flagger Posted January 9, 2008 #252 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Radio: I am interested in learning what changes they made between Freedom and Liberty. When we cruised FOS, we talked quite a bit to the staff who said many changes were planned would be internal and the guests would never notice. Can you seek out some who have worked on both and ask about those changes. Ken Rush even mentioned it at the welcome back party that there were pages and pages of notes that were being taken to Liberty that they had learned from six months of sailings (when we cruised her) of Freedom. Things, ideas, procedures that had been learned when actually on a revenue cruise versus a shakedown period. Thanks for asking and sharing your adventures.

prc Posted January 9, 2008 #257 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Radio what are you using to gather position data? Thats a fairly detailed mapping of Haiti/DR you are showing... I use MS Streets & Trips with the receiver taped to either the balcony railing or in the window and track the complete voyage. Not much map detail in the islands (except for PR), but it works for me!

DPurcell58 Posted January 9, 2008 #258 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Diamond Lounge is it just for Diamond members, or for people in suites also? Sorry, can't remember and we're in an OS on the Freedom in Aug. Looks so nice, just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLindaC Posted January 9, 2008 #260 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Radio....I thought you had more hair, lol! For all of you talking about St Martin beaches...here's a thought. Last year, my hubby and I took the ferry over to Anguilla. It's like another WORLD over there. Incredibly beautiful beaches, water ...the people were so friendly and the cab driver gave us a special tour. A pristine place and we had stretches of beach all to ourselves. No mobs of tourists, no traffic, no fast food, nada. You do need to go early and give yourself plenty of time to get back to ship as the traffic from Marigot is horrible. Radio, you still didn't tell me which lounge is non-smoking. C'mon, inquiring minds want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Az's Cruising Nana Posted January 9, 2008 #262 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Radio, Do you suppose RCCL finds an increase in cruise bookings after you've done one of your "live" sailings? They should pay you to cruise it would probably be cheaper advertising for them. It sure makes me want to GET OUT THERE!!! Thanks for posting while on your trip.

SherriZ366 Posted January 9, 2008 #264 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Diamond Lounge is it just for Diamond members, or for people in suites also? Sorry, can't remember and we're in an OS on the Freedom in Aug. Looks so nice, just wondering. Diamond lounge is just for Diamonds and Diamond plus. The Concierge Lounge is just for suite guests -- GS and above. A passengers who is a D or D+ staying in a GS or above can use both lounges.

hencoll Posted January 9, 2008 #266 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Radio, I'm really enjoying your report. Your pictures are amazing. We will sail the Liberty in December and this is adding to our excitement.

LLindaC Posted January 9, 2008 #267 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks again Radio! About the Freedom vs Liberty question....I heard that they did away with the tiny bookstore next to Sorrento's. Is that true? We are leaving in 16 days and I'm getting more excited by the hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riba Posted January 9, 2008 #268 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Radio-- your reports are great. I look forward to them every day. Can you tell me what kind of food choices the Jade serves? Is it just sushi? Keep those great pictures coming. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted January 9, 2008 #269 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yes, I agree. . . they have suggested that they might convert the 19th Hole sports Bar on all Voyager Class ships to the Diamond Lounge. Did I mention that they have GREAT Coffee, and Latte's ? :D Radio ;) ;) To me, that is the best perk of the lounge!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1010Transistor Posted January 9, 2008 #270 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Dad, How long is a usual ride on the surfs up mega wave blaster thing? Just wondering if it would be worth waiting in a long line for that cowabunga rip curl ride. Do the lines move quickly?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio ;) ;) That would be great as the 19th hole fails miserably as a sports bar. The Diamond lounge on the Freedom class is much nicer than the Concierge lounge.
