Live Review - Nov 17th - Freedom of the Seas - Bourbon and Blackjack Weekend

[DeerJod]

Room will suffice! 

[DeerJod]

Freedom has one of the best kids pools.

[DeerJod]

Also this must have happened recently but there are slots in playmakers.

[DeerJod]

20 minutes + on with jet blue trying to locate the bag yielded no results, we ended up buying something similar from target but it’s annoying we didn’t even get an apology for them losing something. 
 

Ship feels busy but not sold out.

That’s why you can’t do MTD. Traditional you can walk in anytime between 5:45-6 pm right to your table. 

[DeerJod]

That line was gone in 5 minutes it was impressive. 

[DeerJod]

Not bad for an hour up 300 

[DeerJod]

Honestly the ship really doesn’t feel that packed. 

[DeerJod]

Also only one duck has been found

I'll be on Freedom Dec 8th, can you please find out who the current captain is? If there's no Behind the Nametag sheets by Guest Services, someone at Guest Services can tell you. But please, don't waste your time standing in a long line at Guest Services!

[DeerJod]

Slept great, let’s get after it today!

We will be sailing on Freedom in exactly one month!! It's our holiday cruise with my mom and my kids (my husband and I are sailing 10 days prior for our anniversary and my dad just doesn't like holiday travel 😄) It's fun to see the ship we will be on in about a month!! The OV room looks great for a family, we booked the 2 bedroom suite to stay in one room and not kill each other lol. My kids are teens so it's basically 4 adults in one room, enjoy the smaller sized humans in one cabin while you can. Happy sailing and will be following along! 

[DeerJod]

Easy windjammer morning, boat mimosa made and we’re on the island! 

[RedSails1968]

I am loving this as I plan to be on Freedom next year. I hope early dining remains 5:45 - 6:00. 

[DeerJod]

Early dining was 5:45 and they were snappy, that line made it look like chaos and it was not.

[DeerJod]

Bottle check, also since no one asked that was orange flavoring maybe alcoholic in nature in that small yellow bottle. It really takes your bottled mimosas to the next level.

[DeerJod]

I feel bad for the ncl folks having to tender into the island seeing how much fun they’re missing out on at coco cay. 

[PhillyFan33579]

Enjoyed reading your review up to this morning. Glad you were able to dock at Coco Cay. I did a 4 day cruise on Freedom a few weeks ago. We weren’t able to dock at Coco Cay due to the weather. It was actually pretty interesting watching water literally crashing on the pier. It wasn’t a big deal in my book since I have been to the updated Coco Cay several dozen times, but I felt bad for passengers I met who were looking forward to going there for the first time. 

[DeerJod]

Beautiful day 

[DeerJod]

Didn’t try it but looks like self service beer is a thing . 

[DeerJod]

Always a great day at cococay

[DeerJod]

Tables have been hot, slots not so much. We’re about even with a handful of house played.

Nice when it’s only one ship in port.
