cricket32000 Posted February 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2010 How was the weather in Nassau.. Sailing on the sensation this weekend and afraid that the water will be too cold to swim in... We sailed on the Sensation on 1-31-2010. On Sunday it was windy,Monday rained all day in Freeport. But Nassau was sunny and about 80 degrees. The water was cool when you got in but you got used to it and was beautiful day for the beach. Hope you have nice weather and a great cruise.

I would be happy to answer any questions anyone might have. Sailing on the sensation in oct. for a 3 day cruise also. How was your experience on the sensation? Was it rocking alot, and does the boat look run down? Also, is there alot to do on there. Sorry for alot of questions, but I'm just so curious and excited.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovetocruise123 Posted February 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2010 How did you like the Freedom. Food, entertainment, cabins? Please tell me your pros and cons. We are considering March, 2010. That or the Miracle.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for alot of questions, but I'm just so curious and excited.:D Sensation was completely refurbished in about January 2009, so NO---it doesn't look run down. I cruised on her in January 2010. It did not rock. The most movement we noticed was on the last night, and that was attending one of the shows. GREAT cruise! We loved it!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winniemom Posted February 17, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have a tendency to sea sickness, is staying on the Main Deck too low, is there a lot of motion? I'm getting a Balcony Room, is the Balcony room on the Main Deck very close to the ocean, so if I'm sitting on the Balcony, I'll get wet? Sailing on March 7th, is water pretty cold in the Bahamas? Thanks for any advice you can give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of5G Posted February 18, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i just posted on your other cc thread... Wanted to know about entertainment..cruise director and food We enjoyed the nightly shows and saw all but one on both cruises. I liked the shows on the Sensation better. We also saw one of the adult comedy shows on the Freedom. He was funny. The Sensation CD was not memorable, the Freedom CD, however, was and his names was Filipe. He was funny. We enjoyed the food on both cruises and tried the supper club on the Freedom. It was superb. I can provide you with more specifics if you are interested.

We did'nt go in the water for fear of the same thing. The reports leading up to our trip were not favorable, but as it turned out, it was beautiful.

Sorry for alot of questions, but I'm just so curious and excited.:D The last evening we felt some rocking during the theatre show but that was all. It was nothing serious. The ship was recently in drydock and looked beautiful. It did not show its age at all. It was very well kept and clean. We did the "Behind The Fun" tour. You should try to do that on the last sea day. Very insightful. Lots to do. You will not get board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or the Miracle.:confused: We enjoyed it alot. The only issue I had is that the Posh Dining Room is hard to get to, but once you figure that out, your'e fine. The Serenity Deck is real nice. Adults only, and quiet. The supper club was excellent. It was the first time we tried a supper club, but we though it was well worth the extra $30 per person. Food in the dining room and buffets were also good. Room service is spotty. You have to be very specific with your order and the order card in your room or you won't get any cream and sugar! We had an inside cabin on deck 9. I loved the proximity to the pool and outside. Our cabin was always clean and our steward took very good care of us. The entertainment was good and there was also some adult comedy available a couple of nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get wet, but a main deck balcony is certainly closer than an upper. Personally, I would try to get at least an upper deck balcony, midship. I did'nt go in the water in Nassau. You might check the Bahamas thread about March weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamaphotopro Posted February 18, 2010 #18 Share Posted February 18, 2010 On the Sensation: TC Tahoe On the Freedom: Tony Esposito, Mark Hawkins Mark Hawkins started slow, but got funnier as the show went on ... but Tony Esposito cracked me up. I found him to be very, very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of5G Posted February 18, 2010 Author #19 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I liked both of Tony's shows. I have seen 2 adult shows now. This one and one one the Triumph. They are DEFINATELY adults only!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goscudder Posted February 20, 2010 #20 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Another question....since they added the adults only Serenity area on the Freedom, is the Endless Pool area in the back of the Lido deck still adults only too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisefool143 Posted February 20, 2010 #22 Share Posted February 20, 2010 We are sailing the Freedom on March 27th and I am wondering about the outdoor movie theatre. Did they have currennt movies and how often did they run? For some strange reason, I can't find any threads about them. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herdercruiser Posted February 25, 2010 #25 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Did you book any excursions on your Carribean cruise? Any recommendations on what to do or not do in ports? Will be cruising with my daughter in May and heard negative things about Ocho Rios specifically. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
