Cuizer2 Posted December 21, 2009 #1551 Share Posted December 21, 2009 We just booked the April 18 sailing of FOS and got cabin 7632 which is on the "hump". Just wondering what that will be like? Is the view on the balcony obstructed? Should I look at other options? You will have a good view forward and a partially obstructed view to the rear. However, any cabin forward of the hump will have a partially obstructed view to the rear. If you are behind the hump your view to the rear is fine, but your view forward is partially obstructed. Only the center two cabins have an unobstructed view forward and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monoptn Posted December 30, 2009 #1556 Share Posted December 30, 2009 What a thread! I've had fun reading all 78 pages over the last few days. We, too, we originally thinking about the Oasis but have decided to sail on the Freedom on May 30, 2010. We have sailed the Mariner twice and loved it. Looking forward to the next few months of planning and then the trip. Thanks for all the great info and pictures. Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemjm Posted January 3, 2010 #1557 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Just wanted to let you know that we (my kids and I) appreciate the photos linked to your post. We are doing the Western cruise on the FOS in february and your photos are getting us excited to board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGirl55 Posted January 4, 2010 #1558 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'm not sailing the Freedom of the Seas until September, but now that it is 2010 - I can truly start my countdown! This will be my first Platinum cruise, and my first week-long cruise with Royal. All others have been weekenders so that makes me even more excited! I have read that the two experiences cannot really be compared. I am really looking forward to the Promenade and to the parade! And the dinners, and the shows, and everything else in-between. Woo-hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Posted January 5, 2010 #1564 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) just curious, I read in another thread that MOS has a helipad area so I did a search here for "helipad" and nothing was found. Q: there is not a helipad area to walk on FOS? --how about a "peek-a-boo" window to the bridge? Edited January 5, 2010 by Rafa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortones Posted January 5, 2010 #1565 Share Posted January 5, 2010 There is a helipad area on Freedom and that is the one place you can go and be completely alone on the ship. It's very windy but really cool to be out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q: there is not a helipad area to walk on FOS?--how about a "peek-a-boo" window to the bridge? There is an helipad all the way in front of the ship, you access it going up some stairs from the promenade deck. There is no "peek-a-boo" bridge.

Fox91Mom Posted January 9, 2010 #1570 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi all...this board is fabulous and thank you all for such great information. My family just booked the western FOS for July 25 and I know very little about the FOS which is why I'm reading every post on this thread! We booked 5 E1 balcony rooms in a row on deck 8. I saw the pictures a couple of pages back of JS balconies that look like you can open sliding doors so that balconies connect. Does anyone know if we'll be able to open doors so that our balconies connect? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry the lobster Posted January 9, 2010 #1571 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have never stayed in an E cabin bit I am 99% sure the balconies do not connect. Did you get connecting rooms? That is always nice to have when you are traveling with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourkittys Posted January 10, 2010 #1572 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Think we want to stay close to the port. We will be driving and it takes about 10-12 hours so will be getting in later in the evening the night before the cruise. Anyone stay at the country inn and suites? It is close to the pier and I was wondering if you can see the ships from there. We have reservations at the Country Inn and Suites for Nov. Got them on Priceline for $60 . They have a breakfast with bacon and scrambled eggs plus the other continental style foods normally served in other hotels. I think they have paking for $5 a night or a shuttle to the pier for $4@.

dioxide45 Posted January 10, 2010 #1574 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Also- what are your thoughts on catching an 11am flight out of MCO (Orlando)? Thanks! We are in a similar situation. We are looking to sail in June, booked a 12pm flight out of MCO. We will have a rental car parked at the port. I figure 45 minutes to an hour to the airport and we like to arrive two hours prior to our flights. Is it possible to be off the ship by 9:00 am?

larry the lobster Posted January 10, 2010 #1575 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ok stupid question- are you leaving a rentl car there that you had precruise or do you mean that you have a rental car reserved to pick up after the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
