I have a hairstyle picked out for the first formal night on our next cruise, havent ever gotten my hair done by them. Was curious how much they charge just to style? And do they do a good job?

following! thank you :D

its a scam, my inlaws got the same exact thing like 2 weeks ago

For what its worth-

We did start to do the walking tour... didnt feel comfortable & there were tons of cab drivers outside the building where you dock offering tours.. We went back... we went with Ronaldo , paid $50 (we tipped extra though) and had a 3 hour tour. he took us all over Nassau told us so much info and showed us so much of the island not just the tourist attractions and we got out at a beach, queens staircase, fort fincastle & the water tower, he stopped at a local fruit stand and got us all some fresh fruit, and then to atlantis, we got to go inside the casino and walk around , and one of the other couples was asking about fresh conch so he actually stopped at a grocery store & got the guy some! there were 4 couples total & he went at our pace. He was amazing!! We have a stop in Nassau again this year & hopefully hes still there & ill see if he'll let me snap a pic of him so you will know who to go to for a tour!

yes yes yes!!! we had an ocean suite on our last cruise and loooveed it. im not sure how we're going to be able to go back to a normal balcony after that lol :D I have pictures if youd like to see them! (it was on the victory but an ocean suite should be the same-ish from ship to ship)

the 2nd night for sure.. im not sure about if the cruise is longer than 5 days what other night is "dress up"

goombay smash, miami vice, mojito, painkiller

I think you will be happy with your choice. I read all the time where people prefer inside cabins to save money and they are never in their cabin anyway. Yes, it does save money and there's a reason they don't stay in the cabin much, it's like being in a cave. The last time we had an inside cabin, my husband wanted to take a sledgehammer to the wall and knock a hole out.

 

We save all year to go on vacation, we're not about to scrimp on the cabin (although we've never splurged for a suite). That little piece of real estate is one of our favorite things about a cruise. We started cruising in 1998 and gradually converted to "balcony snobs". Now we won't go if we can't afford a balcony.

sounds exactly like my hubby..we could cruise again in feb if hed settle for an interior or even an ocean view.. but hes a balcony snob.

however we love the balcony, but we dont have anything to compare it to

I would go broke on that plan, my girls easily put away 30 sodas a day on a cruise.

30 sodas a DAY?:eek: holy batman thats alot of soda!

Thank you all so much for the responses I think that sealed the fate that were going to vcb!

Yes very quiet. I just recieved a call from Carnival's upgrade program yesterday 4 days to sailing and they offered me an AFT extended balcony cabin for $400.00 on the freedom this week. I took it with no Questions. So I will make sure to take pictures I got cabin 7447..

Cant wait for your pics!

I will be in the one right next to it 7451 in september Ill let you know!

following...

annnd for dessert........

we each ordered 2 we HAD to have warm chocolate melting cake but I also wanted to try the orange cake

and hubby also wanted the new York cheesecake

The menu that's available every day

Embarkation day

for an appetizer I ordered from the every day menu & got the fruit cocktail

Hubby got the duck breast

for entrees I got lasagna Bolognese... wasn't great but wasn't terrible

hubby got tilapia

This was our head waiter

This was one of the other 2

and heres the DRUNK table creep

and these were all around the walls

the downstairs dining area

some of the upstairs dining

Ours was the outside of what appears to be the long table to the left on the top (actually 3 2 tops)

Caspian Bar , right past the nightclub

Then we were off to dinner a little anxious to meet our table mates...we got put at a 2 top table which would have been fine except that there were 3 2 tops VERY close together so it was like having table mates and we didn't like them the guy showed up WASTED every night & was EXTREMELY annoying and creepy and kept getting inches away from everyones face. ughh..

We were in the Atlantic (pacific was for your time dining)

Great review and pics. I'm hoping to be on the Victory soon.

Thank you! Its a great ship ..and this also reminded me i need to finish reposting pics!

Just an FYI, if the price is posted on the site, and the price on the Hyatt site is more, you can call Hyatt and they will match the price being offered by a discounter. That way, you know you have the room.

I tried this...after being on hold for about 10 minutes she said they couldnt match that price because it wasnt "confirmed"

However I requested the rate over a week ago and JUST now got an email back with confirmation they apologized for the delay ..system problems....Ive already booked another hotel with another fantastic price.. now i have to decide between the 2...

This is what i have spent all night looking for! A taxi that will stop at drakes seat for a few mins & then go to magens!... OP did you find a taxi that would do this and what was the cost to take you to magens from havensight?

Which one of these beaches is better?I would like opinions on all aspects...beach itself....food drinks cost distance from port (i know its $50 pp for cbc).. We will be going in september

Thanks in advance!

So I know this review is old, but I've been searching reviews of the Freedom with pictures and ran across it. I've been trying to convince my boyfriend to go on a cruise for more than 10 years and it's finally happening! We will be on the Freedom in September and this will be a first cruise for both of us. He is still not interested, but I pulled the "I went to the Boundary Waters with you, so you can go on a cruise with me" card :D. (this was a canoe/camping trip in northern Minnesota where we had to canoe across one lake, carry all of our gear and canoe across the portage to the next lake, and so on. No running water, so we didn't shower and drank lake water. FOR SIX DAYS!). :eek: Yep, a cruise sounds much better to me! :)

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your review and looking at all of the pictures. We won't be on your same itinerary, but will be on the Freedom and we will be in the aft cabin directly under yours. Looking at your picture, it won't be the bigger balcony, but that's ok. Thank you for all of the tips you have included, also. As a first timer, I really don't know anything. So it's very helpful when people post tips and lots of information about the ship like you did.

 

Thanks again!

Ill be getting on the day youre getting off

& thanks to OP . great review, cant wait for antigua!!
