Cruise ship news
I don't know why I keep writing about Freedom of the Seas, but she's in the news again with some interesting comparisons regarding size:
Four times heavier than the Titanic and with decks big enough for 25 football pitches.But that's not my favorite quote. My favorite quote is from a Swede, "It's really very good, even if it's a bit American, for better or for worse." They say Freedom of the Seas is reminiscent of Las Vegas.
Another article I came across sheds some light on the Star Princess cruise ship fire. It mentions that the decks are vulnerable to fire and often have no sprinkler systems.

More information on the steering? That is what makes these different today.

Do you have any advice for taking a holiday cruise at Christmas time? I have been looking into it and the price doubles if we leave on Dec 23-24. We would like to take our grown children and spouses on a Western Caribbean cruise.
