Royal Caribbean International today announced 26 new sailings for Freedom of the Seas from May through October 2013. Freedom of the Seas will alternate seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, sailing round-trip every Sunday from Port Canaveral on Florida’s Space Coast.
Families on their summer vacation will enjoy Royal Caribbean’s award-winning entertainment, including the DreamWorks Experience, featuring Alex the Lion, Po the Dragon Warrior, Shrek and Fiona, and other favorite characters from the animation studio’s popular movies.
