DarthGrady Posted October 27, 2009 Author #27 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Once the cabins opened up, we went to our room to drop off the carry on luggage. We were both surprised and happy to see that our checked bags were there waiting on us. We had room 9399, an interior cabin at the very back of the ship. While I was glad to see that the room was bigger than the one we had on Monarch; it was still smaller than the interior cabins that we have had on Carnival. Once I slid the bed against one wall, and put the coffee table in the closet the room was much easier to move around in. There are two things that they really did right in the rooms: the little sofa to sit on while watching TV, and the sliding doors on the shower. It was very nice not getting molested by the dreaded “attack shower curtain”. The water pressure in the shower was very strong. I also liked that they made the switch to flat screen LCD televisions in the rooms. They take up less space, and are mounted on a nice swivel bracket for aiming in different directions. Our cabin (pre-mod) ...and post-mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky616 Posted October 27, 2009 #31 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I was on the week before you and I'm jealous. I wish I would have taken more time to take photographs. I think you have everything covered. Good job. I didn't get that many of the Promenade and everything you took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccletzgo Posted October 27, 2009 #33 Share Posted October 27, 2009 what a great review, so far... That ship is so big, I would need a b2b just to get through it all. ;) When I was on the navigator I felt like I never made it "outside".... I wonder if this class has more outdoor spaces then the navigator did???:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtulipe Posted October 27, 2009 #36 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I was on the week before you and I'm jealous. I wish I would have taken more time to take photographs. I think you have everything covered. Good job. I didn't get that many of the Promenade and everything you took. Just right click on the ones you like and save them to your computer by selecting Save As, rename them if you wish and browse for a file location to save them to. This could be a already existing folder or a new one created for these shots. They are fairly low resolution (50 to 70 KB) shots for displaying on a monitor but if you have Vista premium or photo software on your computer there is an edit option when viewing pictures that can resize the shot so a quite good 4 X 6 print (usually 100KB minimum file size needed) can be made. Actually I have printed 4 X 6 pictures from file sizes in this range with pretty fair results but equipment for downloading your files at a commercial picture processing location may give you a warning message. Just select ignore or continue. I sure Glady won't mind if you save his shots for future enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunu Posted October 27, 2009 #37 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Great pics! BTW--what kind of power strip is that? Looks nice and compact. It's a Belkin and any big store will have them. The nice thing is the two USB connections on the end to charge devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayshappytocruise Posted October 27, 2009 #38 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks Grady! I tried to change our Monarch b-to-b to a week on the Freedom but I was too late, penalty phase....Anyway, these pics are so great I almost feel like I was there with you guys!! Can't wait to sit in one of those cantilevered hot tubs. Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balcony4u Posted October 27, 2009 #44 Share Posted October 27, 2009 hi, can i ask a quick question? we are also on deck nine aft...did you feel the ship moving more back there? we have always been mid-ship and was wondering if there was a big difference in the motion you felt. we are bringing our kids on their first cruise and i am not sure how they are going to react, as far as motion sickness...we booked aft on deck nine because they have the balcony with the inside connecting room. i am prepared with motion eaze and ginger so even if it is bad i'm hopefully covered:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne95 Posted October 27, 2009 #46 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm hooked. Love to read these reports, no matter what ship.

Papa T Posted October 27, 2009 #47 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Your pictures bring back memories of our 3 cruises on Freedom - the last one with our two young granddaughters. There is no better ship for family cruising (until Oasis). Keep up the great posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guacamole Posted October 27, 2009 #50 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Grady, great pics! Does anybody know something about the Morgan-sportscar in the promenade? I guess on our april 09-cruise this was an other one... more light blue and there were two passengers inside :-). Our son loved it! http://picasaweb.google.com/swisscruiser/Cruise200902#5339282339654429154 http://picasaweb.google.com/swisscruiser/Cruise200902#5339282950256946146 Any idea?
