Glad I’m in my 30s and have many years to enjoy it. I'm so glad they left it there on 14 on Freedom. It's downstairs in the old cigar lounge/library on some other ships (Voyager, Navigator). LOVING this review. Keep it coming! I'm on in October! Edited August 19, 2022 by Crism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 20, 2022 Author #53 Share Posted August 20, 2022 After dinner did a quick walk downstairs to the promenade. Ds was getting tired so just a short time down there and now back to our room for bed. im no elitist but I really thought a 50$ tip would yield hand soap turns out I was mistaken. No hand soap in our bathroom still, rather disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 20, 2022 Author #54 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Chips ended up being great. Usually it’s a long wait day one but we had our food so quickly. I did redeem the ds vouchers for red bulls not sure we will drink them but we got them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a WJ enthusiast and early riser, this is what I am accustomed to. It gets crowded later on. It can be very peaceful for dinner too, especially if you don't get there the second it opens at 6pm or whatever. Even if we eat dinner elsewhere, we like to wander through the WJ afterwards just to check out the desserts and anything else interesting. You never know when you might stumble upon a crepe station, special chocolate night spread, etc. Food is a big part of my cruising if you couldn't tell, lol. P.S. Hope your son didn't get into the red bulls. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 20, 2022 Author #60 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Ok so cruising solo dad and not gambling took more out of me than a booze filled gambling trip with adults. I selfishly downed two redbull a this morning just to keep up. splash away bay is beyond fantastic my son is loving it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 20, 2022 Author #61 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Adults can go down the slides. This place really is awesome: I’m sure it’s going to be backed later, but we got 3 chairs and an umbrella so we’re set. Close to a bar as well… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DeerJod Posted August 20, 2022 Author #63 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Water is 2feet deep after the slides, life jackets are here and free. ds had an oh crap moment when he came down too fast and went under, he stood up after a moment of freaking out and has been good being more aware of his surroundings on subsequent slide rides, there’s a great life guard presence but that’s no substitute for watching your kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go past the hammocks, IIRC. Edited August 20, 2022 by OCSC Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DeerJod Posted August 20, 2022 Author #71 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Coco cay was amazing, my son absolutely loved every minute on the island and was a little sad to head back to the ship for some quiet time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DeerJod Posted August 20, 2022 Author #73 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Fruit plate compliments of the key, and my ingenious solution to keeping Champaign fresh. I got two bottles of champagne (really just sparkling wine) last night from next cruise for booking onboard, I gave one to a couple from Utah that were doing their first ever cruise and just cracked open the other bottle. I’m not planning on drinking the whole thing, so I poured the rest into a water bottle for the fridge. I didn’t realize Champaign and pee Have such a similar color. 10/10 chance the stateroom attendant will think I’m refrigerating urine.
