Clio1610 Posted May 9, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hello from the UK Everyone ! When I was planning our first cruise, I lost months of my life scouring these CC boards for info, tips, advice and photos about the ship we had chosen - RCI's Freedom of the Seas...:confused: So when we were on it, I deliberately took loads of outside on deck & balcony and inside-the-ship photos as well as food etc...etc....:) I have put them on photobucket, I do have loads more, as during our 7 night Western Caribbean Cruise, I took just under 700 photos :eek: I hope these will be interesting to anyone planning a FOS cruise !!!:D Here is the link : http://s719.photobucket.com/albums/w...2009/?start=60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyprincess Posted May 9, 2009 #8 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Honestly, I think the best part of your photos is that every description ended with a big exclamation point! Your enthusiasm, enjoyment and excitement comes through in such a lovely and refreshing way! Thanks again - I can't wait to go! I'm on deck 9 also, on the hump - any noises or anything up there?

Clio1610 Posted May 9, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Fabulous pics!!!! :D Thanks so much for sharing!! How did you like Deck 9? Can't wait to read your review. Loved Deck 9 - in fact we loved everything !!! Especially being at the front on the Starboard side, because 1) We kept getting waves from the Captain and his Officers on the Bridge and 2) We had to keep WALKING to the back of the Ship to the wonderful Restaurants, so at least we kidded ourselves we were walking off all that lovely food....lol.....

Thank you for your lovely comments !! And the only noise we could hear whilst we sat out on our Balcony, was the gentle sound of the waves !!! I think we must have had really quiet neighbours, because the only time we heard anyone whilst outside, was when we sailed away from Miami, and we passed the NCL Jewel, still docked and everyone was waving and whooping at each other!! What fantastic fun that was !!! I will say the one thing that completely surprised me the most was how well soundproofed our Stateroom was !!! I have stayed in very expensive Hotels and been able to hear everything !!!!! I wasn't expecting it to be so quiet !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy2theWorld Posted May 10, 2009 #17 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Thank you for posting these. We are sailing in about 6 or 7 weeks as well and I wasn't sure what to expect really. Your photos helped a lot. Now, I'm thinking we might stay onboard on port days, but I want to shop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clio1610 Posted May 10, 2009 Author #19 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi Everyone! Thank you all so much for your lovely comments !!! Well I finally finished my Review, I have uploaded it into "Member Reviews" but apparently it might take a few days to show up on the site (they probably have to check it first !!) I am so glad you like my pics, because I tried to find as many pics as I could before we went - and really didn't find many "Inside the Ship or Food" pics... and its stuff like that thats important !!! Well it was to me anyway !!! Hope you enjoy reading my Review - but beware because it is very long ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotFi Posted May 10, 2009 #20 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi Thanks for taking such great pics and sharing.

We are also on deck 9 I can't wait thanks again. scotfi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
