Mike & Tracy’s Excellent Adventure: B2B2B2B on Destiny, Imagination, Valor, Freedom

[gail811]

Love seeing the Freedom as answers under FAVORITES! Thanks for all the pictures of the rooms on the ship too! They really help us familiarize ourselves with the layout. Although I still have trouble on the conquest class ships with deck 3 not going from end to end on the ship!

Favorite ship: Freedom

Favorite cruise: Valor

Favorite port: Key West

 

Tracy

 

Favorite ship: Destiny

Favorite cruise: Valor

Favorite port: Grand Cayman

 

Arielle

 

Favorite ship: Freedom

Favorite cruise: Imagination

Favorite port: Cozumel

 

Mitchel

 

Favorite ship: Freedom

Favorite cruise: Freedom

Favorite port: Cozumel

 

Of course "The Favorite Cuise" part is a loaded question how could either of you answer differently since the question was, esssentially, "Was your favorite cruise where you renewed your vows or was it some other cruise." ;)

 

Our kids love Cozumel too!

 

Did you like Miami or FLL better as a departure port?

Our rooms were ready at 1:30 p.m.. We had balcony room, 6395, mid ship, a few door down from the laundry room. It’s convenient when you want to iron something. The kids were in 6393, an A1 inside room, just like the one they had on the Valor. Peter and Rosemary were next to us in 6399.

 

We met our room steward, Raymond, he was fantastic. Kept calling me Mr. Mike and Tracy, Mrs. Tracy. All week long it was " Good morning Mr. Mike" "Have a nice day Mr. Mike and Mrs. Tracy" " How was your day Mr. Mike and Mrs. Tracy".

 

We had our balconies opened between the two rooms. This time I had to go to guest services to make the request. Raymond told me they have strict rules on the Freedom, he could not do it without permission from his supervisor.

 

Our rooms were almost identical to the rooms on the Valor. Sofa with two large drawers underneath, a large closet, a small fridge, a television with an interactive menu that showed your sail & sign bill, dinner menu each night, the ship’s location, etc.

Mike -

 

I am enjoying your review very very much.

 

We will be on the Freedom in November and have a balcony room next to yours and also the 1A room. Can you please tell me if you had any noise from Deck 5 below?

 

I look forward to reading the rest of your review on the Freedom?

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to write.

Doing great! Love reading about this. That many B2B's are not in the cards for us right now, but what a phenomenal way to spend a vacation with your family.

 

 

Thank you, Jule

We also preferred it because we had our good friends with us along with Tracy's parents.

I preferred Miami.

Decks 3 and 4 since the Chic Dining Room covers two floors. I know what you mean, at times I would forget and have to go up or down a floor to get across when I couldn't cut through the dining room.

I have been having a wonderful time reading your adventures. Noticed that you are getting close to 100,000 views! Congrats on being so popular!

 

Now, on to more of the review! I've never been on the Freedom and it looks beautiful!

[seguincruiser]

Can't say how much I appreciate all the pics. Seeing your rooms really makes me wish it was January and I was on my cruise. Thanks again for taking the time to share this rare B2B2B2B with us.

Thank you kjunea, It's wild, 100,000, I thought maybe 10,000 to 20,000 for a long review.

Chef's table

 

 

It was close to 10 p.m when we finished and we returned to our room. The two bottles of liquor that had been seized were not in our room. I called housekeeping and I was told they came at 8.00 p.m and no one was there to sign for it.

 

They told me it would be there soon. At 11:30 p.m I called again explaining we wanted to go to bed and was told again it would be there soon. They woke us up at around 1:30 a.m, not happy but not going to let little things put a damper on our vacation.

 

 

This happened to us on our last sailing, wasnt happy as I waited up until it was delivered. Luckily on the 2nd call we received our purchase in about 10 minutes. I hope you sent them a letter asking them to address this. I sent them a nice note telling them about all the goods, but also noted that this area needs improvement.

Enjoying your review!

Your review and photos are great but I'm wondering now if I somehow missed the part about Key West or haven't you gotten to it yet? If I missed it, what page is it on? Leaving Sat on the Freedom!

Serenity Adult-Only Retreat. This kids-free oasis is one area where Freedom clearly has an edge over Valor, Destiny and Imagination.
