JeffHatfield Posted July 15, 2010 #127 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Omg, Awesome! Did you guys hear the singing from the atrium all night long too? I hope not! It was horrible! No, our cabin was just far enough back that we didn't get it, but my sister did in cabin 7274. You could hear it as you got off the elevator, but after we made the turn to our cabin we couldn't hear it anymore.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They performed well, it's just we didn't want to hear it at 1 or 2 am! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacruisin Posted July 16, 2010 #133 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Excellent job on the review and the pics were incredible! We just got off the Freedom this past Sunday with the Western Carribbean itinerary (Cozumel, Costa Rica, and Panama) and we enjoyed our cruise also! And like you we had rain following us just the entire way! We still had fun though! I have to agree that Eddie Capone had me crying...he's extremely funny! :D Oh yeah, I participated in the Hip Hop dance class and my DW thoroughly enjoyed laughing at me! The Freedom is a beautiful ship but a little confusing in the layout! I look forward to your review of the Triumph...that was the very first ship we every cruised on! Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadypacked Posted July 16, 2010 #135 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Day 4 continued After shopping, we were brought back to the ship for an hour to drop off our things and change. So, we went to the lido deck for lunch (which was Caribbean). We went back out to the taxi (where the driver was late once again), and were driven to Magen's Bay. Now, I have been to Magen's Bay before on the Disney Cruise I took several years ago and it has changed greatly! The water used to be so pretty and blue, and now it's kind of murky blue. The beach has turned into an overcrowded and dirty area. Within minutes of being there, we were ready to leave. up next: pictures of Magen's Bay Just a thought....Looking at your photos of Magen's Bay, the sky seems a bit overcast. We went to Magen's Bay in '05 and sky conditions were similar, making the water seem kind of murky looking as you described. However, recently, I have seen pictures of Magen's under crystal clear skies and full sunshine, and the water looked pretty and blue as you mention. I live in South Florida and have noticed that the appearance of the ocean changes under overcast or even partially overcast skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in South Florida and have noticed that the appearance of the ocean changes under overcast or even partially overcast skies. I would also add that, depending on the currents on a given day, sediment and other variables can contribute to the "cloudiness" of the water. I grew up at the southern New Jersey shore, which has "murky, grey looking" water. But, occasionally (once every year or so), I'd walk down to the beach and the water was a flat calm and clear blue where I could see my feet if in waist deep water. My point is that the ocean is fluid and ever-changing at every locale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britbrie Posted July 17, 2010 Author #137 Share Posted July 17, 2010 You guys could be right! Thanks for pointing this out... but the over all look to the beach and buildings was very dilapidated compared to previous times I visited. Thanks!

Island Crazed Posted January 2, 2011 #139 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Basically we are booked on ths cruise for 2011. We sail 6/18. I am worried about the weather. It was not good for you all at all. :( I guess that you never know though. For some reason they have dropped the San Jaun stop from ours. Another :(.

shay30 Posted July 16, 2011 #141 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Day 1 Continued For lunch the first day, I ate some chicken marsala, rosemary potatoes, the infamous potato salad, and a roll. Too many carbs, but I was on a cruise so who cares! :p Here are some views of the Freedom restaurant: After lunch, we decided to go around the ship and take some quick pictures before everything got too crowded. The first place I wanted to check out was the Serenity area. I am not much of a sunbather, because as a redhead I get sunburnt so easily... so this area did not really appeal to me. However, it was nice that they had hammocks and the area overall was really nice. Day 1 to be continued... That potato salad is Sooooo good.

jmcancruise Posted July 16, 2011 #143 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks so much for your amazing review. As you can see below we have a long time to wait till our Freedom cruise, so a little taste of what is to come is always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighterone Posted July 16, 2011 #144 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thank you for a fabulous review. I hung on your every word and scrutinized every picture, especially the "food porn". Have a wonderful time on Triumph, next week. We have a roll call for the October 15th cruise on this ship and one of our sailors, Jarand, asked the following questions on post #43. If you have the time and would like to investigate, could you take a peek at his questions and post your reply when you get back? Here they are. We can all benefit from your answers. Thanks again Does anyone know: ~The front observation decks on 7 & 9 are both accessible to everyone, correct? ~There appear to be some obstructions or walls on the Deck 7 forward observation deck. Can you walk from starboard to port on it? ~Are the Deck 9 Lido front views significantly better than 7? Is the Lido front deck usually crowded? ~Any experience with just how loud the forward rooms can be on the Lido deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted January 25, 2013 #147 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It seems like you had a lot of complaints about the Freedom but I guess it is all what you make out of it. I am so excited to cruise on the Freedom :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
