Hi Slhall, The normal time you can get into your stateroom is 1:00. If you are onboard sooner, just go to the Windjammer and have some lunch and walk around the ship.
Do you know if Royal has early check in for Freedom of the Seas? Carnival out of Long Beach CA has early check in it was really nice. We checked in at about 9:30AM and were one of the first people on the ship.
