Freedom of the Seas in 2025? See What's Changed! (Non-Smoking Casino)

Is the Freedom of the Seas still a great ship in 2025? We cruised in August and are showing you ALL the changes!

The biggest update: Vintages wine bar is gone and has been replaced by a new non-smoking casino! We'll take you inside. Join Matt (a retired Fire Chief) for a ship tour as we show you all the other 2025 updates, including the new blue hull paint, updated casino machines, and using WOW bands to open your stateroom door.

In this vlog, we'll give you a deck-by-deck look at the ship:
[00:16] Deck 14: A peek at the Suite Lounge (and its snacks!).
[00:44] Deck 13:The Sports Deck, including the Perfect Storm waterslides (Typhoon and Cyclone), the rock climbing wall, and the FlowRider.
[01:50] Deck 12:Splashaway Bay for kids and the 50's diner, Johnny Rockets. (Don't forget to ask for your Crown & Anchor milkshake discount! )
