"LIVE" from the Liberty of the Seas/ 1-05-08

Do they have a place nearby to rent waverunners?

 

You can rent waverunners on the dutch side. When you get off the water taxi, there are beaches right there, with waverunners for rent. The charge is $90.00 per half hr , per waverunner, not per person. If uou do longer than the 1/2 hr, you can bargin a better price!

 

Yea, this is what I did on our Freedom cruise in October. They were really fun, and reasonable if you split between 2 people. You can switch riders in the middle.

 

Speaking of our Freedom cruise, long time no talk since then.

[Radio]

If my memory serves me correctly (and I wouldn't wager any large sums of money on that :rolleyes: ), this is now the Future Cruise area where the LA sits.

 

You are correct. . . . I Think. . . The Future Cruise Consultant, and Loyalty Ambassador are in "Adventures" which is next to Cafe Promenade (not Sorrento's)

Really? Is this new? I was on the Freedom in October, and it was still on the deck 6 under the library. Also, are the positions now seperate, because when I was on the Freedom, the LA was also the future cruise consultant?

 

Thanks.

Radio - I'm really enjoying following your adventures. Didn't think I would be interested in cruising on one of the larger ships until I read your thread. The outside area of the Diamond Lounge looks so inviting!

 

Thanks.:)

Radio,

 

Really enjoyed your pictures. A couple of questions:

 

Any update of stopping the mn buffet? If so any new alternative for late night snacks if they did get rid of it and was/is lobster served or not??

I think you are right about Freedom and that Radio is actually on Liberty.. that is where the changes being talked about were made... though I may be wrong about which ship he is on.

I thought I remembered hearing that they were taking the little book nook out when building Liberty.

The LA/Next Cruise Consultant was on deck 6 on the Freedom when we were on in November.

On the Liberty the book nook was used by the future cruise consultants

The Freedom Diamond Club does have the outside area just outside the rear of the room. The doors/windows to that area have frosted glass up to about 8 feet. The door would open and you could go out. (We never did) but, there was a sign on the door that it was a one way trip, you could not come back in.

 

Apparently when Freedom was first introduced, people learned very quickly that you could just come in the back door to the Diamond Club if you did not have a key to the front door. Lots of people were freeloading the drinks. Even now, the Diamond lounge concierge makes it a point to greet you and ask who you are to verify that you have a right to be there. They also want you to turn in your keycards for the lounge on your last night (Some have been showing up on E-bay) I guess that they don't change the code for the door very often.

I don't know why it surprises me but the whole keycards showing up on ebay just pi$$es me off. As a diamond member I consider it a priviledge that I've earned (and paid for) to finally get to go to this lounge. I would NEVER even consider selling this priviledge on Ebay.....I just can't believe another diamond member would either. GRRR. :mad:

[Brad1185]

I had a cl key from the previous cruise and a cl key on the current Liberty cruise I was on. The key from the previous cruise did not work. I was told they rekey each cruise.

No one can go into the CL just because they have a key(they bought on EBay).....there is a list of names.......

[Hail Skins!]

Thanks for the information Hypo. Glad they fixed it so no crashers can come in. There is enough overcrowding in the lounges with folks who are authorized to be there.

 

Was that the door to the main Diamond lounge that was one way or the door to the rest of the deck area? It would be nice for D/D= to be able to go back and forth from the main Diamond Lounge for a second drink or for more coffee at breakfast.

[LLindaC]

Me again RADIO! HELLO!

 

Thank you for posting the TV schedule. I'm going to print it and have it next to my TV on our cruise.
