Clarea Posted September 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Marquee is the "big" show. Typical cruise ship production show. No pre-cruise reservations for any entertainment on Freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips or suggestions? We have been to all the ports before, so will likely do our own thing. Did you do anything in particular that you would highly recommend? Just booked 2 days ago so still in the planning stage for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just booked 2 days ago so still in the planning stage for us... I totally recommend renting a golf cart from Bonaire Cruisers. A unique and fun way to explore the island on your own. The shows onboard were pretty good, especially Marquee and the comedian. The specialty restaurants did not disappoint. This was our first time trying Sabor which we all really enjoyed. Also, Noronha at the R Bar makes the best margaritas (and blue margaritas!). Enjoy your cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are doing Southern Caribbean out of San Juan very soon...just booked. It's a 7 day I believe I read there are three. We are doing the same cruise for 11/10/19. I packed semi formal - cocktail dress and dress slacks. My guys will have dress slacks and nice shirts, but no jacket. It's not as super formal as people think. Our last cruise was 6/96 on NCL, but I remember the attire as I took a Lot of photos! :) * I don't want to be OT, b/c I don't know where to post, but i would like to know the price of alcoholic drinks if you buy them at the pool and such. We're not forking out nearly $1K/pp to drink Coke all day. I'm actually bringing those drink sticks for the guys to pour into water.

Not sure about individual beer prices, but I recall people getting the buckets of beer bottles for a cheapish price.

I learned something from Sanjay - he says that officially, the cut off is 9 nights or more - supposed to have 3 formals - in practice it seems most of the time it's 13 nights or more when one can expect 3 formals.

It's typically on the second formal night on US based cruises, which usually varies between night 5 and 6, depending on itinerary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember that pricing from so long ago.. ironically, this cruise we are taking on 11/10 pricing is just the SAME as it was in 1996. The only difference is the airfare. Would be interested in speaking w/the other Washington family that is going on the very same trip/date ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
