Eileen G Posted October 27, 2009 #53 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Great review and pix. We prefer smaller ships but now you got me thinking that I'll have to give Freedom a try especially since she is so close to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanjr Posted October 27, 2009 #54 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks for all the great pictures and we will be sailing on Dec 6 and will be staying in a aft room 8712. I am anxious to hear your response to the vibration question. We were on the Mariner last year (not aft) and are looking forward to this cruise. Seeing the pictures before hand has been special:D:D Thanks.....from Joan and George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedogs Posted October 27, 2009 #55 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Awesome pictures, thank you! I'm going to start looking for a cruise on this beautiful ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM-1972 Posted October 27, 2009 #56 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:) Hi we have booked the same cabins, I notice you are going next month. Can you take some pics of the cabins and balcony. It looks like the balcony is slightly bigger. I would be grateful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazeleyez3 Posted October 27, 2009 #57 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thank you for posting pictures of the actual ship as opposed to ones such as family/friends eating in the Windjammer and/or swimming with dolphins. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QTMichele Posted October 27, 2009 #59 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? Yes! Here's the link to Richard Fain's blog where he writes about the Morgan. :) http://www.oasisoftheseas.com/chairmans-blog/chairman/whence-cometh-the-car-on-the-royal-promenade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted October 27, 2009 #61 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Grady, enjoyed reading your review and seeing the pictures. We have yet to try the larger Classes, only have been on the Radiance Class, however looking forward to our 1st Voyager Class, on the Mariner soon.

boxerdoglady Posted October 27, 2009 #62 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Can you tell me what is extra $$ on this ship? Here's what I know..Ben & Jerrys (btw-has anyone every had the room w/ the view of the cows a**:eek:), Johnny Rockets, Chops, and I am assuming Seattles. That's the part I'm unsure of because you showed the sandwiches and stuff. Are those extra as well? Thx for all the great pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akcruz Posted October 27, 2009 #64 Share Posted October 27, 2009 No the sandwiches are not extra just the coffee. The regular and decaf coffees are also free. If you want flavored, lattes, etc they are extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted October 27, 2009 Author #66 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Great pics! BTW--what kind of power strip is that? Looks nice and compact. Nunu got to it before I did, but yes it is a Belkin. I got mine at Circuit City before they went out. Its nice having the three ports plus the 2 powered USB outputs.

DarthGrady Posted October 27, 2009 Author #67 Share Posted October 27, 2009 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. I don't mind at all, you guys fell free to save any of them that you like.

It was a constant mild sway since we had fairly rough seas almost all week for some reason. It wasn't bad though, and there was no vibration from the thrusters or Azipods at all.

masterbaker Posted October 27, 2009 #72 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks for posting this pictorial review. It really brings back some great memories. We loved Freedom. You wouldn't happen to be sailing the new Carnival Dream anytime in the near future would you? :) I'd love to see this type of review of Dream before we sail next year. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife now works for a TA, and might be able to go on one of the ship tours they do for sellers of travel. If she is able to get me some pictures, I will surely post them up.
