counsdr Posted July 22, 2015 #2726 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Does the cabin bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hair dryer? The hair dryer is connected into the vanity and is only about 500 watts!!! It's not much use to anyone with thick hair or longer than your ears! :rolleyes: :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natuzi Posted July 24, 2015 #2727 Share Posted July 24, 2015 This is my first cruise ever! Question about excursions: Have you ever tried to do 2 in one day? In Coco Cay I saw a short snorkel excursion that leaves early morn and then the jet ski excursion that we could book for 1:30 without overlapping the times and giving us the 45 minute buffer that RC requires. Is that too much physical activity in one day? Question about food: If you reserve at Sabor, (or any specialty restaurant) is there a way to order so you can receive a few selections from the appetizers, main course, dessert? or are you only given one choice from each? Also are their drinks included in our drink package or are those extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And coco cay BTW) Last time in Giovanis table, table we were able to order several appetizers entrees, and desserts. I have heard that in chops, you can order more ran on appetizer, but only one entree. No reason you couldn't book two excursions. Depending on the jetski excursion they can be very exhausting. But if it is a 30 to 60 minute follow the leader, you should be fine. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will give you more time to relax and explore on your own and eat that fabulous BBQ lunch at your leisure.. You must check out Barefoot Beach. Way less crowded that's the first area you come to. Otherwise, if you just really WANT to do an excursions, I would just do the Jet Ski or the Para Sailng. Sabor I though went to a la carte pricing. If it's still a flat fee you get anything you want. Drinks at restaurants are included in your drink package, subject to the limitations of your specific package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erinsnotes Posted August 2, 2015 #2732 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Does anyone know what kind of Internet access is available if you don't buy the wifi? And what it would cost? I have a 17 year old daughter who will be in Europe and a 19 year son at home on his own who I would like to have contact with but the wifi is $182 canadian for the week.......for just sending a couple emails a day that sounds excessive.

There is no internet access on the ship without some sort of purchase. I believe the least expensive purchase is around $40 for one 24 hour period. Another option is to seek out free or inexpensive hotspots when you are in a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayME80 Posted August 2, 2015 #2734 Share Posted August 2, 2015 $30 per day. If you're just sending email, I would compose it first, and use the Internet Cafe here on board to send when you're ready, so you're only paying by the minute. It won't be nearly as much. You can also connect to wifi elsewhere while in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules815 Posted August 2, 2015 #2736 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I don't think any ships still have by the minute pricing I know this has probably been covered here before, but are there C&A discounts for the packages? We'll need 2 devices for our FOS cruise next month. First week we'll be Emerald, second week Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pops43 Posted August 2, 2015 #2739 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'm at country inn in PC, and woke up in middle of the night and saw freedom in port at 2:50; didn't think they arrived that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cog Posted August 2, 2015 #2740 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Just off the ship. There was a medical emergency so the captain rushed us back early. Not sure of the outcome of the situation but we were told at the farewell show that the man was in stable condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2Mich Posted August 11, 2015 #2741 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Had a medical emergency on Freedom on April 19 cruise. Young lady was running across floor of ice rink during "Quest" and fell and hit her head on whatever flooring material is on top of the ice. Medical team arrived within minutes and mover her into a backboard and then onto a gurney after immobilizing her head. Kudos to the medical team for responding so quickly and hoping they took good care of her. Heard later on that she was released from care the next day after observation.

TravelAddict4300 Posted August 12, 2015 #2743 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I know there are usually two formal nights on cruises. Can anyone tell me what night they usually serve lobster in the MDR? Last year we missed it because we were too full from an offshore lunch which upset us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat1 Posted August 12, 2015 #2745 Share Posted August 12, 2015 the dessert? or are you only given one choice from each? As I recall, A dessert tray is brought to the table. It contains ( I think ) 6 items, each, with 4 of each. We booked Sabor for first night for a 25% discount, per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising Bonnie Posted November 8, 2015 #2749 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Please tell me if the TV's on the FOS can be connected to my iPad using a HDMI cord? We typically spend time in our cabin & balcony so I would like the option to view movies on our TV, if possible.

Depending on when you cruise is, don't count on the ability to stream movies over the internet, as I do not think FOS has been fitted with Voom Internet capabilities yet. You would have to have your movies downloaded on to your device prior to arriving on the ship. They other obstacles may be that the remote control may not allow you to change tv inputs? Samsung's peel app is the best IR remote control app that I have found to circumvent hotels and cruise ships from limiting tv usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
