Has there been a welcome back event for Crown & Anchor members? I'm wondering if it's for all levels, or just the upper tiers? We are Gold level and I heard that the lower levels aren't included anymore?

There was an event yesterday, we forgot to attend. It was at 4:45, I can check the invite to see what levels it included.

We were watching that also.

 

 

 

And would that trivia be by the Bull And Bear Club?

We have a winner! Now if I was Alec Trebec I may disallow this guess but Im not Alec nor is this Jeopardy, this is Freedom Trivia so you were close enough to Bull & Bear Pub!

You have won an all expenses paid* cruise to anywhere you choose :) congrats breezy

Bull & Bear Pub

Come on Bob. Where is this?

No idea this time.:confused:

I'm stumped as well. I would guess that it is in front of the Bull & Bear Pub or in front of the Connoisseur Club.

I thought of the Connoisseur Club too, as that is the only place I can think of that might have a marble floor..

Yup. Now we wait for Seadog to tell us what we won. Hopefully no Royal Caribbean zipper pulls.

Since you all know this ship so well I was going to make these harder :) glad it was not a slam dunk. Thanks for all the guesses it make the thread a bit more fun!

Again thanks to everyone following along it is appreciated!

I am first in line for today's black Friday sale

Nobody better get in my way for those shot glass deal !

Gonna be a long wait, i'll hold your place in line for you :)

Good morning Cruise Critics! Welcome to day 6 of .... Wait WHAT.....DAY 6! what the hell happened to the first 5 days?? I cannot believe we are nearing the end of our cruise :(

Well lets turn that frown upside down and enjoy this Black Friday in Cozumel shall we.

Time to rise and shine Mr Sunrise!

I propose replacing the definition of peaceful in the dictionary with this picture and no words:

Actually moderate seas at the moment providing a nice sway to help everyone rise and shine

Wakeup Cozumel, Freedom is coming!

So, for a Thanksgiving cruise, how have crowds been? Are there issues with a lot of unsupervised or unruly kids?

It has been fine really. I have seen many kids but they have been very well behaved.

Only a few times have we entered the elevators and all the buttons were pressed. :)

Sounds like a plan.

There should be a Thanksgiving Feast featured for dinner tonight...........usually traditional dishes and desserts - ENJOY!!!!

 

We love Freedom od the Seas...........please take great care of her as we board on 11/29 for a B2B.

And Gary won't get off the ship, so we will join him for another go round on 12/6!

Thanks Island Lady! Yeah it was more likely a drill. Thanks for check in!

 

Just got back onboard from a morning at 7 mile beach. Beautiful morning.

Looks lovely there. Hope you're enjoying your day.

Included in the excursion was a buffet, which we passed on, access to their pool and unlimited drinks that included a select lower shelf liquor and XX beer. There was a cash bar for higher shelf drinks. Also included was the kids water park.

Not included were to foot nibblers as we called them, a stand where little fish nibble the dead skin off your feet. It was standing room only to get in. We did not try it.

Also massages were available for a modest fee compared to the ship prices.(many people were getting them)

They also had a sports area where they had this football toss challenge along with water ballon races between your legs etc, looked fun and people were enjoying and laughing.

It was a nice place, but I will reserve judgement if we would go back on a tour until I see the price we paid as we booked it so long ago, I thought it was around $80 per person, and if so we would consider going and doing a day pass which was much cheaper per person and cabs were plentiful.

But all in all it is a clean, safe and very nice excursion.

Here is the kids water park

A few miscellaneous snaps from today

Real of fake? Whatta you think :)

Not sure my back would survive this ride

To bad we will be at dinner when the final all aboard horn sounds as from the ruckus going on at señor frogs when we passed on the way back, I am betting there will be a few entertaining runners to observe

Now time for a quick nap before getting cleaned up for the evening. See everyone in a bit!
