Thanks for the review and great pictures! We are very excited to return to CCL after a VERY bad experience aboard RCL Freedom OTS last May.

Can't wait to see the scans of the FunTimes!

Sun and Fun, I am SO happy to hear that about the shopping! I'm a shopaholic. :cool: As for the jeep rental, how much does that generally cost you guys?

ciera123, Thank you so much for that! Everything looks so tasty! The link doesn't seem to have shown up though? :confused:

iahawkfan21, Thank you for all of the recommendations. I have a feeling St. Maarten will end up being one of our favorites too! :D

FOTS will be our very first RCI cruise ever (always done Carnival in the past :o )!!!!

We will be on the Eastern Caribbean, 7-night, leaving from Port Canaveral on April 19, 2015.

Since I'm a planner who likes to have everything ready (why make choices and stress about reservations while traveling when you could use that time to relax in between doing fun things?!?), I need a little guidance... I'm basically looking for sample menus for the various restaurants/dining rooms, the most recent version of the Compass for this particular itinerary, the best excursions to do in CocoCay, St. Thomas, & St. Maarten (all new ports for us; side note, is there anywhere to buy knockoff designer bags, glasses, etc. in any of these ports like there is in the terribly run-down Nassau? I'm a sucker for faux LV), shows/nightlife onboard, and the "inside-scoop" if you will on bars/drink specials/lounges/etc. It'll just be us two adults this time, so, no need for info on kids activities. ;)

Please help me, Freedom Experts! We are at your mercy!!!
