Linda, do you know anyone who has a cabana? Hope you get to enjoy one of those this trip.

 

Your photos are lovely! Are you and Patty doing MTD? Hope you have good servers.

 

Murphy said to say hello!

Wow Linda! Great friend, great live review going! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I am anxious to read more. You have me so excited for our trip on Freedom in May....can't wait. Thank you and enjoy!

[DrD]

Thanks for the great review. I saw you guys on the webcam Sunday. Hard to miss!

We were on FOS last week, and I couldn't find one person who knew about the delicious Roast Beef sandwiches (Kummelwick). I thought they were already rolled-out to FOS. Perhaps, you'll have better luck finding out when they are arriving?

Love it!! Thank you,I am soaking up all Royal Caribbean at the moment

I want to thank RCCL for contributing towards the cost of the onboard internet connection in order for me to post this blog. This is the first time I have approached them with regards to a contribution towards this expense and I was delighted with their response. Every word I write is my own and I am in no way influenced by any person or company. My opinion has always been and will always be mine and that may not always be the same as you, the reader, but I do welcome your questions and comments. I have not been asked to say nice stuff about RCCL. I’m Loyal to Royal and have always commented on the things that have not gone well (as the B2B readers will attest to) and will continue to do so.

 

The Hotel Director said when I met him that he knew of me.... I'm guessing this is why.

Currently sitting in the 'Olive or Twist' with some nuts, raisins.... and a Mudslide.....

 

The Cupcake Cupboard

 

 

 

Gluten free especially made for me..... it was delicious!!!

 

 

People want to know what chocolates can be purchased on board

 

 

And cigarettes

Patty and Scott on formal night

 

 

Patty and Crystal

 

 

 

Lobster Bisque..... the GF one is on the left.... not bad.... the messy saucer is my fault....

 

 

GF crepes.... not bad at all

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

Lemon meringue pie.

Not GF. Not mine :(

Reading your posts is certainly getting me excited for my first cruise on Freedom of the Seas. Would appreciate pictures of Vintages wine list if you get a chance. I have heard the "house wine" is awful so wanting to see what other wine options are on board. Your pictures and descriptions are wonderful! Happy Cruising!! :D

[NorbertsNiece]

 

Drew has the pink monkey on his desk!! (from his morning TV show.... I don't think he sleeps....)

 

 

People often ask about outlets for appliances....

 

 

Today's breakfast. Service at breakfast is unbelievably slow.

 

 

GF muffins..... not good. Not good at all..... the ones on Adventure were far superior.

 

 

I had GF French toast today. Meh.

 

[DrD]

Such a shame about the service, many people have commented on that.What's the deal I wonder?

From the MDR window

 

 

It's a fair walk from the ship

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took some pics today and there are more in my Navigator blog. Not much has changed that I can tell.

[NorbertsNiece]

I took the tram one way to Columbas Cove

 

 

 

The straw market. Approach with caution.... they are very enthusiastic....

 

 

 

I'm intrigued at how they serve Corona

 

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

My Labadoozie..... that's half full of rum.... I ended up sharing it with Patty and Allie....

 

 

BBQ.... apologies about pic quality.... starving people behind me jogging for position....

 

 

 

That's rice and beans on the right....

hi, really getting excited looking at your pics. It snowed here today so the warmth looks unbelievable!:) We have purchased our drinks package already so no worries about finding out about the tonic! many thanks to all those who came back to me with the answers. Enjoy the rest of your cruise, keep the pics coming and thanks again.

[39august]

Ahh, Labadee! Thanks for taking the time to post and your pix are great. Is the pub smoking or non-smoking, please?

Hi there! I'm absolutely loving your review and getting excited for my upcoming cruise in April. I was wondering if you may be able to ask a question or two in the dinning room for me? If you can't, no worries, you should be enjoying your cruise :). Anyhow I will be 18 weeks pregnant on this cruise and we pregnant

Ahhh sorry about that!!! Anyhow we pregnant people are suppose to stay away from foods prepared with raw eggs or non pasteurized soft cheeses. Now I love my salads and was wondering if the Cesar dressing is prepared with raw eggs and if the feta cheese in the Greek salad is pasteurized. I know it's quite specific but I thought it would be worth asking :). Thank you in advance

Is there still a Portofino on board?

Is there still a Portofino on board?

Yes.

I am really enjoying your review. Hubby and I are going on the FOS but not until April 2014. This will be our 2nd cruise and our 1st on RCCL. Can't wait to be in our aft cabin on deck 7 for the sailaway. Love all the pics and we are doing the Eastern which is new for us. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.
