Phoogirl Posted February 25, 2015 #1352 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I am enjoying the Tutti Salad Bar in the MDR today. I am sitting with a great family from Maine, here they are! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi Robyn! Thank you so much for taking this great photo of my family! It actually turned out to be the only family photo from the cruise! It was such a pleasure meeting you and your lovely daughter. I so appreciated all the time you took to post everything from the cruise, it was like reliving it again with all the great pictures. I am already trying to finagle another cruise, I loved Freedom so much it is hard to pick another ship to try! Thanks again for your great live report, after watching this board for years I finally joined! Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted February 25, 2015 #1357 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Why wouldn't she? [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Exactly, there haven't been any issues with the ship this week based on the emails I have had from my Mom. They got into St Thomas around 11:30am today. Weather has been beautiful and seas have been calm. They arrived at the new terminal at 10:30 on Sunday, checked in and boarded immediately.

Great to hear - especially that the seas are calm! :) On the bridge tour, the first officer made it clear that making it to ports on time without the fixipod was not going to be an issue. Information straight from the horses mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted February 26, 2015 #1359 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was glad to see and hear she made it safely to port today. I know she's been doing great, i'm just a little anxious to know she's making it with no problems. I wonder if they worked on the system today. Someone had said they'd be working on her in St Thomas and St Maarten. Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckrobyn Posted February 26, 2015 Author #1362 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I can't help thinking of last Thursday, the day we missed Grand Cayman due to weather :cool: The ship was rocking and rolling. I wish my office chair would rock and roll. Landlocked and hating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBDOBEE Posted February 26, 2015 #1363 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hey Robyn, I enjoyed your review. Quick question about the vibration in the aft. I am scheduled to sail on 3-29 and we have one of the very aft cabins (6710). How bad was the vibration in the aft? I am thinking about seeing if I can change cabins.

Ursula Hi Ursula; From what I heard from a few passengers with aft cabins , it was pretty bad. Personally I have stayed in aft cabins on many cruises and never felt any real vibration. Maybe this is caused as a result of the propulsion system not functioning 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Captain's Corner on the Feb 2nd sailing, Capt Ron mentioned that there was still a vibration due to running the AziPods at full power. I would assume the vibration will go away after the FixiPod is repaired. in any case, the vibration was not as bad as it was on my Freedom OTS cruise in August. Thank you for your fabulous live post.

MamaTene Posted February 26, 2015 #1367 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Robyn, thanks for an amazing review! Did you folks ever have any in suite meals delivered? Also, if you have any other pictures of the suite itself, please post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were actually cruising with another couple and really enjoyed our dinner together in the main dining room. The glass table for 4 was lovely and inviting :) I believe I posted most of the suite pictures, but I will check when I get home and if there are any I missed, I will get them up here! You will love the OS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy We will be on FOS mid July in cabins 6376 and 6378 which is AFT and now I am worried about these vibrations everyone is talking about. I am wondering if I am going to have to try to change cabins. I didn't pick the front of the ship because we did that before and hear the water slamming into the ship so it kept us up. The middle didn't have any cabins available. Do you think they will get this fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, I would say it is very likely the propulsion issues will be a distant memory by July....but then again, everyone thought they would be resolved during dry dock :rolleyes: If you are really concerned about it, you may want to consider switching cabins - that is the only way you can be 100% sure at this point.
