AF-1

I booked 9723; seems like a good location. I don't mind walking; my wife does; but we don't have to be in a rush to get anywhere so we can take our time.

Is there any media onboard for the transatlantic crossing? Also, do u think they will have videos of the crossing like they did on Oasis?

Another nice post; nice pics; I love biscuits and gravy; have fun on your last day at sea.

I was told Ken Rush has been in Finland getting the ship and staff ready. He will sail it across the Atlantic and be onboard in Dec/Jan.

I gotta tell you. Reading about spreading the ashes at sea brought tears to my eyes. Bless you.

click on this link; under videos select Oasis experience; click on the video titled; "unique views from boardwalk and central park" this will tell you about the boardwalk cabins. I am in 9723 which is across the ship from where you're looking at. I asked questions about this cabin; people who have stayed in them said you can sit on balcony and watch aqua show, big screen tv's, and the zip line; when you close balcony door it is quiet; you must keep curtain closed; because people across from you can see in.

I used Romeinlimo last year; used them in both Rome and Pisa/Florence. We had a large group. Romeinlimo far exceeded our expectations; and far exceeded what the cruise line could come up with. They will make your time in each city count. What we liked about them was how they would stop for atm machines, bathroom breaks, lunch, etc. They were there to make sure u got your money's worth in the city. If u have any questions I would be glad to answer them.

royalcruz, u give such great advice and have a great deal of knowledge of Ft. Lauderdale area; thank you.

I will be on Allure in Jan. Have copied and pasted the tips to my email; so I can refer to them when I sail. Thanks for the hard work

I have a long way to go. Dec 4, 2011; matter of fact it is so long a wait, I book Allure in Jan 11, just to help with the long wait. Acutally my wife and I will be sailing Allure with 15 friends; and we are taking our kids/grandkids on Freedom in Dec. It will be kids first cruise so they will love it.

Thank you for this website info. I will be traveling to Port Canaveral next year; there is so much info on your port website; it's great. I should be able to find decent transportation for my group; we will be flying into MCO; since there are 11 in my family I will need a large van. Thanks.

Radio, once again you amaze me with your talent for posting pics, cruise compass', and great dialogue. I only hope to get good at posting pics when I cruise.

I want to thank everyone who posted pics and comments on this thread. I can only afford to cruise every two years; so in between cruises I like to be on the chat boards and interact and see what everyone is doing. I get so much valuable information from these boards, that when I do cruise, I feel like I have a wealth of knowledge; so again, thanks to everyone, especially Radio, you have provided wonderful insight into this Bermuda cruise; your pictures and comments are great, and I have visited your website and looked at Freedom, which I will be sailing on next year.

Cheers

great pics on such a beautiful Mothers Day. Cheers to all

Hi, I see everyone has a great thread going. Can anyone tell me which airport your prefer to fly in and out of: Orlando or melbourne? I have a group of 11 and am trying to figure out logistics to get to and from the port. thanks,

Let me jump into this forum and post a few tips. :):):):):). These faces are for Romeinlimo and the service they provide. They provided my group of 15 with wonderful service. We used them in both Rome and Pisa/Florence last year on Voyager of the Seas. In Rome they purchased advance tickets to the colisium/private tour of Vatican, so in both of these places we had no wait at all. The minivans are new; stocked with bottled water; very knowledgeable drivers, and get you right up front of museums so you don't have far to walk. In Florence/Pisa there is so much to see I would not recommend trying to see two museums; not enough time; there is so much to see in these two cities; My group had people who had never been overseas before; and the gudies made them feel like royality. We reserved everything via email with Jany and Duman, and I paid them in Euros when we got to both ports; they will take u to an atm machine to change money; or you can get it on the ship. If you have any questions regarding using this company or what places to see in Rome/Pisa/ or Florence let me know.

Cheers

Why not spend an extra day in Venice sightseeing and fly out the following day. That's what I did in 07. First off let me give u some tips. The airport will be total zoo on arrival day. U won't be the only ship in port and most people who live in Europe will be flying home. That being said, u can be one of the last off ship; take your time eat breakfast, then head to airport. I almost bet it will take u at least two hours to get thru security, ticket, etc, so when u really look at it; if u leave the ship at 0900 or 0930, take 30 min taxi to airport, fight the crowds, u will only have a few hour wait. It's up to you but think about it.

I did a cruise from Venice in 2007. our itinerary was:

Venice

Dubrovnik

Ephesus

Santorini

Cofu

In Venice just walking along the Grand Canal and going to St. Marks Square is nice. Lot of picture taking opportunities. The Academy of Art is also a nice place to visit in Venice, and the Gelato Stands

In Dubrovnik, go to the walled city. The ship most likely will provide buses to the walled city. In Corfu we visited the Achilleon Palace and a Greek Monestary. The palace was ok, but the monestary was neat. the city is about a 15 min walk from the cruise terminal. Again, the ships provide shuttle buses to downtown Corfu. Hope this helps

Royal Caribbean has a promenade deck outside that goes around the entire ship. On both sides and fwd and aft there are lounge chairs for relaxing. Also on Voyager and Freedom class ships there is an inside Promenade, which is over two hundred feet long. There are shops, bars, food, etc. There are chairs where you can sit and just people watch. At night the indoor promenade lights up with parades and other type activities.

cheers

By domestic let's look at within the lower 48. The longest most likely would be miami-seattle. If u want to go outside the lower 48 then probably miami-honolulu or Bangor Maine-Hawaii.

If you post your question on the europe board you will get a good answer. A lot of our european cruise critic members search that board and give good advice.

Cheers

This is my first attempt at posting photos. The first picture is of Splendour of the seas in Corfu, Greece. Second photo is Legend and Splendour of the Seas in Santorini, Greece. The third pic is Splendour docked at Dubrovnik, Croatia. Hope you like them
