CRUISE COMPASS  Each day passengers on
FREEDOM OF THE SEAS receive a copy of Cruise
Compass listing the day's events and providing other
information.  Attached is a copy of one issue.  It is presented
for historical purposes as Beyondships has no control over
Royal Caribbean and cannot say whether it is representative of
what Royal Caribbean will do in the future.

CRUISE NEWS In the attached issue of Cruise
News, Royal Caribbean gives brief biographical sketches of
senior ship personnel as well as "Useful Information" for
passengers.
