AMommyof2 Posted August 18, 2007 #31 Share Posted August 18, 2007 We only used Ben & Jerry's once, as there was free ice cream on the pool deck. Seems like our son's ice cream was about $3 or $4. Yes, there should be flat screen in all rooms. Don't know about the dvd players. I know they are in the suites. If you are in a suite, GS or above, you can get free DVD rentals in the concierge lounge. Also, we brought a couple from home for our kids.

raina*faith Posted August 18, 2007 Author #35 Share Posted August 18, 2007 amommyof2: these are great pics! Thanks a bunch for them! Did your husband enjoy the flowrider? It looks so intimadating....Like you really should know what you're doing before you get on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn the Cruiser Posted August 18, 2007 #36 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi!!!! As you can see...I am going on the Liberty next June. I can't wait to see the differences between that and the voyager class. I love the idea of a bigger Promenade. I LOVE the Royal Promenade!!! That is my favorite part of the voyager class. We always stay on deck 6 so it just a quick run down the steps!!!! We are going to be on deck 6 on the Liberty, too. I'm sure my BIL will try the Flowrider but I don't think anyone else in our group of 50+ year olds will be so daring. He's already done the rock climbing wall and the Zipline in Labadee!!! That kind of stuff is not for me...I just watch!! Is anyone else going on the June 28 voyage????? Our roll call isn't too active!!!! I think it's just me and my BIL and 1 other person!!!:eek: Keep talking and posting pics about the Liberty!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so intimadating....Like you really should know what you're doing before you get on it! Yes, DH loved the FlowRider. He only did it twice, but really enjoyed it. They also offer a "beginner" class where they give lessons on how to ride. Posting the pics is my pleasure. This way I can get away with looking at them again and again while I suffer through my post cruise depression. We are already dreaming about our next cruise - The Explorer of the Seas in June.

raina*faith Posted August 19, 2007 Author #38 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Amommyof2: You're gonna love the Explorer of the Seas, she's a fabulous ship! Besides the Navigator I thought it was great! That's why I can't wait to get on the Liberty! Lynn the Cruiser: I'm sailing in August of 08 a nd my roll call is kinda on the slow side too, but at least I'm learning about the ship! That's my ultimate goal! I agree about the zip line, I saw it from one of the other cruisers who have been on it and it looks intimidating to me...... I think I'll stick with the waterpark and the Labadoozies!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 1 person and I think he's only on some times. So, I get pretty lonely sometimes. I posted on another roll call just to say hello and to see what plans others are making! Don't feel shy to come and say hello! You are on this beautiful ship before me and I know I'll have lots of questions! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn the Cruiser Posted August 19, 2007 #40 Share Posted August 19, 2007 The pictures are so nice!!!! I can't wait to walk down the Promenade!!!! I also loved looking at the menu. I might print it out!!! It was very similar or even the same as ours on the Explorer. I love the SF coconut cake and I hope they never take that off the menu. I ordered 2 pieces at once!! We already have our hotel booked in Miami and we're doing our flights soon!!!! My daughter is getting married in May and I have alot to do with that so I want the cruise plans to be finalized and then after the wedding I can just RELAX!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted August 20, 2007 #45 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Why does everyone hate salt water so much? You're on the ocean.... Just curious.... Hawkfish - guess living in florida we are so used to salt water, that having salt water pools doesn't bother me a bit. We are in salt water every weekend on the boat. I don't spend a lot of time in the pools on the ship anyway, so doesn't bother me what kind it is. I just lay in the sun all day and relax. But I have always wondered also why the fresh water pools is so important, maybe but just be a location type thing? Anyone that lives on the various coasts should be used to salt water. Who knows, just a personal perference thing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raina*faith Posted August 20, 2007 Author #46 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm not a nut over it or anything, but my kids like the fresh water over the salt for swimming. I know when I went snorkeling, the salt water was horrible, but I'm no olympic swimmer, so don't laugh that I gulped about a gallon of salt that day!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me forever to put my face in the water! Could not stand getting water in my mask, etc. Now that we snorkel so much, we invested in good quality dive mask and snorkels so I can snorkel forever and don't get water in my mask anymore.

That's exactly what happend to me! Water in my mask and then I would promtly suck it up like I was breathing!! Uuugh!! But I will say, I'll try it again! I might do like you did and get my own mask next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
