Freedom of the Seas

Royal Caribbean's newest boat has just arrived in the port of Miami. It is the largest passenger cruise ship in the world. I drove by it this morning and the size of the ship was enough to stop traffic.
These pictures can't even do it justice. The boat has a rock climbing wall, an ice skating rink, an interactive water playground and a surf park (that's a pool that you can surf in and simulates 10-foot ocean waves moving at 20 miles per hour!). And the boat feels like the size of a high rise building (width and length).

It can hold over 4000 passengers and starts its regular route on June 4th, where it will do a round trip Miami cruise and stop in Mexico, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Haiti.
