Rare manders175 Posted May 11, 2023 Author #26 Share Posted May 11, 2023 After dinner we went to the Production Show: Marquee in the Royal Theatre. If you love Broadway type shows, Go!! It was a compilation of songs from Broadway including Phantom, Cabaret, and more. These singers and dancers are really talented! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 12, 2023 Author #27 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Day 3! We were in Nassau today. We decided to stay on the ship as we have been to Nassau several times. Here are some Nassau pics from our balcony. Edited May 12, 2023 by manders175 Picture upside down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare manders175 Posted May 12, 2023 Author #30 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Solarium Pool on Deck 11 is Adults only. There is a hot tub on each side that hangs over the ship with incredible views! The last pic is looking down from deck 12 into the solarium hot tub area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 12, 2023 Author #31 Share Posted May 12, 2023 At the back of Deck 13 is the Flowrider, Perfect Storm water slides, sports court, and the Rock Climbing Wall. We didn't really spend time here but a super fun area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 12, 2023 Author #32 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Night #3 was Caribbean Night in the Main Dining Room. Finally remembered to get some food pictures! I had the Coconut Shrimp. They were not jumbo ship nor could I taste any coconut. Basically tasted like fried shrimp. Definitely edible but no coconut taste at all. My main course was the Roasted Caribbean Chicken. Plate had 2 thighs and was very good. No complaints. For dessert had the Pineapple Sunshine Cake. Very good. Would get again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 12, 2023 Author #33 Share Posted May 12, 2023 After dinner we headed up to Freedom Dunes for a little friendly golf competition! It was dark out so I went back up during the next day to take some pics. No elevators go to 13 in the front of the ship so up to 12 then up the steps to 13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare manders175 Posted May 13, 2023 Author #36 Share Posted May 13, 2023 We stayed on Chill Island and had a great day. There are no freestyle machines but there is a machine with water, lemonade, and strawberry kiwi. Food is Windjammer buffet style. The stroller in this pic is a beach stroller with wider tires to push in the sand. They can randomly be found around the island. There is also a team that travels around the island if you don't want to walk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 13, 2023 Author #37 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It always amazes me how close these ships get to each other when docked. It's like walking between 2 huge buildings! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 13, 2023 Author #38 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Dinner tonight was Italian Night. My appetizer was the Arancini, Main Course was the Chicken Parm, and Tiramisu for dessert. My MIL had the Lasagna and my daughter had the filled of Sole. Everything was very good tonight. No complaints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 13, 2023 Author #39 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Here are pictures of the Main Dining Room. 3 levels of dining on decks 3, 4, and 5. Our assigned table was on Deck 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare manders175 Posted May 14, 2023 Author #40 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We departed the ship on Friday May 12th. We did self debarkation. Windjammer opens for breakfast at 6am. Ate breakfast around 6:30 am then went back to the room to get our stuff. In line to self carry at 7:45. We were off the ship by 8:05am. We had a passport so was able to get in the facial recognition line. Seamless! I did hear that if you were in the birth certificate line it took quite a bit longer. The line did look long.

Rare manders175 Posted May 14, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted May 14, 2023 My final impressions: We had a great cruise. We love cruising and nothing happened that was so bad it would prevent us from cruising again. Main Dining Room: service was VERY slow every night. Food wasn't the best but was still good. Kids: please have adventure ocean open during dinner hours. Splash Away Bay needs opened at the same time as the Main pools, 11am on Port Days is too late when most smaller children are up early. (we will be putting all this in our official Freedom review). Our room steward was great and having service only once a day did not make or break our cruise. We were asked whether we preferred morning or evening service. Ask any questions you have! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threedrones Posted May 15, 2023 #42 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Thanks for the review. We are on same ship and itinerary in Sept. We, too, are from Cleveland and will be embarking on the 18th (Browns-Steelers MNF). Hopefully, the game will be on somewhere on the ship. We fly to Nashville after the cruise and will be at a Browns Backers bar to watch the Browns Titans game which is in Cleveland. What were the chances…thanks NFL. We really enjoyed the review.
