Mrsfabo Posted August 25, 2013 Author #27 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I have 110 days to go. I will be on the Empress deck in an aft balcony as well. Do they have reclining chairs on the extended balconies? Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Yes we had reclining chairs and the balcony was definitely bigger than average Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrsfabo Posted August 25, 2013 Author #29 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Day 2 Freeport- woke up pretty early to see the sunrise gorgeous on the ocean then had coffee and went to the gym. I wanted to comment on the food I love their breakfast especially in the dining room very tasty with a lot of selections, however wasn't a big fan of the dinner at all. I'm not a big meat eater so most nights I just ate a salad but the family I was with loved the dinners. I think they need more seafood selections for dinner. This was also formal night the lobster and shrimp never disappoint!!! Here is my family we always have a great time Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted August 25, 2013 #30 Share Posted August 25, 2013 No hair dryer smh none at all /quote] Usually, you can just ask the cabin steward for a hair dryer, and he/she will loan you one. I too, LOVE "Ecstasy", and have sailed her several times. GREAT SHIP! "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsfabo Posted August 25, 2013 Author #31 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Got to Freeport been there before so wasnt much of a surprise the cab driver let us know that Carnival owned a lot of the island so that's why they go there to generate revenue. I wanted to say something about the ship itself moving the ship was fine had a mild sewage odor but not to bad unfortunately as the days went on this was on the Empress floor even side mid ship didn't totally reach the back but the snitch was incredible and cruisers started to complain and by the third day people were getting irate not sure how they rectified the problem but I know some people were moved.

Mrsfabo Posted August 26, 2013 Author #36 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Day Three ok everybody I'm back sitting on my balcony every morning I would see the sun rise then the gym it always seemed like the day was going to be cloudy then nothing but blue skies. I was looking forward to going to Nassau to the Atlantis but the group I was with wanting to go to the free beach initially I was disappointed because I was like what's to do at cable beach it's free lol but to my surprise it was a dj, food, chairs, umbrellas, the works! We even went on jet skies the surf was a little tough but incredible the heat was incredible it was 92 but felt like clear over 100 but that beautiful ocean was well worth it! I stayed in that water for hours it was cool and refreshing. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter was on the Ecstasy 4 day cruise August 8-12 and she stayed on the Empress deck, port side. The only negative thing she said about the entire cruise was that awful sewage smell that you also experienced. That's so unfortunate.
