Experience our incredible embarkation day on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. This unique journey actually begins aboard Wonder of the Seas, as we explain the logistics and process of completing a side-by-side cruise. Moving between these two magnificent ships is a seamless adventure that starts at the stunning Terminal AA in PortMiami. We walk you through exactly what to expect when switching ships in Miami, from handling your luggage to navigating the check-in process at one of the world’s most modern cruise terminals. Once we step foot on Freedom of the Seas, we dive straight into the essential embarkation day to-do list, including completing the mandatory muster drill and heading to the main dining desk to secure our dinner reservations for the week. After fueling up with a classic embarkation day lunch at the Windjammer marketplace, we set out to explore everything this amplified ship has to offer. We take you on a tour of the Vitality Spa and Fitness Center, as well as the redesigned Adventure Ocean kids clubs, which are perfect for families cruising with children. You will get a full look at our stateroom accommodations before we head up to the pool deck to experience the high-energy Sailaway party as we leave the Miami skyline behind. Throughout the day, we share our best travel tips on how to make your embarkation day a success, providing an in-depth discussion on whether the Royal Caribbean drink packages and specialty dining packages are worth the investment for your vacation. The excitement continues into the evening as we highlight the onboard entertainment and nightlife that makes Freedom of the Seas a top choice for cruisers. We attend the Welcome Aboard show and enjoy a sit-down dinner in the Main Dining Room, where we review the latest menu offerings. To cap off an amazing first day, we grab some cocktails and head to the Olive or Twist lounge for the fan-favorite silent party, dancing the night away with our wireless headphones. Whether you are curious about the shows on board or just want to see what a day in the life of a cruiser looks like, this vlog covers all the best things to do on your first day at sea. #FreedomoftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #Cruise #CruiseVacation #CruiseTravel #TravelCouple #CruiseShip #EmbarkationDay #RoyalCaribbeanCruise #CruiseTips #CruiseVlog We took a 5-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas in October of 2025.
