We Booked a CHEAP 4 Day Caribbean Cruise! Bad Idea?

We Booked a CHEAP 4 Day Caribbean Cruise! Bad Idea?

56,798 View

We took a short 4 day cruise on one of Royal Caribbean's oldest cruise ship. Being honest, it was pretty cheap & I wasn't sure if we got a great deal or if we'd made a huge mistake! Would our Freedom of the Seas Caribbean cruise be disappointing, especially when comparing to vacations on newer ships?

Short cruises have a reputation as party & booze cruises, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, to my surprise, this 4 day Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas had a lot to offer. In fact, we met many first time cruisers onboard who were loving it.

That said, in this Freedom of the Seas review, I share the pros & cons of this cruise ship, from cabins, to food, to entertainment and more. We also look at the cruise ports of call, Nassau, Bahamas & Perfect Day at CocoCay.

If you're considering a cruise on Royal Caribbean's older ships, this Freedom of the Seas cruise vlog is a must-watch. If you're trying to save money by going on a budget cruise, this video is full of tips.
