Does anyone know which ship he will be on next or if he will return to the magic? I hear great things about him and i'm planning to book the magic for Christmas 2017 and i'm guessing no one will know who the the CD will be that far out.

I did not read all pages so sorry if this has been asked. We haven't cruised in 5 years and have never been to HMC. Do they provide lunch and if so what is the lunch menu or do you have to get/bring lunch with you from the ship?

Great!!!!!!! We sail on the same ship, same Itinerary, and will be at the same Hotel for two nights. I am so looking forward to this review. Thanks.

How much are these?

This is an awesome thread!!!! I'm only up to page 27 so I don't know if this has been asked as of yet. Where was this photo taken?

Great review. I usually don't read reviews unless it's on a ship I'm about to sail on. Since I live in Norfolk, I decided to read this one and I'm glad I did. LOL at the gas pumping moment. According to her facial expression, it seems to be the best part of Rae's vacation:D. This was a wonderful review. You all looked as if you had a great time. With Rae being a first time cruiser, what was her thoughts? Is she hooked on cruising?

Other airlines, such as DL, CO, US, UA, etc, have been selling tickets for mid-Nov since around the end of last December. If your main goal is a cheaper ticket price, why haven't you at least checked to see what price you can get with one of them?

Thanks for your advise. I've always thought/heard airlines such as AirTran, JetBlue, Southwest etc was less expensive than DL, CO, US, etc. The last two times over the past two years I've flown, that has been the case so I was assuming it's almost always the case. I'm no expert at this so again, thanks for your advise. I'll check other airlines and see if I can make my goal. It would be even greater if I could find a non-stop at a reasonable price.

And what prices are you finding now, on other carriers, besides AirTran? Are they all as high as $800 pp?

The only other one I've been checking is JetBlue. Their prices for my date have not come out yet, but I'm hoping it's not as high as AirTran. I've checked the fares for both airlines for flights leaving the end of October just to do a price comparison and for a family of 4 it would be $1219 AirTran with one stop and $1157 Jetblue nonstop. AirTran for the dates I actually need in early/mid Nov. is showing $3483. Now I'm just waiting for JetBlue to post their schedule because I really would prefer the nonstop if it's within my budget. I'm assuming they may be less expensive than Delta, Continental, etc but I could be wrong.

Airtran now have bookings open through Nov 20th. I was waiting on booking to open up thru Nov 13th. The price is $800 pp and we are a family of 4. Guess I will have to travel 1 1/2 hours to the next nearest airport and fly Jetblue if their prices sound better once they open up their bookings thru the 13th of Nov.

Airtran has posted their schedule up until Nov 2nd.

When does schedules open for AirTran for early to mid November? When I first started checking average prices last month, they were open up until beginning/mid October which is just over 7 months.

I'm looking at booking Airtran Nov 3rd - 13th. I'm almost afraid to see what the prices will be being that I had budgeted a price months ago for a family of 4 to FLL. When do they usually come out with prices for November? I'm hoping I don't have to cancel my cruise due to the airfare being too far out of my price range.

What an excellent adventure. I've been reading off and on for the past week and this is a fantastic review. My family will be on the Freedom in November so I was referred to your review and I got hooked from the first post. I must admit, unlike others, I did not shed a tear during the proposal or renewal. What got to me was post #1194 in which I began to get teary eyed. OH NO!!!!! SAY IT ISN'T OVER.

I have thoroughly enjoyed it and I wish you and your lovely family the very best.
