Hi Jarvis.

Just sent you a friend request. I was listening to the replay and heard you have a review on Cruise Critic so I immediately got on to read it... Now I have to play catch up lol

Up at 5:30am, Freedom already alongside. Looks like people will be making their early flights today

Have fun but be careful at VCB. There was a deep drop off as soon as we entered the water when we were there. Between that and the huge waves, many people had trouble getting in and out of the water (esp. out). My DH had to help several people get out of the water.

 

Have a wonderful cruise! We love FOS and will be on her in Oct.!:cool:

Ken,

 

the concierge on HOS just emailed me saying that the 2 OTW and 2 Beach are currently reserved for star guests, but I'm on the waiting list

my question is are the sand cabanas worth it? we do like having a private spot. what do they look like do they differ from the other 2 types?

 

thanks

Nice view out of the JW - getting me into to cruise mode

 

 

A 49 min ride from Miami to Port Everglades - the rain was insane!!!!! The slowest security checkpoint to gain access to the port, 25 mins, then over to 29 to drop the bags.

 

 

 

A quick ride to FLL to drop the rental car and a cheap Uber back to the port

 

 

 

Term 29 was easy breezy @ 1pm - 20 mins door to ding including the picture.

The remainder of the Live portion will be on Periscope @kcjarvis. The Voom picture upload is shaky. I have a ton of pictures a will finish the CC review when I’m home. If you aren’t on Periscope, this is what you have been missing:
