Ocean Boy Posted November 1, 2016 #2926 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Those pieces are what I'm referencing, I'm curious as to what it actually was. I think everything with the Carnival Liberty cruise getting cancelled today has me anxious about my upcoming cruise :) Sent from my SM-G920V using Forums mobile app What happened to Carnival Liberty?

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 1, 2016 #2927 Share Posted November 1, 2016 What happened to Carnival Liberty? Engine problems, not enough power to maintain speed. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 4, 2016 #2928 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Well Freedom doesn't appear to be leaving anytime soon. Divers in the water again. Haven't seen any big pieces like Bill did. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wondered if they were just doing a follow-up inspection to the previous dive/repair. Sent from my SM-G920V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the captain changed the itinerary to Grand Cayman, he told us that he had the hammer down on all 5 engines in order to get us there by 10am Tuesday morning, and we ended up pulling in even earlier than planned at 9:30...

lingading Posted November 5, 2016 #2940 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Theyve got 3 WEEKS to fix that bad boy.. I'm going out the 26th. Just got upgraded from interior to ocean view for FREE yesterday. Our second cruise ever, had an ocean view last time and were getting nervous to not have a window. Couldn't believe we got the upgrade for nothing. From a Q class room to H class. But I sure hope they get her running better before we go!!!!

trajan Posted November 5, 2016 #2942 Share Posted November 5, 2016 We are interested in sailing on the Freedom in Europe in 2018. Anyone know or have a good guess as to when bookings will open for May to August 2018 sailings? Ty for any replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlegs Posted November 5, 2016 #2943 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi All. We are doing our first cruise ever on Freedom in the Med in May 2017. The info here is great. However I am confused by the amount of bars and restaurants and cafes as to what places are free to eat in and which places are extra. Would someone be good enough to compile a little list of the free eating places please? We have the deluxe drinks package, which includes drinks up to 12 dollars each I think. Will I manage to get a cocktail for less than that price onboard? Was also wondering if many adults do the surfrider, climbing wall and ice skating activities or is it mainly teens and young adults? We have interior cabins on deck nine starboard side. They are 9289 and 9290. Category L. Any ideas as to how good this location is? We have the option of My Time Dining too. Is this recommended and how does it work please? Lots of questions there but appreciate any answers you experienced cruisers can give me. Thanks.

lingading Posted November 5, 2016 #2945 Share Posted November 5, 2016 That's awesome! Was it automatic or did they call you?? I called them asking what it would cost to upgrade. They told me promenade view for $12 or oceanview guarantee for no additional charge. They actually assigned the room just a few hours later even though she said it could be as late as 3 days before sailing. We're on the 3rd deck, but that's where we started anyways so no loss there.

I have not yet been on freedom but will be in 3 weeks. The specialty dining restaurants are giovannis table, chops grille, and sabor. Ben&jerrys ice cream is an extra charge. The pizza place on he promenade is included. Most cocktails fall under he $12 limit, and I believe you only pay the difference if it is more expensive.The windjammer buffet and main dining room are included. My time dining is nice because depending on your port times you can make a different reservation each night or show up when you're ready to eat and wait for a seat. Hope that was helpful :-) Sent from my N9518 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlegs Posted November 6, 2016 #2947 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks lingading. Other questions: What exactly is ship time? How does it differ to port times and what times are itineraries written in? Also, is there the possibility of disembarking and reembarking as you want on port days or only at the start and end of the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it differ to port times and what times are itineraries written in? Also, is there the possibility of disembarking and reembarking as you want on port days or only at the start and end of the day? Ship time is the time zone of the departure port. In Freedom's case it is EST when sailing from Florida. All itineraries reference ship time. For example when Freedom ports somewhere like Cozumel, the local time will be 1-2 hours behind ship time (depending on DST) so you should make sure your watch or phone stays on ship time because if the ship leaves Cozumel at 4pm ship time and you get to back to the port at 4pm Cozumel time, Freedom will be long gone and as the captain says, you should then have iTunes play "All By Myself"... :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can come and go from the ship as many times as you want while it is in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
