momof3cruisers Posted July 21, 2014 #201 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I am wondering about muster drill details. Did you go to a lounge first and then to the lifeboats or did you start at the lifeboats. I have trouble standing for very long and am trying to figure out if I need to request the alternate muster option. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleveCruiser Posted July 22, 2014 Author #203 Share Posted July 22, 2014 We just realized from your review that we missed the chocolate extravaganza. Was that advertised? Also missed the final show since the dinner ran late. Of your three servers I think the one on the left (facing us) was also one of our servers. Maybe the bread guy? The Chocolate Extravaganza was in the fun times, but I only knew about it because of the BTF tour, it was mentioned. The last show was a repeat of the 80s show at 9:45 (the comedy and magic show was earlier: 7:30). Did you get to see the 80s show? We weren't too stressed about it, figured we have about 5 years to catch them all LOL ! I really liked our wait team. They seemed to get along. With such a large group, we entertained ourselves, but everything was prompt and hot. I liked on the last ship they had a placard on the table with their names on it. I think they should do that. .

Thanks or letting us experience it with you. Really great job. Hi and thanks! It was a learning experience and a chance to reflect. The muster drill takes a while; it takes longer if they have a hard time clearing the ship/finding people? I would say we stood for at least 10 minutes, and we were not the first ones there. If you have a hard time standing...I would def seek out the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingee Posted July 22, 2014 #208 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Did they give you any little prizes from the on board tour? We took the one on another Conquest related ship. We got carved swan soaps, a little backpack and maybe something else I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We received the backpack, the lanyard, the Funships bracelet, a baseball cap, and a soap carved into a beautiful griffin. They were the icing on the cake, cause the tour is worth it. I wish they would do it earlier in the week; gives you a lot of respect for how the ship is run. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleveCruiser Posted July 24, 2014 Author #222 Share Posted July 24, 2014 . I forgot to post this one: There is only one plug in room area; I hope Carnival changes that on all future ships so we don't have to bring the extension cord. :o I did not post this one earlier. Some folks were asking about it: Carnival Freedom; Cabin 1061, 4 person capacity, convertible couch, and pullman bunk bed (which my daughter said was very comfy). .
