Interesting, I never noticed that.   Are you sure there are cabins in that spot ?

We also rcvd the FCC about 4 weeks before our cruise sailed.  I called and a rep helped me , long call, had to put me on hold to get approval.    We also had to book and sail withing 12 months.  There were 2 of us on the reservation.  FCC was $1500 and they divided it between the 2 of us.   

The public bathrooms are on every deck with public space. The decks with cabins only didn't have any public bathrooms. If you check the deck plans on Freedom, starting on deck 11 there are plenty of public bathrooms. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/freedom-of-the-seas/deck-plans/1821/11

Thanks Bob. Royal should update their website.

A have seen a few comments about the Concierge Lounge on AOS. The on line info states : honour bar, self service , but then many posts are stating it is not an honour bar,self service, but a bar with a staff open only an hour before and after dinner . Any sail recently that can clarify ? This is what Royal has posted on their website::

I was wondering this as well. Something new?

Where did you see the "Seven Seas". I can not find any reference ?

I agree with BostonGal35. we have sailed carnival one time and heading out on NCL for our 3rd cruise this July. NCL is a big step up from Carnival IMO. We do not do the buffet. I prefer to be waited on, it's vacation :-) So we stick to the specialty resturants and the main dining room. Room service on NCL is also good. Our teens on the other hand hit the buffet in between the specialty meals :-)

Has anyone tried the collapsible reusable water bottles ? I think it would be easier for travel, but have never tried one. Recommendations ???

Good point !!!

I have never met a tour guide who would not get you wo an ATM when you say that you need money to pay him.
