We just got off the ship. We were sad to go. Tonight we are hoteling in South Beach before we head back to Ohio. I will be posting the Freestyle Dailys here for the week, my thoughts, and a few other things.

Todd liked them two, though his favorite were the painkillers.

Disembarkation thoughts:

 

I really like the option to choose for yourself instead of having the cruise line figure out for you.  I also like that you can stay in the room until 9:00am.  The lines were long getting off the ship. It took us about 30 minutes.  We left right at 9:00am.  They were ahead in time so we were able to start leaving about 15 minutes early.  

 

Customs was easy in Miami.  We just grab out bags, showed our passports and left the building.  We were able to walk across the street and grab a Lyft.  No problems with finding the driver. 

 

Day 2 Freestyle Daily is below.

The Atrium-

I do not like how they have many of the good shows in the Atrium.  It's too small.  It is hard to find a seat, it's in the middle of folks walking around and it's hard to find anyone to get order a drink from.  The shows seem excellent but many times we found ourselves just walking past. 

 

Day 3 Freestyle Daily

The internet- 

 

I went with the unlimited premium.  I purchased before the cruise and saved a bit of money. It ended up being just over $200.  WiFi was all over the cruise and I always had a signal.  At times, I was able to watch Hulu, Netflix and Prime with no problems.  At others, the internet didn't seem to work.  I did realize that you sometimes need to click on a browser go to logon.com (or login.com) and re-enter your information.  It would then work again.  

 

For a ship it was okay.  Celebrity Equinox has been by far the fastest I've ever experienced.  It was awesome.  Princess Regal was also quite nice.  I would put this one as third now. 

 

Day 4 Freestyle Daily

Entertainment:

 

We saw Havana and Jersey Boys.  As stated before, we loved Havana.  Jersey Boys was also a great show.  I wasn't sure if I would like the reservation options but we were able to find front row seats in both shows and we were there about 15 mins before.  So I think it's better than just showing up and trying to find a seat.  

 

We were not able to see any of the comedy shows.  Also as mentioned above, we say bits and pieces of the atrium shows.  They looked fun. Just wish they were in a better setting. 

 

The casino was much better placed than the casino on the Getaway.  The walled off smoking area was nice as well.  The staff was friendly and always there for a drink. 

 

Any other questions?

 

Day 5 Freestyle Daily

The drink package. 

 

For us, it was nice to have.  I think I tried a couple of drinks.  Todd had several a day.  But it wouldn't be worth it for us to buy it outright. But still nice to be able to pretty much get what you want.  Many times they didn't even ask us for a card.  I think probably 99% of folks have it now.

Returning from Port days:

 

They have it nicely set up. They have cooling towels, replacement beach towels, water, juice, sometimes ice cream and dance walkways.
