Freedom OTS 2/26/12 Compasses and Cruise info

[cruising granddad]

Thank You so much! This is the first time I've seen Nursery Information and the first time I've seen the "new" Adventure Ocean Compasses for the Eastern Route. They are so helpful - we are sailing on 3/25/12 and are getting very excited!

My wife and I do not cruise with kids, but I know others do. I try to get all Compasses, if I can, to post!

John,

 

There are several appreciative folks who have thanked you on the Freedom March 25 thread. Thanks again!

These are great. Although we don't sail until November, this helps us do some fun advance planning even though some things may change. What are your thoughts on the entertainers in the Schooner Bar and Pub? I too am curious to hear about CocoCay.

[cruising granddad]

Thank you for posting. We leave on the Freedom at the end of the month. Now I can start planning before we get on the ship.

I love to preplan! I hope you will have a great trip.

Thank you so much! I don't cruise for close to a year, but I love to plan ahead.

The year will drag by until you think you have everything planned, then wham the cruise is OVER.:eek:

Thanks, Joe!! How sweet! When is your next cruise? John and I will be cruising in a grand suite on Mariner ots May 28 from Rome.....12 nights, and then MAY do a 7 night after that one. If you pay for a Med flight this year, you need to stay long enough to make it worthwhile! Tell your wife and Nora we send our, "hellos!":D

Hi, My wife and I were on the 2/26/12 sailing of Freedom OTS. I have scanned some of the Compasses and other info for our cruise. I will try to finish scanning them ASAP, but I have to work also. To see the info go here:

THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to scan all of this! My cruise is 41 days away and this just made me even more excited about the trip.

This is a great insite to whats going on Thank you so much for your time & Effort JOHN & TERRY

[cruising granddad]

I am in awe. Every piece of paper you received in your cabin, for seven days, faithfully scanned, for other people you don't even know to use and enjoy.

 

And my family wonders why I check CC on a daily basis! They all have received a link to this via email now!

 

Thank you so much! I am in planning heaven!

Thanks for the kind words! I try to be helpful. I have learned things through CruiseCritic and I like to give back when I can.

 

I did not scan "every piece". If I scanned my bill, I would not be finished now;);)?!

[cruising granddad]

This is fantastic thanks for being so thorough

I do what I can!:D

[cruising granddad]

Thanks for the scans of the babies and tots. Those are so hard to come by. Now I have to figure out what to do on night one as it looks like the nursery isn't open that night like it was on the Liberty. :confused:

I love those babies & tots!:D:D

I have 2 Grandchildren and I can not get enough of them!!!!!:p:p

[cruising granddad]

How did you like Coco Cay?

What did you do there?

I loved it!

We sat in our beach chair, ate at the buffet, and walked around some.

I love beach days!:D

I agree about the air fares.....We are doing a tauck river cruise in July on the Danube...it's the Bridges program so the ship will have families for my daughter..Flying Lauftansa and they were the least expensive of expensive while we are also staying on after the end of the cruise and traveling to Budapest (to be a pest to the natives:D)..We also are doing the Med next year on Disney. We sail more Disney than any other line and this will make our 3rd time sailing the Med. with Mickey. 12 nights in the suite now that is SWEET!.Wish you a wonderful cruise.:)

[cruising granddad]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. We sail on her in 60 days. This our first Freedom class so it will help us decide what we want to do.

 

Again thanks......:):)

Freedom OTS is my favorite ship!:D

You will love Freedom OTS.:p

[cruising granddad]

What a fantastic find! We travel as a family group, I take care of all the arrangements and also supply information to new cruisers in our group. I have saved copies of each Daily Compass (plus all of the misc pages) to give my aunt so she can have the perfect idea of what to expect on her first cruise. Each piece you scanned is helpful to someone. Very well organized / labeled.

 

I know this took a lot of time -- thank you! :)

Your aunt will love this cruise!

[fischymom]

We are cruising Freedom in August so we have a wait yet but I REALLY do appriciate that you have uploaded all the info. I have looked and looked at them so I can have some planning ideas :rolleyes:

We are on FOS May 27th and have a question. We love to eat on our balcony. Normally the SMALL little patio tables are all that is on a "normal" sized balcony. However, this past year, we were on Explorer and they had a table you could pull a chair up to and eat normally on it on every balcony.

 

Other than a JS or Suite, do they have regular sized tables on the balconies?

 

Thanks in advance.

[cruising granddad]

Thank you so much for these... I can only imagine the time it took!

It did take awhile to do!

 

I like to help others if I can!

[Cheryl H]

Thank you!! We are considering booking this cruise for spring break 2014 as soon as the booking opens. We usually stick to the Radiance class, but I'm really looking forward to the Freedom. I hope the eastern itinerary falls on our spring break week.

[cruising granddad]

Cruisingrandad THANK you! I broke my ankle and am now having to re-plan my whole cruise and these are so helpful!

I hope your ankle is better soon!

Just think, only take half your shoes!;)

[cruising granddad]

This is just great.My DW and I will be on th FOS in June and this will help with some planning.

Many thanks

Have fun!

[cruising granddad]

Thank you as well - spent a few hours reading all of them last night! Definitely helping with our decision to switch from the "dark side".

Welcome to the "light side"!:D;)

[cruising granddad]

Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I've been looking for :)

I am glad to help!

[cruising granddad]

You are the person!!!!

 

We are on FoTS June 3 (Eastern) for our 25th wedding anniversary. (We're crazy enough to bring our kids along, in their own cabin of course :) )

 

I'm an overzealous planner, so these are the ultimate in awesomeness.

Lots of time to plan.
