| | Cruise Critic Features: A Closer Look: Freedom of the Seas |
 | | On April 7, 2006, when this photo was snapped, Freedom of the Seas was indeed just six days from its departure from Aker Finnyards in snowy Turku, Finland. |
 | | This ship, and another duo of relatively identical siblings to be launched in 2007 and 2008, is an extension of the cruise line's existing Voyager class of vessels (such as Voyager of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, Adventure of the Seas, Navigator of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas). |
 | | The reason that Freedom of the Seas' move from dry dock to wet dock is such a milestone is that, until a ship floats, it's not significantly different from any land construction project. |
