to be up and off the ship by 9am, which was a trifle early for me but we did make it on time and made our way home.

If you can afford it, the Freedom of the Seas is an incredible ship and has so many amenities you will never be bored!
