If you can swing it, I'd get the extra cabin. I haven't been on the Freedom, but my husband and I went on a 7-day cruise on the NOS a few years back when our kids were 18 and 21. We had a balcony cabin and they had an inside promenade room right across the hall. It worked out great. They stayed out later than we did and slept in longer than we did and everyone had some breathing room. Our trip wouldn't have been as enjoyable if we'd all been in one cabin.

We have a hump balcony which I thought would give us a little more room. But if it's a more limited menu, then we might just order a snack for the balcony and go to a restaurant or MDR for dinner.

On Oasis, can room service be ordered for all meals? We are in a balcony room, not a suite.

My cruise is 7 months out (Oasis in January 2015). When i try to make reservations for shows or dining, I get the message on the website that it is too far in advance. So the timing must not be consistent for all sailings.

We are driving to Fort Lauderdale for our 7-night cruise and will have 2 bikes (locked) on our bike carrier on the back of the van. Is there any hotel with parking that is monitored 24/7? If we can fit the bikes inside the van we will but we will have some luggage that is for our next destination after the cruise.

Can restaurant reservations be made on Oasis prior to sailing if my cruise booking is through RCCL direct and not a TA?

I've never sailed Celebrity but am planning a cruise next winter. I can reserve room 2107 which has an angled balcony and is near the fitness center. I plan to use the fitness center and Persian Gardens but don't necessarily need to be right next to it. Is there any downside to rooms in this area?
