skohrs Posted March 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I will attempt to post pictures and answer some questions while aboard this week. This is not exactly going to be a trip report, but if you have any questions you would like me to find out for you I will try to do so. We are just arriving at the ship at 10:30 AM.

nivek82 Posted March 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Inn on onboard as well. Good we were able to start early but no so good is no elevators working. WJ is the most empty I've ever seen it. I think they are going to test out a new elevator package on this cruise. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leosmom08 Posted March 18, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm looking forward to your review as we may be on FOS exactly a year from now. I'm curious about the number of kids on board due to spring break and what that means for pools, wait times, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was debating whether I should, but I think I would rather follow your thread. I am afraid I would focus so much on CC that I will miss the cruise in the process...

MNelson486 Posted March 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Can you post information on what the young teens have going on? 11-14? I would like to convince my daughter she should go there and hang out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaedcruise Posted March 18, 2017 #17 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm looking forward to your review as we may be on FOS exactly a year from now. I'm curious about the number of kids on board due to spring break and what that means for pools, wait times, etc. We will be on Freedom in exactly one year as well.... sailing 3/17/18.... Good question too - we are taking my retired parents on their first ever cruise and I am wondering if there will be a lot of kids as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skohrs Posted March 18, 2017 Author #23 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Can you post information on what the young teens have going on? 11-14? I would like to convince my daughter she should go there and hang out! I posted the Teen Compass for the week in an earlier post. We have my 14-year-old daughter and her best friend with us. It is only 3pm and they are already riding Flow Rider. I'll ask them how they like it and let you know (if we see them again before the cruise is over). They said there are over 4,200 onboard for this Spring Break cruise. Lots of kids and teens. My wife is a teacher and has already seen 2 former students in the first 2 hours onboard.
