The metal thingie is actually directly between 1802 and 1852. You won’t see it or the obstruction is very minimal if you’re laying in bed or sitting on the couch but you will see it if you’re standing right up against the glass.  The flow boards do obstruct the view more when placed up against the glass. 

So glad to find this thread as I booked room 1802 on FOS this September. I loved the size of the room but hadn't been able to find pictures anywhere. Thanks for the great photos since I assume these are identical to Freedom of the Seas.

You might ask this on the Royal Caribbean board.  Madame G2U last posted there a month ago.  If she does not have notifications turned on, she won’t get your query.  EM

Great point, thanks!

I'm sailing Sept 2022 and have room 1802. @MadamG2U how did you like it? I'm interested because it looks much larger than other similar rooms in the area.

Any tips about how to quickly accumulate a lot of reward points???? I would really love to purchase as many $500 cards as I'm allowed. I'm not even close to having enough points.

One tip I saw was to just complete the quizzes. Whether you get the answers right or wrong, you can accumulate points quickly.

AARP has the $100 and $500 e-gift cards available right now for those who are watching. You can get the $100 card for $90 and the $500 card for $450.

Not sure about your sailing, but every cruise we've been on there has been a pirate night theme. They dress up has pirates (face paint) that night so you don't need to pack anything special. They have also had color wars red vs. blue, but that was for the stingrays and sharks.

They do some magic shows on every sailing it seems too.

We'll be on the Vista in May and he is really social so he is going to love it when I pass this on. Thanks!

Sure! After spending 11 nights on the Vista chasing Hurricane Irma last September in 6 in January I have a few tips!

Dining:

Breakfast - There is a little known breakfast buffet 5 aft serving continental as well as eggs and bacon. Most people don't know about it so its not crowded

Lunch - Serenity deck has a great salad bar on port day and sea day that is really great including shrimp! BBQ is awesome on 5 but go early, it gets early and isn't open every day. First sea day there is a cooking class around noon that is so awesome for sampling food from the steak house. So much food we didn't eat lunch

Dinner - anytime dining is super easy on the Vista. You check in on 5 next to the coffee shop and they give you a slip you bring down to 3 Aft. We never waited.

Italian - Cucina - well worth the $15. If you go the first night you get a cheap bottle of table wine for your table for free. We did the steak house on the first cruise which was great but so much food and so long to sit we just preferred the dining room

Entertainment

Matt Mitchum is hands down the best cruise director I have ever seen. He is so present around the ship and funny! His morning show and marriage show are great. Please try and go to military appreciation event last sea day around 10. It is very cool. White night is fun and the Havanna Bar is a cool venue - you can go out by the pool after 7.

I can answer any questions too!

Thanks for the great tips!

My favorite were the wings, conch salad and conch fritters. $3.33

Cool tips!

Don't have information specifically for the Fantasy, but the multiple ships we have used camp for there is free time play, movies, arts and crafts, theme nights with scavenger hunts, music and dancing etc. Our kids (5 & 4 on last cruise) love it and have lots of fun! As soon as you board head to camp so she can check it out, meet some of the counselors and grab the activity sheet for the cruise. It will list everything and times. Have fun!:)

Thanks for the tip. My son is looking forward to Camp Ocean after we watched a few Youtube videos.

Depending upon the country, most do not allow meat/dairy products to be brought ashore. It is generally any plant or animal products that re banned. Whether you CAN get away with it is different that what you are legally allowed to bring.

Thanks for this. I'm traveling with a 4 yr old and I always have his snacks in my bag when we are out for the day.

Great news for So Cal residents!

We are big fans of Miss T's Kitchen. We go there every trip to Jamaica. Awesome service and food!

Thanks for the reply!

For Authentic Jamaican food check out Miss Ts

Wow, I just checked out Miss T's on YouTube and my mouth is watering. The oxtails looked great and then Miss Tomlinson showed a jerk lobster greek salad! I'm looking for places to go in Ocho Rios and this is definitely going on the list. Still looking for THE place to get the best, authentic patties.

I love this tip! I've been trying to do this more often. Last cruise it was just my DH and I. We would offer to take other people's pictures and then ask them to take ours in return. Everyone was always so happy that we offered.

This is a great tip.
