Gator0178 Posted May 10, 2011 #151 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Thanks Trainman for your live post. You are helping me with my PCD:(. I was getting off the ship as you were getting on:( Keep it coming!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmf123 Posted May 10, 2011 #152 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Tonight was the First Formal Night! I had expected more of the MOAA people to be in dress uniform than there were. Many of them are older and for whatever reasons, wore Tuxes instead. Perhaps after all these years (being older), the dress uniforms were a bit snug? :o I'm sure all looked great, no matter what the formalwear tonight! Cool that Judith is a former Naval Officer! Oh, and I was thinking that the towel animal resembled something to do with a yoga pose...? :p Enjoy your sea day tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomerica Posted May 10, 2011 #153 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I have heard that. Is it still able to chill water? Not ice cold, but cool enough to be refreshing? I would like to bring a small brita pitcher with me and keep water chilled to refill my water bottle. I have heard that I can request that my room attendant remove the other stuff in the fridge.thanks! Try putting something in the door of the cabinet to keep it open about an inch or so...the cabinets don't provide sufficient ventilation for the fridge. Common across most lines from what I understand. On topic...thank you very much Trainman! I love your reviews and am happy you are asea once again. I have made my wife your signature breakfast sandwich and suffice to say I'm eternally grateful for the tip! So glad to see you at sea again, may you have smooth seas and following winds...

DarthGrady Posted May 10, 2011 #154 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I shot these photos of the FREEDOM on the way back to the ship from the island. Nice pictures, she is such a handsome ship. I still firmly believe that the Freedom Class is the nicest looking in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk2795 Posted May 10, 2011 #157 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Trainman, Thank you for taking us along with you on your cruise. You and Juding make a very nice couple. May you have many more cruises together. Can't wait to see the formal pictures. Eileen Sorry about the misspell of Judith's name - that will teach me not to type without my reading glasses.

Trainman-2 Posted May 10, 2011 Author #159 Share Posted May 10, 2011 This morning I gave PhotoBucket's "Bulk Up-loader" another try and it worked! Just over 3 minutes to upload 25 photos. I have been uploading 3 or 4 at a time because the ship's systems apparently never liked PhotoBuckets bulk up-loader. This will make it a lot easier and save a few bucks worth of Internet time at $.30/minute. I am about to head up to the Windjammer for breakfast. Judith is still asleep but I left her some coffee on the balcony in case she wakes up. The MOAA Convention starts this morning and we also have our Meet & Mingle this morning. More later...

fishteamteam Posted May 10, 2011 #161 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I have only been visiting CC for a month, but you are fast becoming my favorite poster :) I hope you have fun with your new love and am really looking forward to your updates, since I will be traveling FOS for my first cruise ever this Dec. We will be on Freedom for our first cruise in Feb. So excited and looking forward to more review! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted May 10, 2011 Author #162 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Another Excellent Breakfast in the Windjammer this morning... Perhaps a bit less than normal, but my Uniform shrunk a lot during the three years since I wore it last on a Formal Night. I am deeply concerned about one of the buttons popping off, shooting across the MDR, and seriously injuring an innocent diner. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderFaninNM Posted May 10, 2011 #163 Share Posted May 10, 2011 my Uniform shrunk a lot during the three years since I wore it last I HATE when that happens! ;) Great updates and keep it up! THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still fits into clothes he wore in high school. Secretly, I've been getting rid of some of them one by one (the kids recommended that I do this because holes were starting to magically appear :eek: ). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjmols Posted May 10, 2011 #166 Share Posted May 10, 2011 We have not tried the new automatic soft drink machine but here is a photo of it... Hi Loving your review, question re the drinks machine, is this what you need the soda card for? How does it work, how do they know you have a card? Have 3 kids and not sure if I need to buy them the soda card or not? Advice appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks<< __________________ When you buy your soda card on the 1st day of the cruise, you are given a cup. Inside the base, there is a RFID chip. You are allowed 1 refill for a time limit of 10 or 15 minutes. After the time expires, you can get another refill. The soda machine is on the port side on the pool deck. Trainman...enjoying you review. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniuh Posted May 10, 2011 #168 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Trainman, thanks for the wonderful live update. We are getting on, when you are getting off this coming weekend. Can you please tell me what complimentary toiletries are in the cabin? I can't remember if lotion is provided. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted May 10, 2011 Author #174 Share Posted May 10, 2011 We had a great Meet & Mingle this morning in the Viking Crown Lounge with a gift exchange. Judith got a Tee Shirt in her size that she likes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted May 10, 2011 Author #175 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The M&M's are always fun and it is nice to meet the people you have been posting with. I posted a number of photos of Judith and myself in our Roll Call Thread so people have been stopping us and saying "HI" since we boarded the ship.
