Bonaire is our favorite, just everything about it!

We had cabin 7414 on Freedom last year and loved it. We didn't find the obstruction to be a problem at all. The balcony was very enjoyable. We actually booked the same cabin for this November but don't see that happening...

I just cancelled our May cruise. My wife recently had surgery on her right lung and it simply isn’t worth the risk to us.

We were in aft balcony room 7414 back in May on the Freedom. It was super quiet and the huge balcony was awesome! The whole ship was moving a good bit on that cruise but our room was no different than the rest of the ship. We loved it!

We're on the Majesty next so, Jammer it is!

After some shopping, we enjoyed a drink at Karel's Beach Bar on a dock next to impossibly clear blue water.

That's exactly the plan!

We were on the afternoon tour that same day and it was 4 hours. That was one of the coolest things we've ever done. The water was beautiful and the reef was amazing, Bonaire was our favorite port. We actually talked about it last night and decided if we ever go back we will do the morning tour and spend the afternoon in the town. It was a very fun day!

And I hope you have a better internet experience than we did.  Horribly slow with lots of drops.

We were on the same cruise as you and had the same experience. Internet was almost useless.

Ooh two of my favorite things, cruising and coffee! Can't wait!  You hear so many mixed reviews of Freedom, I look forward to assessing her myself.  Thanks for the positive vibes!

We’re having a wonderful time! We haven’t experienced any of the negative things I read about leading up to the cruise. St. Martin tomorrow and then sadly, we’re done. It’s been a blast!

Sitting on the  Freedom ots promenade  right now drinking coffee. You’re gonna love this ship!

Love your review! We board Freedom in a week and are really looking forward to it!

We are traveling on FOS soon with another family that will be in an owner's suite. I bought the key for voom and also to get priority seating with our friends at the shows ect... Is an embarkation lunch a perk for a suite? Their travel agent hasn't been much help with information.

Just checked on my 5/19 Freedom sailing and it has the 3 night package for $69 and the Chops + 1 for $65. 

We board the Freedom of the Seas on the date of the finale. I'm taking my laptop just for that lol.

5/19/19 Freedom is at $44 right now. It had been jumping between $52 and $47 for months.

We have Woodwind Bonaire booked for May. We're really looking forward to it.

We'll be on the 5/19 Freedom cruise too. Dang,  I didn't  realize that was the date of the  finale. Last year on the Oasis I was able to stream on my laptop. 17" screen isn't ideal but it'll do I suppose.

We were in Bonaire last week and booked Woodwind back in June based on the rave reviews on this site.

 

Have to say, it was actually better than I could have ever imagined.

Dee and her crew are amazing, they have all the gear you could ever need (I'm a big guy and they had stuff that fit me) including a dive shirt.

The walk from the ship is so easy and close.

The Woodwind is a beautiful catamaran with ample covered areas if you're not wanting too much sun.

The guide we had was amazing, pointing out many things that we would have never seen on our own.

Saw 2 sea turtles and one actually got partially on my back (turtles doing, not mine) as I just floated there.

 

We did the 4 hour tour.  It included one dive, then snack of watermelon and cookies.  Then a second dive off the deeper part of the reef (where we saw the turtles).  Followed by a great stir fry type lunch as we headed back. Unlimited drinks as well including beer/wine.

Do not miss this tour if you're able to get it.  It's the best time and value we had during our entire cruise.

Thanks for the review. We have this scheduled for our May cruise and I'm really looking forward to it!

Great report. I'll be on Freedom in May and can't wait!!

We had room service breakfast on our balcony as we docked at Labadee, it was quite enjoyable.

Thanks for taking us along, awesome report!

2000 Disney Wonder 3 day Nassau/Castaway Cay cruise. We didn't cruise again until last October on the Oasis and had a blast. Already have 2 more cruises scheduled.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Have a great day at Labadee! We had a bungalow at Columbus Cove back in October and had an awesome day!

My wife and I had one in the MDR last week on the Oasis and we didn't think it was anywhere near as good as the filet we had at Giovanni's.
