I believe there are two of us awaiting your reply. Thanks. I was on 8/28, no toppers as a last minute request. you should contact special needs in advance. FWIW, the steward doctored our mattress with extra duvets and it was very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always found the mattresses to confortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted September 13, 2016 #34 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well as day 2 is winding down here is what happened today, I got up and was at breakfast by 0900. After that it was time to check out a future cruise and then head to Meet and Mingle. Notice the appointment book out front. This book was there the entire cruise including embarkation. They run this so much better on Freedom than they do on many other ships. I had two ok, to annoying experiences on Jewel and one OK experience at the next cruise on a couple of other ships, but I had a great experience here, I still remember Anna from Spain earning my WOW card for that cruise.

The Grumpus Posted September 13, 2016 #35 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hi & thanks for posting the live thread, we'll be boarding Freedom in November. While looking at some of the pics you've posted, it made me wonder if you've had the chance to get into any of the pools yet, and if so was the water chilly? The last few times I've been on Oasis and Allure the pool water has felt chilly, at least a lot chillier than I'm used to (85). Just curios if it was the same way for you on Freedom since Oasis/Freedom Classes have fresh water pools. Anyway, I hope you have a great time and looking forward to seeing and reading more!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our last Freedom cruise they totally replaced the water overnight before we boarded and it was a bit chilly the first day, but its shallow enough that in the bright Caribbean sun, it warms up fast. In this photo taken Embarkation day 2015 they were still filling/aerating the pool as we boarded. The air temp that day was 72 at 11am. The water wasn't much warmer, but by the morning of day 2 it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like crawling into a pool of cold tap water on day 1.:o Oh well, if it's the same on Freedom, I'll just wait until at least day 2 before trying out the pools. Thanks, Bill!!

epcopres Posted September 13, 2016 #40 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I also have always thought the beds were comfortable. But I havent sailed on Freedom in 3 years. Have they changed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnamac123 Posted September 13, 2016 #41 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I also have always thought the beds were comfortable. But I havent sailed on Freedom in 3 years. Have they changed something? There have been reports of hard/uncomfortable mattresses. Also, reports of requesting a foam topper from special needs with success and failure. I would say the mattress quality is somewhat subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander026 Posted September 14, 2016 Author #43 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just had an Alpha Alpha Alpha call on deck 2. Just hear that as well. Hope it is nothing serious. I sounded like it was going to one of the offices on deck 2. Basically in what we call at work, Back Stage area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachcampin Posted September 14, 2016 #49 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have not been paying attention either. I don't recall seeing anything. As of today, day 4, they were still pushing drink packages. Maybe they will roll out the cards when you cannot buy the packages anymore.

Ander026 Posted September 14, 2016 Author #50 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Well we are in day 4 of this cruise as we have arrived in Jamaica. I will have pics later on today. As far a yesterday went we were in Labedee, Haiti. Once of the ship I went to the Dragons breath rocks. At one time we were able to walk all the way to the rocks. After that and a Labordoozee, I headed for a drink then lunch over by the Schooner Bar. After lunch I headed toward Columbus Cove. Then it was back to the ship for the evening activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
