Just hope the ship doesn't go down or else you will have a boat full of dead geeks. - Livewire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31Or Firefox before internet.

Royal Caribbean Inc frowns upon passengers jumping overboard while in the middle of the ocean if they want to take a dip. I think that's why they added the pool. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I can't look away from the Storm Trooper getting his freaky dance on..
- Barman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Absolutely Insane. I'm speechless.
- Verdanic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Or adblock before connecting.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22No pictures of the crew cabins! As a one time crewmember on various ships, I'm disappointed! You'd love to see the size of the shower.
- pu-z, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23*****! He stole some of my pictures from the first tour of the ship!
I photographed a bunch of pictures from the maiden tour a year ago. You can see them here:

Sue or just send the bill? Choices, choices... - TokenUser, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26In your attempt to be funny you actually made a correct statement.
The Voyager of the Seas at 311 metres long, and 48 metres wide WAS the world largest passenger ship, but it was outdone by the Queen Mary II at 345 m long (longer than three football fields) and 45 m wide at the bridge wings. The Voyager is 130,000-tonnes, and can carry 3,114 passengers, while the QM2 is 150,000 tons and carries 2600 passengers (in much bigger cabins, and with bigger amenitites). - Fosnez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19The Queen Mary 2 is longer, faster and taller...
But weights 5000 tons less... should she really be put down for being on a better diet?
Sure she carries half the people... but we don't really want the "common" people on the ship, do we? - purple, on 10/12/2007, -8/+26"Rose, we have to get off the ship, it's sinking!"
"One more round pretty boy!"

DiggArmy FTW - mr1337, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18She's unsinkable.
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Marx called, he's got another manifesto for you to read, comrade.
- wixfi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16haha I was on that ship on its first sail. That thing is ridiculous in size. It's like a hotel and mall put together inside.
- kweber103, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Yes i was on the Voyager of the Seas and they had the same studio, it's for the TV in the state rooms and at the end of the cruse they sell DVD's with Video of events that went on during the cruse. It is crazy what they have on the ship.
- thefat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Sound advertising, mute before clicking.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14They have a freakin TV studio in there?!

Also the coolest feature of the freedom is the wave rider.

- kettle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Anybody else notice that one of the pics towards the bottom appears to be a completely different ship?

"I want to see a size comparison between this and the titanic"
"She is about 229 ft. longer, about 108,000 gross tons larger, and can accommodate 2,147 more passengers than RMS Titanic."

Another cool fact: the protruding glass-walled hot tub (http://media.geekarmy.com/geekarmy/freedom_seas_004.jpg) which is on the 11th floor towards the front were originally going to be glass bottomed too... however they nixed it (rumors included: significant increase in insurance cost, to expensive/impossible to do because of the weight of the water, etc.) - laplacian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11@tokenuser
This isnt the Voyager of the Seas, it's the MS Freedom of the Seas which is currently the largest. - skankyBacon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Here's your gold star: *
- Hurshai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I'm sure it's coal fired....and the wave pool is powered by rainbows and a childs laughter.
- cookie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11i was just on that ship last week, it was really the best time ive ever had on a cruise. The staff was amazing and the ocean view blacony suite we ordered was very roomy. The ship becomes much smaller towards the end of the week actually.
i extremely recommend this ship to anyone who plans on going on a cruise, my cruise to the carribean was awesome, and the boat was very safe, i could barely feel the motion sickness.
ride royal carribean! =D - Sepeteus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Because it's not too big to fit under the highest point of the bridge?
- faclonX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9My family is going on that thing, its got some cool features, it has a surfing pool (one of those ones with the water jets), a skating arena, like 3 pools, movie theater, miniput, spas that hang out over the sides of the boat, etc... The list keeps going... It looks really cool, too bad I can't afford to go :(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Pretty amazing Flash website for the ship:
http://www.freedomoftheseas.com/ - macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9No, it's just that it's soo big that when it sinks, the top still sticks out.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Wow, I thought ebaumsworld was a content stealing ***** hole of a site.. I guess there are people who try to copy it?
They need to ban all the sites that just steal content and don't cite sources from digg. - cybe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Made in Finland
- SlackerCSB, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Wait until you're onboard. All of the food and entertainment just blow you away.
You haven't vacationed until you've been on a cruise through Royal Carribean!
(Sounds like an ad - but it's the truth! Treat yourself and your lady!) - pu-z, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No, you weren't. The ship had its maiden voyage in April last year. I was on the pre-maiden voyage in Europe.
- Vladamir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7@barman:
Well then, it's a good thing digg is all typing isn't it? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I don't suppose the accommodations are too great, but a Nimitz class carrier has about 5700 personnel on board.
- jdonner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Super examp[e of copyright infringement; using someone elses pictures without asking to get tons of traffic with only one reason; advertising income.
Thieves... - Sblader5, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Freedom of the seas is bigger than the Queen Mary 2. Royal Caribbean made this ship so they could say they have the biggest ship in the world again.
- woojoo, on 10/12/2007, -11/+15Geez! Look at that ten-storied hall! They can build a highway in there!
- Sonic_Molson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4There must be a huge portion of that thing underwater, from the top it looks like it could just fall over.
- Sippi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Thats a huge bitch!
- DonCarcharo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I got married on the Explorer of the Seas, sister ship to Voyager, a few years back. It was a wonderful experience and an incredible ship (roller blading, rock climbing, ice skating, indoor mall of sorts). Well this year one of my old friends is getting married and wants to do it on a cruise. He wanted something elegant yet fun, just a very memorable experience. I recommended the Freedom of the Seas (or the Liberty) since it is the new largest ship in the world and I know the Explorer and Voyager, both of which I've been on and were formally the largest, we're excellent ships. The bulk of the 20 people going to the wedding, including him and his wife to be, have never been on a cruise and I thought that would be a great first experience.
He picked the Carnival Valor because his travel agent told him it was the better choice. :( -
