Freedom of the Seas Live Review 17th March Sailing

Hi. My friend Dave is sailing on FOS on 17th March and is going to do a live review.

He's asked me to post on here and ask that if you have any questions you would like answering or any requests for him to find anything out, that you post them on here please ready for when he sails.

He will have his laptop with him and will post from the ship but is currently offline so can't post directly himself right now.

He will take pics of MDR menus, and anything specifically requested. He's not a Diamond so can't talk Concierge stuff.

Post and ask away !!!!!!!!

Woohoo! Is he going east or west?

Do you know what excursions (if any) he has planned? We're trying to make choices now :)

This will be my first cruise in a decade so I'm just going to say it's my first cruise ;) sure has been a LONG time!! And it will be my hubby's first ever cruise plus our first week-long break from our kiddos (1 and 5). Cannot wait! June needs to hurry up :)

Thank you!

You're going to have an AMAZING time !!!!

Port Canaveral is also an efficient nice port :-)

Need to find out if someone who wants to propose to his GF early April can e mail the CD before they start the cruise

Look forward to the report.

I have a very good friend on that cruise too!! She will be wearing a pink boa on the helipad at sailaway so hopefully the webcam will pick her up!

freedom rocks

Thanks for the "heads up" I'll be tuning in. Sailing FOS for two weeks next month !!:D

Is there anyway your friend could get the Adventure Ocean dailies?? We will be sailing in less than a month (eastern though..:)) and it would nice to see some current activities.

I would think the amount of kids on the cruises will be increasing with various school spring breaks going on.

We would be interested in the Voyagers (Age 9-11) and the Tweens (Ages 12-14).

Thanks!

we too are going on the Freedom back to back in April yippee. I have just posed a question that your friend may be able to help with please.

We are considering the premium drink package and understand that bottled water is not included - but the question is are bottled mixers included? eg gin and tonic I like to have a bottle of tonic, so is this included in the package or is it just pump soda? would be good to know many thanks:cool:

Good questions ! I'll get him to find out the answers.

How exciting that you have a friend sailing as well Norbertsneice - hope she has a fantastic time :-)

I wil be following this review very closely as I love the Freedom of the Seas.

Thank you Dave!!! :D

If he does MTD, would he mind giving an indication of how long waits might be for dinner? We'd probably be going in around 7 for a table for two.

Thanks!

Aug 10 Eastern - looking forward to some information

I love the Eastern itinerary :-)

I have always wanted to sail on this ship. I too have friends sailing on this ship this month. My friend Patty will be on with you and then my friends the Chases will be on two weeks after that! My parents were on the inaugural sailing of this ship! I will be interested in everything about this ship, can't wait to read your blog!

I can answer that. The Premium drinks package includes only fountain sodas, not cans or Freestyle machine.

Well I am ready to do a print screen capture off the webcam of this bow sail away. Very good chance the PC webcam will find them;);)

I can just imagine the feather boas everywhere - ha ha ha !!!!

I can't wait!! Someone has asked about the CD ... Drew Devine is on her now and then I believe Richard Spacey will take over. Boas will be flying but mine won't have feathers!!
