We'll be trying Princess in September so I find this thread interesting. Similar threads on the Princess forum lean the other way obviously. I'll post our findings in 180 days :)

To answer both your questions-
Orient Beach is one stop that is planned for 2 hours. Maho Beach was planned for about 30-45 minutes.
Not much snorkeling at either place. There isn't and coral there. Just the prettiest beaches that I've ever seen!!!
The nudity was awkward because my 7 and 9 yr old was with me. I'm a nurse- so I've seen about everything. Nothing grosses me out.
I would keep an eye out and if someone was headed our way, I'd tell them to look away or close their eyes. (Some ladies there didn't seem to care that we were on the CLOTHING side- they still walked around topless)
It appeared to us as though going topless was acceptable anywhere on Orient with total nudity just on the one half.

So...how does one go about getting info on his tour/booking it? Is he listed on the thread for SM?
Thanks for sharing the great pictures, too!
Just go to http://www.bernardstours.com and make your reservation there. They will send you a confirmation email and you just pay them in cash at the beginning of the tour. It's easily worth twice the price :)

Oops. Double post.

Just booked another one last night. 212 days to go! :)

Hello all any of you happen to remember if the mini frig's on the freedom of the seas have a small freezer area at all some times that In a small apt size one they have a small area in the top that you can have a ice pack in them. Just wondering if any of you remember or have a photo. Thank you in advance!!!
No freezer compartment in our D1 category cabin. Can't speak for suites though.
I must say though, I was quite impressed with the mini fridge! I read a lot on here about how they are more of a 'cooler' than a fridge. Not true in our cabin at all. The first thing we did was remove all the beverages and snacks, put them on the shelf to the left, and put a post-it note on the fridge saying nothing had been consumed with an arrow pointing left. We then used it for all of our own things. We put warm beverages in there and they got cold pretty quick. If you get the thick silver insulated ice bucket, it'll keep ice quite well - I imagine you could keep an ice pack in there without any problems.

Does anyone know about WiFi on Freedom?? My daughter's sign language teacher would like her to skype with her classmate a couple of times during the week. Does it cost a lot??? Does it work???
It is expensive, and it depends on your definition of "work". I talked to a couple of people on board who used it and they both said it was agonizingly slow.
As for cost, this is from the RCCL website:
The cost for Wi-Fi access through your own laptop is:
Base rate is $.65 per minute or choose from one of our prepaid packages:
$35 for 60 minutes
$55 for 100 minutes
$75 for 150 minutes
$100 for 250 minutes
$150 for 500 minutes

Its a tender from the information I have found. We have never tendered at any port and actually want to try it. However, I have heard that due to weather, this stop is often skipped and it becomes a 4th sea day often......Have many of you found this to be true?:confused:
Yes. We missed it three weeks ago :(

Every time we walked past the cupcake shop on FOS it was a total ghost town - never saw more than one or two people in there the entire week.

Gaaaah! Just got off a ship 2 days ago and I'm already looking a little long-weekend Pacific coastal deal in May. It's a sickness. I need some meds ;)

I guess people playing games in their cabins doesn't make them much money ;)

I'm pretty sure I read on here that the ports were disabled. I'm sure someone will be along shortly that can confirm this.

The wine series dinner at Portofinos in January was on the second night. Worth every penny.
