Love all the pics! I love your wife/girlfriends palm tree necklace. I'm hoping margaritaville is open by the time we sail on the Freedom in August!

I thought it was better than the regular red stripe, had no idea it existed, but the Margaritaville bar had it.

Right off the bat I wanna say shame on me. I didn't take many pics in grand cayman, I took mostly video:( so I will post what I have. Everything else after will be ship related.

 

Me being silly

Thank you so much for this review and all of the pics! They are great and it looks like you both had an amazing time! We sail on the Freedom in 18 days(who's counting?!?:D) and can't wait! These pics are helping pass the time.

 

Did you happen to save cruise compasses that you can post? Thanks!

Ok so I'm gonna wrap this up with some pics of the ship. Saturday we woke up to simply horrible weather. Poring rain, lightning, thunder. My thought was aweeeeesome, let's get out and shoot some pics:)

 

Here was the view off our balcony Sat morning.

 

 

Our cabin

 

 

This was thought with the lighting

 

 

A little better

Love these things, they are all over and very convenient and easy to use

 

 

Random shot

 

 

Champagne anyone??

 

 

Yummmmmmmmo

 

[skyking]

I liked this one a lot

 

 

Starbucks coffee has replaced seattles best, just a note the bags of beans I saw them poring in the machine in the diamond lounge were still Seattle best beans.

 

 

 

Something interesting, the blond is 1 of only 20 workers from the USA. The others are dancers

Love it! Can't wait for my turn!

[skyking]

Love it! Can't wait for my turn!

 

Glad you like the pics, I wish I took more, but I ended up shooting more HD video:( go figure!!!

[Coolcruise02]

I think that they offer Starbucks for the premium coffee drinks (espresso, latté, etc.), but still use Seattle's Best Coffee for regular drip coffee.

I can't believe we only have 17 days, but it always seems like the last few days take forever to pass!! Time can slow down once we get on the Freedom but until then it needs to speed up the pace....I need a vacation!!!!:D

Great job with the pics...I was following Live for a while and was enjoying it. Thanks for your transparency.

Skyking....amazing review. I will be going on the FOS 5/13...since you were just on the ship..here's my question.( I know I will get flack from some of the CC writers)

SMOKING...on the pooldeck there are tables and chairs up against the windws...do they allow smoking at these tables, on the proper side of the ship of course...

DH and his guy friends enjoy their cigars and playing cards and prior to the smoking rules being changed, they enjoyed most of the cruise hours there!

Please advise...as it will be a HUGE deal if they can't smoke and play cards there.

Unless something has changed since my last cruise on Freedom (Oct. 2011), the starboard side of the ship on the pool deck was the smoking side and I do recall seeing a gentleman smoking a cigar one day at one of the tables next to the windows you speak of.

Enjoying your pictures and enjoyed your live review. We board a week from tomorrow. Boy do we need this cruise!! Bet you two did too with a young baby (girl or boy?). It will be awhile before DD & SIL cruise with us again. They have 5 month old triplet boys but will check out baby and tot programs.
