heatherb1958 Posted August 29, 2016 #76 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Met Sanjay last night in CL, he will be on till Oct 23 Following along , thanks for posting . We sail on Freedom for the first time in November. I knew Sanjay had gone to her, sorry we will miss him by only a couple of cruises. He made the cruises on Vision out of Tampa and the TAs fantastic with the events he organised, so many special memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted August 29, 2016 #77 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Good connection in cabin, but speestest say ping of 194, download .50 and upload .10 Those are some pitiful numbers, especially the upload - scope certainly won't work at those levels.

Rare John&LaLa Posted August 29, 2016 Author #78 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Sitting in Boleros, somewhere off the coast of Cuba. No rain but still windy. Internet connection is good, but speed is abysmal. Here are some pics of our cabin. We thought we had to put our seapass in the light switch, but it turns out that any card will work. The slider says that air conditioning won't work if door is not locked, but that is not accurate. There is also a child lock on the slider for those worried about safety. The TV is really big. Balcony is small, but chairs recline and our cabin steward brought us a foot stool. We also have the tall table. Some of this is probably unique to these new cabins added during last drydock Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted August 29, 2016 Author #80 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Here are some shots from this morning. St Tropez was closed due to high winds Laura enjoying the breeze Pool deck was hopping Here is the door to our hallway, we set up camp right next to it We have mixed feelings about the cabin location. It's perfect for laying out on deck 12, but I think we prefer the aft elevator. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted August 29, 2016 #81 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Great so far! Will definitely be following along as my friend and his family are on this sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 29, 2016 Author #82 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Like I said earlier the Samsung TV is huge and has lots of HDMI inputs It also pulls out from the wall to adjust the view. Lots of storage. Desk and mirror is not very spacious Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Edited August 29, 2016 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 29, 2016 Author #83 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The bed was definitely firm, and they have no egg crates. Our cabin steward did add some pads, or duvets and it was fine. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "proof of life" picture from my son yet, but this is the one from our March cruise. She looks kind of sad Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 29, 2016 Author #87 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I ordered Laura her pink wine in CL last night. But she passed on it in favor of Peach Martini. She made the right choice. [emoji6] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted August 29, 2016 Author #89 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Did you or Laura win BIG at M&M? :p No love for us from Royal at M&M, several decent gifts for the lucky ones It was originally scheduled for 10am on day 3, but they moved it to today. In VCL so you could go to DL and get a coffee. Edited August 29, 2016 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 29, 2016 Author #90 Share Posted August 29, 2016 John, are these the prices if you just buy a single device package for one 24-hour period? On other ships, people are reporting $13 per day for surf and $18 per day for stream for one device, but these prices are if you buy for the entire cruise. There were several packages available to bring price down. I don't recall the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leosmom08 Posted August 29, 2016 #93 Share Posted August 29, 2016 We were in 1804 earlier this year and there was quite a bit of wind noise. We also noticed a lot more creaks and groans from the ship structure. Are you experiencing similar noises in your room? I'm curious as we were very front and center...

truffles2 Posted August 29, 2016 #94 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Met Sanjay last night in CL, he will be on till Oct 23 Sanjay is a great HD IMHO. Glad he will be there when we sail on the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc cruiser Posted August 29, 2016 #95 Share Posted August 29, 2016 John, what deck is your stateroom, and is it forward? We are sailing Sunday on FOS and we like aft, so we are on deck nine, the same as last Sept. On FOS but we were port side and this time starboard. Thanks for the nice pictures you are posting.

Jeepers2011 Posted August 29, 2016 #96 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Enjoying your pictures! My kids are on this cruise, and first time I've logged on to this site.
