Hi, Can you tell me if the ships time stayed on Eastern Standard Time? Was the time in St. Thomas and St. Maarten an hour later than ship time? Thanks, deb

We stayed on ships time throughout the entire cruise. St Thomas and St Maarten were an hour ahead of us, but we ignored it and stayed with our ship time.

Mike Hunnerup is still on Freedom and I don't understand why they keep him on. He is not Cruise Director material in my opinion.

i am working on a way to make the choices better in the future. What ships do you want to see on the ballot?

explorer!

I saw a variation of this excel spreadsheet that helped me with scheduling different activities and thought others would find it useful. The one I am attaching is for those going on the Eastern Caribbean this year (Freedom of the Seas). Has the itenerary, meals (dinner, lunch and specialty), Flowrider schedule and other useful things. It is easily changeable to other cruises.

Thank you, that is a big help!

does anyone who has been on FOS lately have any of the wine menus?

Thanks,

Cheryl

Katie, your children are just beautiful! I have 2 grands in Columbia; an almost 4 year old granddaughter and 2 year old grandson! I love them to bits!!!!

Thanks so much for doing this!! I've never sailed on Navigator, but I will one of these days!!!! You say that you only get her for a year, then where does she go?

Happy Birthday and Bon Voyage!!!!!

Cheryl

Cheryl

WOO HOO! Better yet as we Cajuns say "Laissez les bons temps rouler" or Let the good times roll"

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :) :D :) :cool:

Oooooops, my mistake. She wasn't the Big Red Boat, it was her sister The Sun Princess that was sold to Premier along with the Oceanic.

Sorry!

My daughter and I sailed on her when she was THE BIG RED BOAT.

Every time we went to the bar on the pool deck with its aqua tile mural, we thought of Isaac!

RIP LOVE BOAT.

Kate, are you on the February 9th sailing?

If so come join our Roll Call!

Thanks,

Cheryl

Any idea who will be the CD on Freedom on February 9th??

Thanks,

Cheryl

Thank you so much for this most awesome and detailed review!

I was on her in 2009 for the exact same Eastern cruise. I had only been on the Explorer a few weeks before and I was not crazy about FOS. I'm going to give it another try next month. After reading you're entire review, I'm excited to try it!

We have similar tastes in wine, so I hope they aren't out of them!!

Than you and your wife again!

Cheryl

I'm 4 points fro diamond and i'm going on a 7 night cruise in February. Will I be able to start using the diamond lounge after the 4th night?

Cheryl

I'm helping Emmy bring the Grand Lady O home! We'll be boarding in Southampton on October 15 th. I understand there are a lot of travel agents doing Rotterdam to Southampton. Our next stop is Vigo, Spain and then FLL.

CANT WAIT! :cool: :)
