Folk Singer Posted August 23, 2014 #152 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) 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! Happy Cruising to you and enjoy the IOS. She is a great ship. I like all the RCCL Ships we have been on. The Aft Cabins are fun and we enjoyed our time in one on the IOS.

jayblue Posted August 23, 2014 #153 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU (!) for your review! Every time I read a review of the Freedom Class ships it puts me a little closer to my February 2015 trip on the Liberty, which will be my first solo. I loved your review of the spa, which I've been a little wishy-washy about using this time (last time I had a manicure done and was delighted!). I will make sure I go to the seminar so I can get that discount. I, too, am an early riser and selected a cabin relatively close to the Promenade Café so that I can beeline there every morning for coffee. I'm going to bookmark your post as a favorite on my cell. You've offered some valuable tips. I don't know that I'll be posting a review here when I do go, but fully expect to have one for my family (as they've heard nothing but the word "cruise" from me since I started planning in May).

OnlineMom Posted January 9, 2015 #158 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks so much for this review and the beautiful pictures! I spent much of today reading through all of your posts... We've sailed the Monarch, Mariner and are huge fans of Oasis and Allure but will be on the Independence (same itinerary as yours - in a GS and connecting balcony for the kids) for the first time in about 3 months!

missemo12345 Posted January 25, 2015 #162 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thank you for your wonderful review could you tell me the loungers on Adrenaline beach could they be reserved? or is it a first come basis? I was also wondering what is the fee for the lounger? Any help would be helpful... Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted January 26, 2015 Author #164 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thank you for your wonderful review could you tell me the loungers on Adrenaline beach could they be reserved? or is it a first come basis? I was also wondering what is the fee for the lounger? Any help would be helpful... Thank you so much. The loungers are free and could unfortunately not be reserved. At the time of our Indy cruise in March, Adrenaline beach was very empty - with many available loungers. We were in Labadee again this past December. I was surprised at how busy Adenaline beach was this time around. There were still plenty of loungers and it is still my favorite "free" spot at Labadee. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shermcruiser Posted February 22, 2015 #168 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Another tip I learned on CC is to take magnets to hang things on the walls. It helps to keep the clutter off the desk and table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
