Just thought I would add that the bathroom and changing area was very nice and clean. And there was an area outside to shower off. If you have kids you will want to shower them, I saw several that were coated in sand after playing. The beach is a very fine sand.

You can just show up anytime. People were still arriving when we left around 1pm. There were plenty of chairs and umbrellas and a nice patio/bar area you can sit at.

I did not really pay attention to the cabanas. They were empty when we got there. Not sure if people used them.

I saw people with their own snorkel gear. The beach was really sandy so I don’t know how good snorkeling would be.

There was a business on the beach where you could buy activities, they had a boat with a sign that said snorkeling tours. I saw the boat leave and come back. I did not go check out the sign the business had with activities and prices.

We just returned from a day at Royal Palms. The day time was not a large party scene. There were lots of families and I saw many kids playing in the sand.

Chairs were $12 each and umbrellas $15. $2 each to get in. This is all USD and they do give change back in USD. Or they take credit cards.

There were servers who would bring food and drinks. The food is expensive, the price is in Cayman Islands dollars and they convert at 1.25. But what we order was very good.

Does anyone have recent Funtimes from the Dream? We are sailing in 16 days and would love to review activities.

Thanks

Excellent review - glad to hear Brandon was a good CD. We will be on the Dream in 20 days!

We booked the Steak House after the demo to have the mushroom soup. But they don’t have the soup on the menu.

I agree they should change the demo menu. And have the demo more than once would also help.

The bridge tour of the Festivale in 1984

I just renewed mine in Nov. and it took - no kidding here- 1.5 weeks. Maybe they were slow, it was close to Thanksgiving. I bet you get that back in 2 weeks.

Hi all! I am sailing on the Dream in January and am trying to decide on what to get done at the spa.

I'm looking at the ELEMIS Intensely Cleansing Salt Scrub with 25/50 minute massage.

I haven't found any reviews on it though. It would be great if someone who has had it let me know how their experience was!

I love Cozumelbarhop! We have been on the hop twice and it is so much fun! Just be sure and take cash. I would be happy to go again anytime.

On one of our Behind the Fun tours, the officer in charge of stores told us they always carry enough food for 3-4 days beyond the expected length of the cruise just for situations like this. Some items may run low or indeed run out but there should always be edibles for several days past the expected end of the itinerary. Or so we were told..... ;)

I was on the Freedom 1 month ago and was told/heard more than once from staff that they always have 2 weeks of food supplies on board. If the ship isn't even due in until tomorrow normally I find it hard to believe they are running out of food. Weird

We visited on our stop in Key West. Easy 5 minute walk from the ship. They have a wide selection of styles and colors available and you try on the size you need. You see the workers in the back making sandals. My daughter bout 2 pair for $38.

That's great! I have ask for that on every comment survey after every cruise.

Never been on the Fantasy, but I have experienced the Chef's Table on Conquest and Magic and loved the experience both times. I have it booked for the Freedom this coming week.

Thanks Saint Greg! Yes I used that horrible dryer on the Triumph. Bad memories.

On the Freedom in 15 days! Any ship is a good ship. I loved the Triumph so sounds like Freedom is going to be great.

Okiefromtulsa - did Freedom have hairdryers?

Let's not discuss the lack of dryers on Triumph.

I have sailed from there 3 times. I always park at port parking because it is so easy. Never had a line. Pulled up, paid. Stop where the porters are. Be sure to have your carry on separate from other bags. Then they tell you go to floor X or X. Find and spot and done. Take elevator to terminal. Remember where you parked!

It's so nice to get off the ship and walk right to my car and drive off.

How long does it take to make a pair?

Going to go to the Chef's Table on the Freedom. Does anyone know where they set up the tables, in the galley or in a different room?

I've eaten at the Chef's Table on other ships and eaten in galley and another area.

Anyone been lately to the Chef's Table on the Freedom? Is it the old menu or new?

Yep, I also take my Euro plug and use it to charge my cell phone. We always have 3 phones that need charging.

Having trouble too. I can not buy an excursion on a booked cruise. Every time I hit excursions it takes me back to the log in page. Guess I'm going to have to call them.

Take your hair dryer, the ones on this ship are terrible.

Yes ask the cabin steward. They are happy to bring more.

Our first cruise was the Festivale in 1984. Then you could take a bridge tour for free!
