justforkicks Posted November 10, 2012 #276 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Radio, I have to share a quick story with you. I am a meeting planner and was at the Hyatt Chesapeake (if you’ve never been there I highly recommend it) yesterday morning. I was setting up the meeting space at 7:00 AM when a very nice hotel staff member asked if there was anything she could get me. Yes, I would love a small cup of coffee. She returns with the biggest cup of Starbucks coffee I’ve ever seen, knowing full well if I drank all that I would be bouncing off the walls. But then she says if you want more just keep the cup and you can get free refills all day! OMG I thought, Radio would love this!:eek: Thanks for your great review!

micmacmissy Posted November 10, 2012 #277 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The Library was on my Deck (7), but I never stopped to read. . .Ooops Why are the ship libraries always so empty and depressing? I know there are a lot of people on board, so why don't they have more books and magazines?? (Thank you for your most EXCELLENT reviews, Radio!!!)

ckrobyn Posted November 10, 2012 #278 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Radio, Once again you have outdone yourself with this Amazing Live Report! Admittedly it was a little hard following your reports since I was supposed to be on this cruise too!!!!! Oh well, the AOS awaits me for 2 weeks in February :D I'm so glad that you are enjoying yourself and that the weather has mostly cooperated :) Looking very forward to Explorer 2013!!!! Have a relaxing sea day and a safe trip home!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted November 10, 2012 #279 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The Champagne Bar was my favorite watering hole aboard Oasis. I was just curious Radio if you stopped there and if so what was your favorite drink? Again, your live report is awesome. You always outdo yourself IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiring soon Posted November 10, 2012 #280 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hi all! Radio ~ I've been following along, enjoying the cruise. I love Freedom of the Seas!:D I was wondering do you ever go to Sorrentos? It's much better than the one on Oasis. Thanks for taking us along. My next cruise is in May to Bermuda after seeing your beautiful pictures last year.;) ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted November 10, 2012 Author #281 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hello everyone. . .Welcome to Day 7 of “LIVE” from Freedom of the Seas. Today is our last day at sea. Let’s just start off this post by saying how much I dislike the final day of the cruise. Ok, that’s it, enough complaining! Here it is! There will be lots of activities today. Of course, I will have to spend some time packing, but there is a lot of exciting entertainment on the schedule for today. I am especially looking forward to the Navigational Bridge tour this afternoon. That is always a highlight of my cruise. There are still many things that I have yet to try, and I will attempt to get a couple of them done today. There is a 3-D movie this afternoon, the “Action Max” game show tonight and the Flow Rider competition. Some of you may be surprised, but I woke up very early this morning. I thought that it would be nice to get some sunrise photos for our final day at sea. During the last 24 hours, we have had rough seas-much rougher seas than we have had this week. Our seas this week had been extremely calm up until yesterday. We have experienced lots of pitch and roll throughout the night. At least the sun has come out, and it looks like the weather should improve as the day goes on. We are currently about 173nm east/south east of Coco Cay. We should be arriving to Port Canaveral past Jetty Park by around 5 AM tomorrow morning. More pics later. . .thanks for tuning in. Radio Olive or Twist Lounge - Deck 14 More Olive or Twist. . . Early morning pool deck. . . The skies appear to be clearing. . . Early morning sunrise over Flow Rider. . . Here is our current position. . . .

Rare Radio Posted November 11, 2012 Author #292 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hello everyone. . . I sit in the Radio “press room” for my last nightly post on board the beautiful Freedom of the Seas. I was able to do many things today including the Bridge Tour, Flow Rider, FreedomFEST and the Dreamworks “Move It! Move It!” Parade. The Bridge Tour was my favorite activity of all. The Second Officer was generous enough to share many types of the equipment that the officers use on a daily basis. He is very confident in his role as a Bridge Officer and it really shows, based on his enthusiasm about his job. My adventure on the Flow Rider was less than perfect. I was definitely the oldest guy in line. I think the average age of the participants was 13! I gave it a go and was able to last for a few minutes until I wiped out. It was a lot of fun (but the water was very cold.) I finished my evening off by enjoying a delicious dinner at Chops Steakhouse. I would have to say that all meals I had this week were very good and I enjoyed conversation with many friends. We will be arriving into Port Canaveral very early tomorrow morning and as usual I will have photos of our arrival. I have dozens of photos that have not been posted and I will be scanning each Compass for this cruise, as well as other information. I will be doing this over the next several days. Tomorrow I board the Auto Train in Sanford, FL for my trip back home. The first passengers are scheduled to disembark around 6:45AM. I am in no rush and plan to be the last passenger off the ship. Thanks to everyone for all of the very nice comments. . .and thanks so much for tuning in. Radio A view from the Bridge this afternoon. . . This is a view from the Starboard Bridge wing. . . There is a lot of room up here on the Bridge Passengers were waiting along the Promenade, and up to Deck 8 on the Forward Centrum Kids and Families loved the Dreamworks Parade !
