MrFunInTheSun Posted November 18, 2012 Author #151 Share Posted November 18, 2012 enjoyed your review very much. have always said if the ship stopped in Jamaca I would stay on ship but after seeing your pictures of the plantation excursion may just have to change my mind. thank you for taking the time to do this review.:) Jamaica is way to beautiful to stay on the ship. I never once felt unsafe in Ocho's Rio's. The Plantation excursion was most diffidently worth it! Very cool! I'd say you're getting pretty good at these "LIVE" reviews ;) :) Thanks Bugsy. As you know with your "Live" cruise reports they are fun to do. Looking forward to my next cruise and "Live" report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFunInTheSun Posted November 18, 2012 Author #152 Share Posted November 18, 2012 We had six people almost get left behind in Ocho Rios, they were very lucky. We were delayed in leaving port by about 10 minutes. Check out the video of them running below.

MrFunInTheSun Posted November 18, 2012 Author #153 Share Posted November 18, 2012 This guy has one of the best jobs. Goes out daily and anchors and watches over the Sting Ray observation area. Waters are so beautiful out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funinthesun1964 Posted November 19, 2012 #155 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Looked for I Made on the lido deck. In the mean time one day I believe it was for lunch I was in the Posh dining room and the head waiter was named I Made. I said, hey do you serve drinks also on the lido deck? I heard about you. He's like no, that's my brother. I said your brother? Your brother has the same first name? He said yes, we just have different last names. Must be how they do their names in his country. At first I didn't believe him and that he was messing with me, but then as we spoke more, he was being serious. Anyways I never did find "I Made" on the lido deck. :rolleyes: lol well at least you tried, and that's funny about his brother. Too bad also that you didn't get that serbian waiter for sweetcurves. She really would have appreciated that.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyfrazee Posted November 21, 2012 #158 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hey funinthesun1964, I was on this cruise as well and may have sat behind you in the steakhouse! Were you wearing a black shirt with flowers or some graphics on the back? I figured I would see you again during the cruise and would speak but didn't see that person again.

MrFunInTheSun Posted November 22, 2012 Author #160 Share Posted November 22, 2012 No it wasn't me. I didn't go to the steakhouse on my Freedom cruise. I didn't eat in the steak house during this cruise either since I did Chefs table. I wanted to, but I was having such good meals and such in the dining room, I felt it'd be a waste. The steak house is really good though, I plan on it on another cruise that has a steak house since it's doubtful I'd do the Chefs table again.

All subject to change from week to week though. The boat ride we took from the shore to Rum Point wasn't to bad, no one complained about the boat rocking to much or anything else like that. To me it was just normal. These were the seas we had on that boat ride. Not bad. Have a great cruise and fun time in Cayman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomonster Posted December 3, 2012 #173 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Silly question but on the plantation tour did they have bathrooms on the grounds? Kids ...always have to know where the potties are. Love your review can't wait 6 days till we are all aboard the Freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFunInTheSun Posted December 3, 2012 Author #174 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Silly question but on the plantation tour did they have bathrooms on the grounds? Kids ...always have to know where the potties are. Love your review can't wait 6 days till we are all aboard the Freedom. Pretty sure I remember seeing little bath places in a couple spots along the trolley ride itself but don't quote me on that. I do know for sure though there is one at the plantation house itself. So at the halfway point of the trolly ride they can do their business. Several people on our trolly did just that. This tour I highly recommend though, minus the ultimate beach portion.
