As part of Royal Caribbean Blog's Group Cruise on Freedom of the Seas, we're holding a number of events exclusively for our blog readers because enjoying this cruise is not just about being onboard but sharing in the event together!

Private ice skating session
What's better than ice skating on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship? When we rent out the ice skating rink so that we're the only people attempting to ice skate! Join us for a private ice skating session. This event is exclusively for those that booked with MEI Travel.

The most civilized bar crawl ever
The word "bar crawl" conjurs up images of drunken debauchery but the truth is we just want to sample a drink or two at a number of Freedom of the Seas' bars so join us for an opportunity to wet our whistle while exploring these new venues to find which ones we love the most.
