I just booked this cabin for a 7 night Western Med on Freedom this morning. I can't find any information on line after a few quick searches. Has anyone stayed in one before? Are these deck 12 rooms newer to Freedom? I was on her in summer of 2013 and I don't remember these rooms being up there. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks very much.

All,

Can someone give me an idea when summer (Aug) 2017 Med cruises may be open for booking? I realize the dates can change year to year, but is there a general idea based on past years experiences?

I would like to know the same.

Thanks again to everyone who responded. Excited to use both lounges in a couple weeks when we travel

I know alcohol is available in the CL during the evening. What is available to drink during the morning and afternoon? Can I get soda or water bottles?

Thanks all who responded. I got the idea we could use both via a YouTube video I watched. The person videoing referenced being able to use both. I really like the idea of the outdoor area on the 14th deck.

First time in an owners suite in a couple weeks on the Adventure of the Seas. Will we have access the Diamond Lounge on the 14th deck or just the concierge lounge on deck 9?

We got on by 12:30. Biggest piece of advice is print your luggage tags and attach them before you head to the port. Then use a porter when you get there, tipping $2-5 per bag. Then you can go in the "no bags" line (even if you have rolling carry ons) and you are right to security, no wait.

 

Have fun!

How will I know where to find the porter? Is it obvious?

New cabins on deck 12? Where would they be placed?

Can anyone recommend a good transportation company for ride from Marriott to cruise terminal

We stayed forward on deck 4 last summer. I liked the location. I used the stairs mostly when going up and down the stairs, but didn't find the elevators too crowded when needing them.

Has anyone stayed in this cabin before? It's on the hump, but I read the balcony is on the smaller size. Any feedback is welcome. We leave to 46 days

Do suites get luggage tags mailed?

Well it is official. Got a letter from NCL today about the charter. Will price protect any sailing on Getaway except next Christmas and get a $100 credit. Have make a decision in a couple weeks or they just refund

Still have not done anything. I think we are going ride this out and see what they offer and just push out the date

Thanks very much. I guess another call to NCL is in order

I am still conflicted on what to do. Talked with NCL again last night and they assure me the ship is not chartered and there is no issue with the sailing. I think I am going to ride this out a few more weeks

We are thinking of moving over to MSC out of Miami. The ports are not as exciting, but it is cheaper.

Finally called today. After holding for awhile they claim the ship is not chartered but have no reason why it is not open for new reservations.

I called NCL today and the woman confirmed it is chartered. She told me to call back during business hours to speak with someone about our options. Will try tomorrow

I did call NCL over the weekend, but got a response of the cruise is sold out for new bookings with 4 people on the reservation. I asked why I couldn't even see it on the website, and I obviously stumped the person on the line as they really didn't know. I need to call back.

Here is my question - In the past when NCL has chartered boats did they move people to different dates or just let them stay on the boat as a reservation was made ahead of the cruise being chartered?

Interesting. I am booked on that cruise in a Haven Suite
