  1. One suggestion, if you have medication that requires refrigeration either take it with you during the turn around or let your cabin steward know that it is in the refrigerator and needs to be moved to the new cabin (I would suggest option 1 just to be on the safe side). On our last b2b the cabin steward was aware of the medication but did not let their assistant know about it and the medication was accidentally thrown out. Royal was excellent in taking care of this situation by replacing the medication and providing follow-up for the remainder of the cruise.

  2. Just got back from Freedom of the Seas on March 6 and was in cabin 9708. There is some vibration when getting ready to dock, but other than that there was not much movement. I was a little skeptical at first with everyone talking about how great the aft cabins were, but after this cruise, I'm a big fan. There's just something to sitting on the balcony and seeing the wake of the ship extending to the horizon. I think you will enjoy this cabin very much.

  3. The CL offered breakfast items such as danish, donuts, fruit, meats, cheeses, juice, coffee, etc. At the Happy hour I believe between 4:30-8:30pm they had hor dourves consisting of appetizers (fried shrimp, spring rolls, chicken tenders, etc), truffles, chocolate covered strawberries, etc and an open bar. Bertie had no problem if you stopped down before dinner, grabbed a drink and took it with you. As suite guests, we were invited to a galley tour with one of the executive chefs - we toured deck 4 & 5 galleys. One other thing, we were invited to Vintages Wine bar to meet some of the officers. They served drinks and hor dourves. Just a FYI, if you are having any issues with your account, ask the concierge to help resolve the issue. We experienced an issue with missing OBC and he was willing to help resolve this. Also, if you have any type of special requests, feel free to email the concierge pre cruise. This cruise was my son's high school graduation gift and he wants to pursue a career in sound engineering. We email the concierge asking if he could spend some time with the head sound technician and he arranged this for us. My son was pretty excited to be able to run sound during one of the rehersals in the main theater. As far as meal offerings, you can eat each morning in Chops Grille. They have a menu you can order from or you can go get food from the Windjamer and take it in to eat. As for lunch, we either ate in the main dining room on sea days as they have a very nice salad bar and on port days, grab a quick bite from one of the various venues. One other perk that is nice, is you can order room service off the main dining room menu. We got back on the ship a little late on day and ordered from the dining room menu and it arrived very quickly.

  4. We just got back last night from our Freedom cruise staying in the Royal Family Suite 9708. If you will be stopping in Grand Cayman, be sure to let the concierge know that you will be going on shore and he will arrange a meeting time to get you on an early tendor. Also, when coming back to the ship, if you do so after 2PM, there is a priority line for those with Gold cards. That was a nice perk. If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll be happy to answer them.
