We arrived back to UK two weeks ago after a B2B from San Juan. Flights were LHR to MIA then MIA to SJU, the reverse on the return. On way out you have to collect bags and do immigration at the Miami as it is your entry airport, bags then have to be handed in again.

Easier on way back as bags can be checked in at SJU through to LHR.

However journey was fine and all the connections worked. Airline was American.

Back last Saturday after 2 week B2B. There was always Asian dishes, not sure about Mexican. The selection was smaller than on some ships however the dishes available were excellent and really tasty. Lamb curries, butter chicken and dahls particularly good.

Ship Freedom

Deck 10

Stateroom # 1264

Category Grand Suite

Starboard or Port side Starboard

Quiet stateroom Little noise from deck above. Compared to other occasions when we have been directly below Solarium and Windjammer this was quiet.

Connecting room no, as the whirlpool is above balcony sides are thick metal partitions. Good privacy.

Balcony view The whirlpool is above however we didn't think this blocked view unless into stargazing. The front of the balcony is blue tinted glass. Didn't bother us but may annoy some people.

Size Great size, with two lovely comfortable loungers, two chairs, one large and one small table.

Note whirlpool above blocks sun, positive for me no good for sun worshippers.

Wind No

Soot n/a

Problems None

Other comments This stateroom would not be for everyone. The whirlpool blocks the sun for most of the day. For me this is a real positive, my sunkissed look is red and freckles, however if you want to use your balcony for sunbathing this room is not for you.

We would book this room again for the sole reason that the whirlpool gives shade. We were able to sit out enjoy the heat without getting burnt.
