Question about cruises?!? About Royal Caribbean!?

1st of we have been on many cruises, all RC and loved them! We want to go on the freedom family ships next. Here are the questions:
1). Is the Freedom Family the largest cruise ships in the world??
2). When is the Independence of the Seas first voyage???

Thank you!!






Answer :
Yup, as of right now Freedom ships are the largest with 3,634 passengers. RCI's Genesis Project will be bigger at 6,400 passengers and launches Fall 3009.

Independence was delivered on the 17th, inaugural is on the 30th, and maiden voyage is May 2:

Answer :
Yes, the Freedom Class is the largest. It includes the Freedom, Liberty and Independence of the Seas.

My understanding is that the Independence sails its maiden voyage next month sometime, not sure of the exact date, but I'm sure the RC website has the date!

I just cruised on the Liberty of the Seas in March to the western caribbean for 7 nights and it was outstanding!!! So much to do and see and the service was incredible all the way around!!!






Answer :
Freedom class ships are the largest for now. Royal Caribbean is coming out with the new Genesis, which will be over 200,000 tons and carry 5400 passengers!!!

May 2 is the maiden voyage, which is ahead of schedule.






Answer :
YES FREEDOM OF THE SEAS IS THE LARGEST SHIP RIGHT NOW. BUT LARGEST DOESN'T NECESSARY MEAN BETTER.
