MrsKC08 Posted March 28, 2014 #126 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Found your review today and totally loving it! We are sailing on Indy after Thanksgiving and hoping to enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed Freedom (sailed her twice). Thanks for the great tips and beautiful photos! You have a lovely family.

Rare APDMOM Posted March 28, 2014 Author #127 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Found your review today and totally loving it! We are sailing on Indy after Thanksgiving and hoping to enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed Freedom (sailed her twice). Thanks for the great tips and beautiful photos! You have a lovely family. I'm glad I could return the favor! I read a large part of your FOS review last year. Unfortunately, we got on the ship before the end of it, but I really enjoyed it. I am bookmarking it to read the rest, since I realize I never went back to it after our cruise. I regret not writing an FOS review. There were quite a few excellent ones at that time, including yours, and I thought it would be too much repetition. However, I realize I love going back to my old reviews to relive our cruise memories :) I will not skip writing a review again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrakae Posted March 29, 2014 #130 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Two weeks to go and we will get to experience the Indy. First time on RCL, but thanks to your review I feel I will know what to expect. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time on RCL, but thanks to your review I feel I will know what to expect. Thank you. All the way from Australia! Enjoy your adventure :) Just don't buy the Quality Street or Flake on the ship - we noticed they were all outdated. I would have taken them for free, though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at that sailing too, but if we go anywhere over Thanksgiving, it will probably be from Port Canaveral or Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted March 30, 2014 #137 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thank you! I love writing the reviews - even for my personal benefit. Years down the road, when the review is buried in the pages and pages of threads, I still go back and see it as my own memories/journal :) I've done the same thing. Today I saw my notebook I keep with me on a cruise to keep notes when I'm cruising for my reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted March 30, 2014 #138 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'm jealous :) Enjoy the splurge. My best advice for this balcony... Spend as much time there as you can! I see your going back on Freedom before I go back on her for my 2nd time. You have the same cabin? I might have to think about this one as a back up to the cabin I had last time (center hump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted March 30, 2014 Author #139 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I see your going back on Freedom before I go back on her for my 2nd time. You have the same cabin? I might have to think about this one as a back up to the cabin I had last time (center hump) Not this time. The reason we can cruise 3 times this year is that we got an incredible deal on the promenade cabins for December. We paid only $369 per person and got an additional discount for Crown and Anchor members. We found out later that it had been a glitch in the system, but they honored our price since we had already paid the deposit. That was really nice of Royal! As far as hump vs. aft: The walk can be quite long from the aft, but I take that extra large balcony despite the extra walk any day! :) It is especially great when you have many sea days and you want a quiet break from the crowds and the DJ's choice of music.

Rare APDMOM Posted March 30, 2014 Author #140 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Great review and awesome pics from our sailing! Thank you for sharing! We did have a fun group, didn't we? Donna :) Thanks Donna! Yes, we had a great roll call. I was surprised that I did not run into many of them on the cruise, but I am an early to bed, early riser kind of person :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldcity Posted March 30, 2014 #142 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We have a good-size family group sailing on the Liberty in three weeks and I've never been on a Freedom-class ship, so this was a great opportunity to get a feel for what to expect. Although I'm a smaller-ship kind of person, I chose the Liberty for the family cruise because of all the extra features to Wow the grandkids.

If the ship gets too crowded, it is usually pretty quiet on deck 4. There is shuffleboard and many chairs for relaxation in the breeze outside. Enjoy your adventure! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted July 30, 2014 #148 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks for a great review. We will be sailing in an aft cabin on Indy in April 2015, so I am trying to learn all I can about her before we sail. Your tips and pictures were great. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meaclasact2 Posted August 23, 2014 #150 Share Posted August 23, 2014 We're on our first RCI cruise in 51 days on the IOS. Your terrific review has really helped. We were lucky to get a center bump cabin this time...but those AFT cabins looks very inviting! Happy cruising and thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
