geauxgirlgeaux Posted February 16, 2015 #404 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hey there! Looks like you are having a great time! I do have a question if not too much trouble. We are interested in the Mystery Dinner Theatre. Our family went last year on Jewel of the Seas and even though it was corny we had a great time. We would like to go again on our upcoming cruise - March 22 - however Royal cannot tell me what the show is! I do know it is on the first night in Portofino, does the Compass have the name/subject of the show? Don't really want to see the same show twice. :rolleyes: Thanks for all your postings! Just reading them has gotten me really excited for our upcoming week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reading them has gotten me really excited for our upcoming week! We're sailing together! I had wanted to do the mystery dinner too but RCI's website only had it listed for our first night? Do they only offer this once? Robyn, you are the absolute best! Thank you again for posting live. If you have a chance can you take a picture of the suite pool seating area. Also, I can't find much information on the spa. Have you been? Is there a facial you can recommend? Any pictures? Enjoy your evening at sea.

You missed another freeze-your-a$$ off day at home. I'm glad you made it to the M & M. How many is that now? 3/26?:D Fun prize. Enjoy your day at Labadee. Take lots of cabana pictures. No flights yet.:p:eek::rolleyes: Miss you! <3 Edited February 17, 2015 by Shar27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiman Posted February 17, 2015 #407 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Robyn, I would be interested in knowing how the situation with mosquitoes is in Labadee tomorrow, if you have time, as I have heard mixed things about that port. Just wondering how many precautions we should be taking, if we should get the malaria prevention medicine. I was just at Labadee last week no bugs on me or my wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drueter Posted February 17, 2015 #408 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I saw a post of a starbucks frappucino. Is that included in any of the drink packages on Freedom RCI? Edited February 17, 2015 by drueter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted February 17, 2015 #410 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I saw a post of a starbucks frappucino. Is that included in any of the drink packages on Freedom RCI? They serve the Starbucks products at cafe promenade. It is included in the Royal Replenish package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted February 17, 2015 #411 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Robyn, glad you're enjoying your first sea day. Love the pictures. :D I look forward to seeing your pictures of the over-the-water cabanas at Labadee. I have one reserved through the concierge for my upcoming Liberty cruise, although I have no idea which one we'll be assigned. (sorry if I'm repeating myself...lots of "plates on sticks" here at home.) Thanks again for doing the live review. We feel like we're cruising along with you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpoole3 Posted February 17, 2015 #412 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks for sharing! Believe it or not, I've actually never sailed on the Freedom. I'll be trying her out for the first time this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 17, 2015 #413 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The first thing I did this morning was check but Freedom has not reported a postion since 7:30 last night. when you run into the captain tell him I am not happy.;) Well, here she was at around 5:30 PM yesterday. Our location is about a mile south of Ron Jon's in Cocoa Beach. What we need is a group of spotters to report on her movements. My Cuban grandfather was a spotter in the Caribbean for the US Navy in WW2. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckrobyn Posted February 17, 2015 Author #421 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Tomorrow is Labadee and I will be posting later in the afternoon. There will be many pictures and commentary. The cruise compass tonight promises sunny skies and 92 degree temps. Who loves Labadee???? ME! See you all tomorrow, LIVE from the Freedom of the Seas!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted February 17, 2015 #425 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I looked at Nassau, but I'm not sure of the Freedom's route. Sometimes the ship's superstructure blocks signal to a particular station, or another ship between the ship and station can block. Also, larger ports have higher AIS towers than smaller ports, so coverage can vary. It is odd that she has been out of coverage, would like to see when she pops up around the T&C. Still no sign of the ship since leaving Port Canaveral. Talk about stealth!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
