Live From Freedom 9/11/2016

[Ander026]

Last night I went to the Top Tear event in the Star Lounge. Nothing really excited happened during this event.

 

 

Then it was off to Dinner where it was very good. After dinner I spent some time in the Concierge Lounge before the show

 

Went to the Drew Thomas show this evening. Another good magic show this evening

 

 

 

 

After the show I went to the 80's Dance Party and then the Battle of the Sexes in Studio B. Lots of great 80's music this evening.

 

 

After the shows, it was time to retire as I had another towel animal waiting for me.

Well I am now caught up to today. We did not get into port till almost 1000. Since I was Diamond Plus they had a special seating area at Giovani's Grill which is next to Windjammer. What a view I had at breakfast

 

 

After breakfast I headed down to Deck 4 to watch us back into port

 

 

 

Here is a view of the pool that is at Margaritaville.

 

 

Here is another pic of what I think is the government building in Falmouth

 

 

Well it is time for lunch then to head out to the port.

Onboard now also. I had requested mattress toppers ahead of time but they weren't On beds. We have a room steward that just started on the Freedom this week. We are in the Royal Family Suite. I don't like to keep asking for things but we're struggling with him. I asked him for a topper & he put on a "pad". Helps a little but not much. He has no idea how to do much On this ship. Asked for a blanket first & second day. Still dont have one. He doesn't bring ice until we ask. We asked him to empty the fridges and still hasn't done that. He gave us one small squeeze tube of "good" shampoo that we used up the second day. He hasn't given us any more. And....we keep getting the neighbors mail.

 

I don't like to keep asking for things that I think should be part of "regular" stateroom duties, let alone a suite. Granted, he is new to this ship. But I'd think he could find out how to do things.

Still enjoying the ship!!!!!!

 

Also wonder what Alpha Alpha Alpha was!!!

We were on the Freedom in August. If your stateroom attendant is new to the ship, there should be a supervisor near by (at least that was our experience) I would make your request to him with the supervisor present. If he is unsure what to do, that will help him also get the information and your request should be fulfilled.

[laginog]

We have only seen him alone. He did go to "training" one day.

Good Morning to all from the Freedom,

 

Well yesterday in Falmouth I went ashore to check out the shops and meet friends at Margaritaville for a drink. We got back to the ship as the rain started. To help with not waiting in the rain they only let a few thru shoreside security so there was not a line to get on the ship.

 

That night I ate in Chops and had another great meal. After that went to trivia and our team scored a 15. Finally went played some mini golf and finished the night in Olive or Twist.

 

Today I am about to shower then head to breakfast. Around 1000, I plan on getting the tender and heading to shore.

 

I will get pics uploaded later today.

[Colatiger]

Someone mentioned in another thread that their waiter said the Freedom would be moving to the new menus in the dining room on 9/14. Are you getting the new menus?

Good Afternoon,

 

I am planning on doing a Live @ on Harmony in Feb. I am also going to try on Oasis in November as well. Getting ready to get my Dec 2017 cruise before I get off. It will be Dec 4th out of FLL on Serenade. It has a nice 11 day Itinerary.

Ahh, we are going to miss you next year. We will be on the Allure, Dec 10th. As will be Bonnie and Brian. But the 11 day Serenade is a great trip. I do love Aruba. Will you also go to Bonaire? Great place to snorkel.

Welcome to a great day in Grand Caymen

 

 

We arrived in Grand Cayman in the morning. The Carnival Dream was already here when we arrived

 

 

After we started tendering the Carnival Sensation arrived

 

 

I went ashore around 1100 to walk around town. Here is a view from the back of the tender

 

 

Found this waterslide. Anyone know where this is? I already know lets see how your knowledge is.

 

 

Got back on board as the clouds started to gather for their afternoon meeting

 

 

Later I will post more. After this post heading to the CL for a drink and then dinner.

[Ander026]

Once back on board I had lunch and took a little break in my stateroom before I went out to deck 4 to check out sail a way.

 

This tender was waiting to pull the mid gang plank so we can leave. Foreward gangplank was already pulled and door closed.

 

 

There ended up being 6 guests left to report back to the ship. It took 2 tenders to deliver the last 6 guests. 4 guests on one tender and 2 on the last tender

 

 

After the mid gang plank was pulled and door closed the tenders made there way back to the dock

 

 

Good thing the we were on our way as there was a pirate ship in the area

 

 

Thankfully they were going to the Carnival Dream

 

 

After all of that it was time to get ready for dinner as it was Formal night again. Had a good dinner then wound up for a post drink in the CL. After that I came out and went out to the top deck to capture one of the great shots I can think of.

 

 

Well later tonight I will be heading to the Quest.

[Big Kahuna D]

Thanks to all for the great pics and descriptions of your FOTS voyage, we'll be heading out on her soon so it was great to see and boosts the excitement!

[Ander026]

Well tonight was the Quest. The Quest took place in Studio B. It was a full house for this evening's event.

 

 

 

 

Then it was time for the White Night Pool Party. It was a well attended party as the dance floor between the pools was full.

 

 

 

Then it was time to turn in as we are in Cozumel tomorrow morning at 1000. Also came home to another towel animal.

 

 

Well Good Night to all till tomorrow.
