Are you really sure you want to? Be careful for what you ask.........
Throw caution to the wind! Let it all hang out! Birds of a feather flock together! The family that cruises together boozes together! (I just made that up!) LOL!

The itineraries are basically the same, but on the Freedom of the Seas you get an extra hour in the afternoon at Labadee.
Also, Liberty is Sat-Sat, while Freedom is Sun-Sun. (This could make a difference to people who want to fly in a day early. Sailing out of Miami would be mean coming in on Friday and potentially an extra vacation day.)
The ships have the same deck plans, in case that hasn't been pointed out.
These ships have the cantilevered jacuzzis, the water parks and the flowriders - pools where you can actually surf. The spas have boxing rings!
This is in addition to the features from the Voyager ships which include the mini-golf courses, ice skating rinks and 2 specialty restaurants: Chops Steakhouse and Portofino for Italian food.
I believe Freedom of the Seas has hammocks and Liberty of the Seas has large porch gliders, but that could change by 2009. They are on the Promenade deck and are moveable.

I am so looking forward to this. There are so many people on this board that I've been chatting with for years and now I'll get to meet them. Of course, they may run screaming in the opposite direction when they see me.
Cruising is life at it's best!

Yes, I boted for Port Carnival. If you have ever been out of the port of Miami, It is a nightmare!!! I hate Miami, The port is hard to find if you don't knwo were to turn, you will end up on Miami Beach.
Also, Port Carnival is closer to Orlando and all the fun things to do there...Yeppee
We live closer to Carnival and I like the extra time in Labaladee. Lets go gang, vote for the Freedom
