Ander026 Posted September 16, 2016 Author #76 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Welcome to Cozumel, It is Independence Day here in Cozumel. I have not decided to go ashore or not. If I do it will be after lunch at 1200. Coming in Liberty was already docked. This first picture is a bit foggy due to my camera lens went from AC to Heat. Here is the back of Liberty as we back into our parking spot. Here is Liberty basking in the morning sun Here is the dock that we are sharing with Liberty at the International Pier Coming right behind us was the Carnival Dream p The Dream parked at Carnival's newer dock in Cozumel. I will try and get some pics of Liberty's new slides and post later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander026 Posted September 16, 2016 Author #77 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Well after I left you I went to get some pics of Liberty. Here is a view looking into the port. On Liberty they put the mini golf on Deck 13 forward. A view of Liberty looking back toward the Viking Crown Lounge A view of one of the new water attraction where the Wipe Out Bar used to be The best view I can get of the new water slides where the mini golf used to be Here is a view of how the scrubbers are going to look upon completion. It looks like they are on both sides of the funnel. Which means it looks like the Diamond Lounge lost their outside seating. Notice how both Logos are now angled toward the front. Well now its time to wander around the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scurvy Pirate Posted September 16, 2016 #79 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I will be on FOS in 9 days. Do you know if they are using the "new" menus or still using the "old" ones? Formal night still on night 2 and 5? Trying to anticipate when to go to the specialty restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATG Posted September 16, 2016 #80 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Formal nights were 2 and 5. We have had the old menus this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander026 Posted September 17, 2016 Author #81 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I am glad someone knows the menus old vs new because I have no clue Well I am back from walking around the port. One thing for sure it was very hot out this afternoon. Got off the ship and took this shot. Freedom is to the left and Liberty is to the right.

Ander026 Posted September 18, 2016 Author #88 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Good evening to all, Well today was the last sea day. I ended up being very busy today. I had the Studio B tour which was excellent. Followed by the Black Jack Tournament where I placed 2nd. This was the first time that I placed. After that then it was just enough time to eat lunch before it was time for the Bridge Tour. After all of that I relaxed then went swimming before dinner. Once dinner was done I went to the CL for the last time. Then it was off to the show with was always great then finally back to the room to pack for tomorrow Sorry no pics on this post. I will post the remaining pics tomorrow when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetrail Posted September 18, 2016 #92 Share Posted September 18, 2016 There have been reports of hard/uncomfortable mattresses. Also, reports of requesting a foam topper from special needs with success and failure. I would say the mattress quality is somewhat subjective.Did a B2B recently on Freedom and the mattresses were great, slept like a baby.....K.O.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander026 Posted September 19, 2016 Author #99 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Good Morning to all. What a great cruise this past week. Sorry for the late post but did not get to it till now. Yesterday when I got back I started laundry and ended up taking a nap on the couch before winding up at Hollywood Studios to meet up with my Sister and her boy friend. Before I head into my final thoughts let me catch you up on the final day and half of the cruise. Let's go back and look at the evening of Day 6. Day 6: Evening After leaving Cozumel I decided that I wanted to head to Windjammer for Dinner. After dinner and the CL it was time to head to Studio B for the Ice show Next 2 pics are off the Ice Show: Freedom Ice.com Then it was 70's Disco Party on the Royal Promenade The Freedom Men dancing on the sky bridge The crew of the Freedom still having a great time at the party Came home that evening to find another towel animal Next post will be day 7 at sea as I work to wrap up this Live @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander026 Posted September 19, 2016 Author #100 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Good afternoon all, We are still looking back 2 days ago as we are at Sea now heading back to Port Canaveral This day ended up being very busy for me and it will take 2 posts to complete this day. After breakfast I went to Studio B for the behind the scenes tour. It was a great tour, learned that the remake the ice every 6 months. After that tour was over I headed up to the Casino for the Black Jack Tournament. I did very well on my final hand in round one as I bet 500 which was the max and ended up with a BJ. finished with 15050. That was good enough to get to the final table without having to do another buy-in. At the final table I did well again and placed 2nd in the Tournament. This was the first time that I placed in the Black Jack Tournament in all my cruises I went from there to the Bridge tour with a very quick stop at Windjammer. After getting cleared by security it was off to the Bridge Here is the Captain of the Freedom as he greeted us as we entered The nerve center of the Bridge on Freedom A view of the Wing controls A view looking down the side of Freedom A view of looking ahead Sea Day to be continued . . . . . . . .
