5 nights? I'd guess that night 2 will be formal.

My son fell and hit his head. He was ok but that was enough for him and us! Also some bikini wardrobe malfunctions

Your son was very brave to wear a bikini on the flow rider :D:D

Falling is just like diving onto a hard bed. If you can guide yourself to the edges then you can avoid a wipe out x

I note that someone has started a thread about add-ons going up in price (probably due to the FX rate change). Has anyone been asked to pay a surcharge for the total cost of their cruise?

Thx for the replies :-)

Does anyone know if this ship has indoor swimming pools? I checked the MSC website but it isn't apparent.

Here's a few from my Rotterdam cruise in January.

Plenty of things to do on Freedom. Only things they don't have I can think of that Oasis does: Zip line, Rising Tide Bar, Central Park, Boardwalk, High-Diving. Slightly fewer eateries too but still lots of choice.

I did B2B on the Allure in Jan '12. Towards the end of the first cruise we were invited to a meeting where they told us what to expect. There was a Q&A session afterwards too.

I'd strongly recommend this meeting as you get chance to reserve shows/restaurants for the next week.

As for meals, we were all invited to a special lunch in the main dining room on transfer day.

Chances are that each port has a website which probably shows the upcoming schedule. Some even have Webcams (Port Everglades, Miami, NY).

In my experience it's Platinum and above that gets invited. Seems some people are overlooked; I spoke to someone who was also Platinum and he wasn't invited.

I'd be interested in bingo, trivia, wine tasting, sports activities and pool stuff (although this will probably be limited in January!)

I'll be sailing on the Rotterdam from Southampton to Athens in January. What daytime activities can I expect?

Not yet born!

I went on the Indy in 2010. Two play-off games were being shown in the big lounge towards the front of the ship. This was on a cruise departing the US though. I'm also hoping to see the 2 Thanksgiving Day games.
