I wish i would have seen this thread before i posted mine about the dream :o. excuse me repost, but i really need info and i figured this would be a much better place to get answers.

Are any of the Pools or hot tubs open late at night or 24hr like on Royal?

How was the variety and quality of entertainment both day and night?

How was the night life? Are the clubs fun?

What would be the average age on a 7 night eastern caribean in Nov?

Has anyone had an aft balcony room? how big was your balcony?

Are there lounge chairs on any of the balconies?

Do all the balconies have the ability to connect or just the ones with connecting rooms? (this may be a dumb question sorry)

Is there a 24hr spot to get snacks?

Eventhough we feel our last cruise on the sensation was lackluster, we are willing to give carnival another try i think.

Hi everyone,

We will be in cozumel during our last stop on our Freedom of the seas cruise. We were looking for something fun to do preferably something that had to do with the beach. so far it's a toss up between Paradise Beach and Playa Mia. However the playa mia website is and has been for some time under construction so i can't look at the site and review the prices. Any opinions on which place is better? do they both have all inclusive options? What one has more activities and do they cater to different age groups? also if anyone has a great site for playa mia please let me know.

Thanks,

Rachel

A group of 4 of us(all age 25) will be sailing on the Freedom of the Seas on 5/16/10 Western Caribbean., and I have many questions as I have only been on 1 cruise before and that was with carnival.

We have a JS aft booked-when we cruised on the Carnival Sensation there was a seperate line for people who were in suites to get checked in and board faster than the people who booked lower catagories, Does RCI do this?

How many electrical outlets are in the room, and are power strips allowed?

Are you allowed to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages onboard?

Just how great is it to have an aft balcony? and how much larger is it than a reg. js balcony?

Is it better to bring an alarm clock or have wake up calls?

Are reservations a must for my time dining, or can you just show up?

When is the 1st formal night usually?

I know the salon does hair, but do they do makeup onboard?

Are gratuities included in the cover charge for portofinos and chops?

How late are sorrentos and the promenade cafe open?

Is the solarium always open? Do the pools and hot tubs close?

What is Quest?

How is the nightlife?

What's your favorite bar/lounge and why?

I read about a coupon book and a bogo DOD, do you have to go to a seminar or can you just buy them, and how much are they?

In Ocho Rios we are planning to do Dunn's River Falls by ourselves not with the cruise line. However we are doing the chukka dune buggy excursion with RCI at 11:30am. if we do the falls before hand at 9am will we have enough time? How long does it take to climb the falls usually? has anyone ever done the dune buggy tour how was it, any pics?

In cozumel we have no excursions planned, however we were thinking of trying snuba, has anyone done this, opinons and pics?

What port has the best shopping and how do you barter I always feel bad asking for a lower price any tips?

If anyone has any opinions or tips especially for things i missed please add. We really know nothing about RCI besides we are excited to cruise with them lol!! So we need all the advice we can get. Also anyone who has pictures of the trip on the freedom I'd love to see them or port pictures too.sorrry this was sooo long.

P.s. I know that with 4 adults in a JS we wont have any privacy and thers only 1 bathroom. That doesn't bother us, none of us are doing anything that the others would mind (except maybe snoring):D We just wanted enough room to move, which is why we chose this over a D1.
