Nickelodeon Family Cruise on Freedom of the Seas
We wrote about Freedom of the Seas a while back and now there is a special cruise on this same ship. The Nickelodeon Family Cruise has famous guests like Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants.
This article calls it the largest cruise ship, although I thought Liberty of the Seas was bigger. After I read the article I thought the author simply named the wrong ship - surely she is describing Liberty of the Seas:
Look for your young daredevils at the FlowRider surfing simulator or scaling the line's largest rock-climbing wall with 10 routes. Younger kids should be splashing in the H2O Zone water park with interactive fountains, ground geysers and a cascading waterfall.I was wrong. A little research revealed that all 3 Freedom class ships from Royal Caribbean have these attractions. And Freedom is the biggest - Liberty is the newest.Other kid-pleasing amenities aboard include an ice-skating rink, nine-hole mini-golf course, full-size basketball court, Johnny Rockets for burgers and Ben & Jerry's for cold treats.
The article also mentions a few other cruises ships. Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Imagination, and Carnival Fantasy have been or soon will be upgraded.

Just a note - both the Freedom and the Liberty are sister ships, and are identical builds as to space and capacity - just the decor differs!
