Neonzebra15 Posted October 22, 2012 #1051 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I just got back at midnight this morning from my first cruise. My parents brought my brother and I on Freedom of the Seas. It was not only a wonderful ship with wonderful things to do, it also had a wonderful crew! From the waiters and room service to the entertainers and directors, it was very satisfying. I got sick thinking about going home. There were two crew members that I really enjoyed, the Activity Director named Jamie, and the Cruise Director, Graham Seymour. They both kept the laughs going constantly. When you're around Graham and/or Jamie, there is definitely NO shortage of fun. I woke up this morning hoping I would wake up in my stateroom. The Rock Britannia is so much fun! I got some weird looks while at it, because I was probably the youngest person there that was listening to and enjoying the music. If anyone knows where I can get Graham's CD or DVD, I would really appreciate being informed! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonzebra15 Posted October 22, 2012 #1052 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi AllWell its that time again return to the Freedom after 8 short weeks but return with Mrs Seymour !!!:) Wedding was great beautiful weather just us and two close friends Inlaws came over from france on Sunday after spending 9 days there visiting Bex's older sister They have never flown before and they have already travelled from New Zealand - Paris Channel Tunnel - London Then tomorrow London - Orlando where they will cruise with us for the first time on the 30th then fly back to NZ hence flying around the world !! We spent the day up at my folks farm with my brothers and there families ...laugh a minute that was too the point where my stepfather couldnt figure out why there was no wine coming out....it called a cork !! much laughter due to that and drinks leading up to that. Took them to see a castle that blew them away all the history...seeing as New Zealand is only 11 years old......ok a bit longer but it like that compared to the UK Spent yesterday in London went everywhere and then to the musical Wicked great times see some of you soon Graham Had so much fun this last week on the Freedom! You were brilliant! Definitely made the cruise 3 trillion 499 billion 762 million 456 thousand 998 hundred and 2 times more fun. But, my parents have been getting pretty perturbed with all my whining about wanting to be on the ship. You and Jamie are both hilarious, keep up the good work! P.S.- Your Rock Britannia coat was awesome. P.P.S.- My parents are going to hate you, because you made me want to live in the UK, except my Dad, because he loves you and your buzz lightyear suit AND Puke Skywalker. Best Wishes, Ellie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have any comments on Rich Edwards? I like Blairs as well. Was looking forward to having them on 11/1 since last time we were on the ship they thought their vacation would start on the 17th. According to one of the recent posts it looks like things have changed and Luke Arrowsmith will be on for our November and December cruises.

He really wants everyone around him to enjoy their cruise experience, it is only over the last year that he has moved up from AM, but really deserves to be CD. :D We Love Rich E :) Anybody have any comments on Rich Edwards?
