That was a great little video and a very nice review.The pictures are great.It looks that you and your family had a great cruise and a lot of fun.

Be sure and try the Alchemy Bar,the people there are the best.We were on the Freedom this past Sept. and went to Little French Key in Roatan(not booked thru Carnival)and it is beautiful.We did the $88 pp package which included the meal and 2 drinks and it was worth every penny.For Belize we just shopped around the port and ate at a restaurant recomended by one of the people in one of the shops and loved the food there.For Cozumel we went to Nachi Cocum(again not booked thru Carnival) an all inclusive resort that only allows 100 people per day max .Price $55 pp and the food and drinks are super.This was our 5th time at Nachi Cocum and will probabally be there again when we sail on the Freedom Oct.1,2016.

246 Days till the Freedom again.WOO HOO

We have been on the Triumph twice , same Lido deck balcony room (9266) and we loved it . We never had a problem with the AC .

Our cruise was on the Freedom this past Sept. and what made it stand out to us was the crew , they were the best. We made many friends especially the Alchemist at the Alchemy Bar ( Drazen , Bojana and Anca ) they were the best and we had a lot of fun with them .

Our cruise a few weeks ago on the Freedom was so bad that we have to give them another chance next Sept. That was a great review and ours was just as bad.We can't wait to get back aboard.:D:D:D:D

We normally get to the pier around 10am and usually on board between 11 and 11:30 with fttf.

12 days till the Freedom .

23 Days till the Freedom .:D

We love Nachi Cocum , we have been there 4 times and going back again on our Sept. Freedom cruise . Your pictures are beautiful and I am glad that you like us Texans .

:)

Thank you for the reply and the info on returning to the ship on time , If my sister-in-law wants to go there we will be booking .

Thank you for the Freedom review and great pictures . We are on the Freedom Sept. 26th going to the same ports and I believe that you have convinced me to book Little French Key . Did you book with them on line and how long was the excursion ? My wife wants to make sure that we make it back to the ship on time :)

We have been on the Triumph twice and had balcony rooms on the Lido deck both times and we loved it.:)

Yep. When I was a midshipman at the Academy, we were paid when we went on our sea year training on merchant ships. We received 1/2 of an ensign's salary, $300/month. That was early '70's.

When I went into the Navy in 1968 and came out of boot as an airman (e3 because of college credits ) I made $300 a month.

We use Galveston Park and Cruise , we have already booked them for our Sept. cruise .

I recommend the Strand and Post Office , good shopping and many nice restaurants.

The Original Mexican Café is very good , also you might try Millers restaurant on Seawall and Shrimp and Stuff which now has 2 locations ( 1 at 39th and Ave O and 1 downtown. Two others that are on the Strand are Brews Brothers and I hope I spell it right Yaga's.

A BBC , Baily's Banana Colada.

We have used Galveston Park and Cruise our last 3 cruises and have booked them for our Freedom cruise in September.

:)I always print ours out as soon as final payment is made,I keep a travel folder and put everything in it.

If cabin 9266 is available it is in a very good location.It is the 1st forward room on the port side.I mean that it is the 1st room just forward of the mid ship rooms.Very quiet and still very near the elevators and the doors leading out to the Lido deck.We have been in that room 2 times and hope we can get it again on our next Triumph cruise.

We have stayed in cabin 9266 on the Triumph on our last 2 cruises and it is very quiet and a great deck to stay on.

We have had room 9266 on our last two sailings on the Triumph(12/01/2012 and 10/21/2013) and we loved the room and it was very quiet.

This Oct. will be our 4th time there.We love it,it is so laid back and peaceful.The drinks are very good(normally start off the morning with bloody maries then switch to either beer or dirty monkeys) and the food is very good.
