Yes! That's it, thanks! I knew it was Gambee who had it :)

Thanks! I believe I have this one.

There was another one I thought that had each type of drink listed and how many of those you needed to consume each day to breakeven per each package...

Can someone post this here for me? I cannot remember which post I saw this in. It's a complete breakdown of each package by each type of drink.

Just FYI.....the Radisson At The Port, which is just down from CI&S also offers airport pick up & shuttles to the port.

How much are the airport pick ups? Are they return TO the MCO airport?

Our flight would leave at 12:40pm, would we have enough time to get to the airport if we self-embark?

I am trying to nail down the final points of our trip, hopefully booking this week! Eeek!!

Comfort Inn & Suites has a fly, snooze and cruise package. $215 for 2 people, round trip transportation to and from MCO, transportation to the port and one night's stay.

Has anyone used this package? And if so, what was your experience with the transportation services (they use travelynx)? I believe they pick up on the day of disembarkment at 9:15am to ensure getting to the airport for 10am. Our flight would leave at 12:40pm. What time does the FOS start self-disembarkment?

Good price?

Yikes, ok. I was thinking that. I guess I will be opting for a cabin in between two others :)

Right now, I am looking at this cabin. The white areas on the deck plans, are they all hallways/public spaces or are they storage spaces for the crew? I'm concerned about the noise some posters talking about from the crew.

Just wondering if we should look at a room in between two cabins.

Thanks!!

The charge for JR, what does it include in your purchase? Burger, fries, shake, dessert? Or can you order whatever you want?

Ok, so if I book the Freedom for April 2015 out of PC and purchase my flights, is there a chance she will change ports??? To Asia?

Where do you find all of these webpages with the price drops??

What is pricing "usually" like for FOS in April for an inside Cat M cabin? No sales...

Thanks folks. I was leaning toward Deck 9, but just wanted to be sure.

Also, I can get a room that is on the end, meaning only one neighbour. Would that room hear much noise in the area outside of the room? There are no elevators on that side.

What are the pluses and negatives for the following inside cabins:

Deck 3 mid ship - $1679

Deck 9 mid ship - $1709

As you can see cost isn't an issue, pretty much the same. I'm thinking in terms of location on the ship. I know Deck 4 is a public area, so we "could" hear foot traffic during the night. We don't typically go to bed until well after midnight anyways so that likely won't bother us.

The lower deck would be more convenient for getting on/off at ports. Same level as MDR, Theatre, Ice rink, etc.

The high deck is closer to the pool deck/solarium.

Anyone who has stayed in either and has opinion, please jump in!

If you found a good price for a flight to the port, but you wanted to wait to book the cruise until the sale to be over, would you book the flight anyways??

What's odd is when I do a mock booking for Freedom leaving April 12th, the inside cabin is priced between $636-$836. Yet, when I go through the whole thing and check out the summary, each person's price jumps to $929 plus tax and fees! LOL Do they really think we are that dumb to not notice those inflated prices? It "should" read $636 for guest #1, and then $318 for guest #2.

Am I wrong with this thought process?!

Can you use gift cards brought from home for Starbucks on board?

What is the Cruise Air?

Last year I think I had $100 from the "next cruise" and another $125 or $150 from my TA as OBC.

Wow! Your TA is very generous! Is that standard practice for them to give those freebies out?

I'm looking at the Freedom sailing April 12. For an inside cabin, it's just under $1700 with the BOGOHO deal. That seems high to me. Works out to be $121/per day taxes in.

If we book now, are we still eligible for any future price drops? How do they work? Do you get the price docked right off the total or do they just give you onboard credit for the amount?

What time could I expect to be off the ship if we self disembark?

Looking at a flight home leaving MCO at 12:40pm.

Sebas030, I'm an East Coaster from Canada so I know about chilly weather! I need the ocean to be warm to get me in.

Thanks for the input everyone!!

Ack! That's too cold for a "vacation"! I'll have to wait until "summer" to sail that ship, I guess!

So, just wondering for those who have sailed the Breakaway from NYC, what is the weather like in Bermuda in April? Is it hot like in the Caribbean??

This was the only time I ate anything at Red Frog, most everything was $3.33 and I thought it was definitely worth it. They served from 4-12, I know my husband went there when most other outlets were closed, he said the grouper fingers were good.

What do you mean everything was $3.33? Isn't that restaurant complimentary?

If you were to tip additional, can you just give them cash? Or do you have to add it to the receipt?
