Another hijacker! Lol! Anyone know when they are on the Eastern leg of the Caribbean on Freedom of the Seas.

Also, how formal is formal? Seriously, does my husband need a suit or can he wear smart shirt and trousers? Help!!:confused:

I am struggling with the formal nights too….only because my wife loves lobster night…lol.

I really don’t want to bring a suit…I am considering a button down shirt (maybe a tie) and sport coat…but I would love to ditch the sport coat…lol

Thanks Yorkvillain. If anyone wants to see some of my Anthem scopes check out the replays at Katch.me/kcjarvis

Thanks...how do you save a scope out to Katch.me?

Does it only save it there for a certain time?

Thanks for the info

No such luck.

:rolleyes:

Keep checking...I only found the Voom sale today because I was checking to see if the drink package was on sale as there have been a lot of posts on that this week.

So does Voom just cover internet?....if we had 2 devices could we text between the 2 devices?..or is texting different?...just thinking if I can use it to keep track of my son and daug.

I just logged in to see if I could see this option for my 6/26 cruise. I didn't see it. Did you just go to the "Internet Packages" section online and the offer was there?

yes and yes

You only need to select the package for one person. When you get onboard, there will be instructions on how to set up the internet. You can share the password/information between two devices.

yes but at $15 p/p for 7 days is $105...so don't I add the second person...or just select myself and then they add the second person on their end?...Thx for the help.

$15.00 per day for buy one, get one free. $30.00 a day for buy 2, get 2 free.

Yes...but for 2 it keeps showing total of $210 in my cart...shouldn't it be $105...unless I am totally reading it wrong...lol

I was just checking to see if the drink package was discounted today and saw VOOM is offered on my April 17 cruise...also its buy one, get one free for a limited time....now trying to decide if I pull the trigger...lol

My portable clothes steamer was held in "the naughty room". Had to hear the lecture before they released my bag and then another lecture when I went to get it back on the last day. Won't do THAT again! :)

I have wondered about the travel steamers....I read that they are on the list but I don't get why those are not allowed but hair straighteners and curling irons are....they seem like a larger potential for a fire than a streamer.

Hi everyone...I had the same question...but could someone post a picture of the hole punch method and the lanyard you used...we leave in a few weeks and I wanted to purchase some for my family and just wanted to see what lanyards you guys used....thanks for sharing.

We LOVED this cabin. I was trying for the corner in 1700 or 1400, but it was taken. Regardless, we were very happy with this room. So much so, we booked a comparable cabin on Adventure for next January. Our prior cruise, we had adjoining promenade rooms, and I was worried about only one bathroom, one closet, etc. But it worked out fine with being organized. This room is longer than the other balcony rooms, and had 2 extra night stands (4 total.) That helped with storage and less feeling cramped. I thought the walk aft would be really bad, but it was fine. And the balcony was amazing! I'll post some pics (excuse messy cabin). Let me know if specific questions!

Thanks for posting the pictures. The room looks great

Did you notice much noise from the Windjammer above?

Was there noticeable motion being on the back of the ship?...Most times if we had a balcony it was more mid ship.

Did you have lounge chairs or did you have to request them?

Thanks again for the info.

Get there by 11:30 or wait until after cabins open at 1:00 and it's not that busy.

What time does the windjammer open on cruise day?

We are coming down a day early so we plan on being at the ship early.

We did a tour with Bernard's Tours. One of the stops was Maho Beach (airport beach). We stayed about an hour, he timed it so we would be there when the BIG planes came in. Other stops included an iguana farm (he fed them so there were hundreds coming out to greet us), a beach stop (90 mins on the family-friendly end of Orient Beach), Marigot to eat and shop (French side, everyone went to Saraphina's), another stop with sea creatures to see and hold.

I mention all this because it was very kid-friendly. Lots of stops to keep them interested. Maho Beach at the airport was super crowded the day we were there and from recent pictures and reviews it looks as though the already small beach has eroded immensely. It is not a beach to play in the water or sit in the sand.

There were also a lot of traffic jams on our return, which our driver was able to get around and get us back in time. We had a lot of pier runners that day!

Definitely, get some other opinions but I just wanted to share our experience.

Maho is a must-see! We loved St. Martin!

That's my fear with not booking thru the cruise line...not making it back in time...we are considering Bernard's Tours for our upcoming cruise in April..have read good things

We were in 1702 last year, right above that room. If we were standing at our railing, we could probably see the very front 1/4 to 1/3 (estimate) of the balcony. If you were on the back part of the balcony, you couldn't be seen

Hi...we are in 1702 in April (family of 4) and would love to get your take on the room, balcony, location and overall thoughts if you could.

Its our first aft balcony and our son (12) first cruise ever.

Thanks for sharing.

We will be on Freedom in April and this will be our first time with MTD...is it in the main dining room?

Do you need to follow the same dress code for each evening?....formal, etc?

We have made our reservations already but just wanted alittle more info.

Thanks

Hi everyone...sorry if this has already been posted but is the shuttle to the ship free at the hotels?...we are flying in, not driving...prob taking a taxi or some sort of transportation from the airport to the hotel...just trying to find the best fit for us...Thanks

A few more...[ATTACH]339715[/ATTACH][ATTACH]339716[/ATTACH][ATTACH]339717[/ATTACH][ATTACH]339718[/ATTACH][ATTACH]339719[/ATTACH][ATTACH]339720[/ATTACH]

Thank you so much for the pics....they are great...looking forward to the cabin now.

I have read that its alittle bit of a walk from the elevators...what did you think?

Also any vibrations from the engines or excessive motion?

We are traveling with a child as well.

Thanks again.

We are booked in that room for the 2/1/15 cruise on Freedom. I've found some good pics online, and there is a good You Tube video of 1402 (which is the same except flipped.)

Happy Cruise day...enjoy the room!! ...look forward to a room review or pics if you have the chance...Thanks.

Dont laugh but...539 days, 14hrs, 25 min...sooooo long to wait but you do what ya gotta do.

Great review and Pics..thanks for sharing?

Did I miss what cabin # you had?...we booked our first aft balcony for April 2016 on Freedom..1702...not the corner but one over...am looking forward to it.

thanks...I will look for the video...the balcony looks alot bigger so that will be a plus...I am thinking the room size is the same as the port and aft cabins but dont know for sure.

Hi everyone,

We just booked our first aft balcony. We will be sailing on Freedom...cabin 1702....(have had port and star before)

From everything I have read they seem really popular and go quick so we are excited to try it out.

My wife was set on a normal balcony so I hope I made the right choice...or this may be my last cruise...haha

thank you apdmom the picture is great.

Sounds like its 50/50...lol

Either way it will be great...I forgot how long it had been but after 12 year it will just be great to be back.

thanks for the help.

Now a dumb question...looking at the deck plans on RCCL...is the front of the ship the top and rear of ship the bottom on the plans?...so Port left and starboard right?

I didnt notice anything that told me that in their site.

Thanks again

thanks..I should re-phrase my question I think.

We would like to have a view of downtown Charlotte Amalie from our balcony when docked.

We will be on the Freedom.

Any thoughts?
