Live from the Freedom of the Seas 8 Day Sailing - Dec 10, 2016

[Kcjarvis]

First drink of the cruise - Torched cherry frozen Mojito

 

 

Cold and rainy????

 

 

Is this Port Everglades or Port Liberty Bayonne???

 

 

Luggage arrived at 3pm. No problem bringing a case of water

 

[Kcjarvis]

A quick muster, then back to the room for the parade of ships sailing away...

 

A damn ship

 

 

Tugboat

 

 

The Flagship looking majestic!!!!!

 

 

 

The Royal Princess

 

 

Then us...

Mr Jarvis, do you have enough magnets on that door?:D I think you have added two from your last cruise. Those were some great cabin food gifts. I need shrimp delivered to the cabin as a gift. :)

Good bye Florida

 

 

Made the lounge circuit - DL was crowded, but the CL had seats available, then Wind jam air for dinner and The Welcome Aboard Show

 

[Kcjarvis]

A busy day at sea

 

 

The NCL Elude went speeding by us

 

 

Cuba in the background

 

 

We slept through the Meet & Mingle, oh well, no more keychains

 

 

We did attend the Suite brunch.

 

 

Who are we dining with???

 

[LuCruise]

OMG...that room for a ship! I'm jealous (but in a good way). Enjoy!

[Kcjarvis]

Formal night dinner at Chops

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Kcjarvis]

Off to the casino

 

 

 

Had no luck, dropped $60 in 6 mins. Time to go to dancing in Olive or Twist

 

 

Then adult comedy - very funny!!!!

 

 

Looks like someone is missing a bag

 

 

Goodnight

 

[Kcjarvis]

Woke up sailing up the coast of Haiti

 

 

We were able to see the Citadelle Laferrière in the distance.

 

 

If you aren't familiar, I recommend googling this amazing historical structure.

 

 

 

 

Good morning Labadee

 

[Kcjarvis]

The welcome parade

 

 

Then off to Chops for the gold card breakfast - sorry for the blurry menu

 

 

 

Then off the ship

 

 

 

[Kcjarvis]

Jumped in golf cart to barefoot beach

 

 

 

We had our favorite over the water cabana.

 

 

 

 

What do you think that is?????

 

[Kcjarvis]

Barefoot Beach was packed

 

 

Lunch - jerk chicken, hand made burgers, shrimp, rice and beans, corn and a bunch of other stuff - sorry no food porn

 

After a great beach day, we made our way back for a 3:30pm all aboard.

 

 

 

 

 

Good bye Labadee

I don't remember ever seeing it before on our approach to Labadee. I've always wanted to explore it so badly. I love going through fortresses.

It's to the west of Labadee. It has to be a clear day.

Hey, Ken.

 

Great review! I can't seem to catch you live on Periscope, some of us have to work you know, :D . Great pics!

[Ocean Boy]

And caves :rolleyes:

 

The underground tunnels are the best parts of the forts.

If I am not mistaken, your next cruise has a few opportunities to explore some forts......

[bobmacliberty]

What do you think that is?????

 

 

I'm gonna take a wild guess...Labadoozie? :D

 

Your cup looks a lot better on that railing than it does in my kitchen cabinet.

[Ainslie757]

What phone are you using to take these pictures? They are really clear and crisp.

Ken, interesting to see the ship docked on the land side of the pier. I have never seen that before. That being said we have been there on Oasis Class ships 99% of the time and Indy once. We were the only ship when Indy was in port and we docked on the ocean side of the pier. We have never been there when two ships were in port.

Loving your review with the amazing pictures!

 

Not even a month since I left the ship and seems like forever. :(

 

Thanks for taking me back!:D

[melissagohard]
