Merion_Mom Posted January 6, 2008 #77 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hello everyone ! Thanks for all of the nice comments. I really love to do the “Live” reports, and I am glad it is a help to other Cruisers, or future Cruisers. We are heading to San Juan, which is about 860nm, at a speed of about 21knts. The Captain said that we should arrive at about 3PM. We will be docking at the New RCI Pier. . . Well it was built in Sept 2006, so it is kind of new to me. . . . I was in San Juan on Explorer at the Passenger Terminal in 2006, and was told that the NEW RCI Pier was opening up the next day. The best comment so far was by the Captain right before we left Miami. ”Welcome aboard to all Liberty of the Seas Passengers, we should get this thing started soon. . . . If I can find the keys ? ?” It should be a fun cruise. . . Rick Novel (Ladder Guy) was great tonight. . .he had the crowd in stitches ! Ok, who and what is this "Ladder Guy"???????

Rare Radio Posted January 6, 2008 Author #78 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Ok, who and what is this "Ladder Guy"??????? He is a very funny Comedian/Entertainer, that I have seen many times on RCI, and Celebrity ships ! I saw him last on Grandeur (July 2007 in Bermuda) Once you catch his act. . .you will be a fan !

SherriZ366 Posted January 6, 2008 #79 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Great posts and pictures Radio -- thanks!!!!! Was it an easy drive to the port? How was traffic? We are staying near I-595 and the turnpike in Fort Lauderdale (about 45 minutes away) and driving to the Freedom the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise34 Posted January 6, 2008 #80 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Radio, you are amazing! If I hadnt sailed on the Liberty last Sept. I would be booking it right now. But...after the fabulous Liberty cruise we had, we are booked on the Freedom in Aug. Love those Freedom class ships. You are bringing back all the great memories of our Liberty cruise. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPetiteNancy Posted January 6, 2008 #81 Share Posted January 6, 2008 wow, cool! I love your *live* review radio! It feels like we really are sailing with you, I love that! My husband and I (and 10 other friends) will also be sailing the 12th of April with rbfcruise, CR-JW and pinkrosedeb and we can not wait! you make my wait a little less painful, thank you for that! I'm anxious to come back from work later so I can come and read your review. anyways, I have a few, maybe weird, questions for you.. -In the jacuzzi (the one hanging outside the boat, near the solarium) is the water hot? -is it freshwater or saltwater? -is it very crowded? -in your room, if you open the sofa, (hummm I search my words, sorry, my first language is french), hum .. can you like walk between the bed and the desk? we are 4 in a balcony cabin and it looks like there will be no more space for me to go pee during the night (we sleep on the bed and the other couple in the sofa bed and it looks like i will have to pass over them while sleeping so i can go to the bathroom lol) -Do they change the bed everyday? (we are thinking of one night sleeping in the bed and the other in the sofabed, to give the chance to the other couple to sleep in the bed too..) but if the sheets are not change everyday... Sorry if you think those are silly questions, lol.. but curious me wants to know, hehehe thank you! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISFANS3 Posted January 6, 2008 #83 Share Posted January 6, 2008 RADIO- Keep up the good work,like the pics, We will be on her May 24 08 eastern also. Did you ask for a upgrade in cabin at the pier?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxiecat3 Posted January 6, 2008 #84 Share Posted January 6, 2008 -in your room, if you open the sofa, (hummm I search my words, sorry, my first language is french), hum .. can you like walk between the bed and the desk? we are 4 in a balcony cabin and it looks like there will be no more space for me to go pee during the night (we sleep on the bed and the other couple in the sofa bed and it looks like i will have to pass over them while sleeping so i can go to the bathroom lol) We were in a E-1 balcony on the maiden Liberty OTS cruise also with 4 people. I would say you have about 1 foot clearance between sofa bed and desk -Do they change the bed everyday? (we are thinking of one night sleeping in the bed and the other in the sofabed, to give the chance to the other couple to sleep in the bed too..) but if the sheets are not change everyday... Just ask your room steward to change everyday and if you feel it necessary, you can explain why. Nancy Hope you have a good cruise. Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosebud1g Posted January 6, 2008 #85 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Radio Do you have pics of the Intercontinental? How did you get that hotel? Isn't it $$$$? I want to stay there, but dont want the price that comes along with it. How do you share a room with another couple? The room is TINY to begin with!

Nancy Rather than ask him to change the sheets every day, why not just switch out mid week(having to change the sheets then??)... I think you're going to be awfully crowded with 4 adults in one cabin and more importantly one bathroom!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're going to be awfully crowded with 4 adults in one cabin and more importantly one bathroom!!:eek: We had 4 in a room one time and survived!!:eek: It was my friend's first cruise and they really weren't too keen on going but I knew once they went, they would be hooked for life, so I really wanted to keep the costs down for them! Well, it worked, they got hooked and now they cruise with us all the time (in separate rooms)!!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted January 6, 2008 Author #89 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hello everyone ! Today is a wonderful Sea Day, and the order of the day is swimming, sunning, and relaxing. We are heading steady toward San Juan at 20.5 kts, and the weather is cooperating with beautiful skies, and a forecast of Sunny and Warm (79f). I got up early today to try out the Spa in the Solarium, and I can tell you that it is a very strange feeling hanging over the ship at 11 decks high above the Ocean. The ship was rocking heavily, so I didn’t stay in for long, but it was very nice and relaxing. The water in all pools and spas is freshwater, so there is no saltwater to burn the eyes. I will go up later to attempt the Wall and Flo-Rider, if my nerve is up to speed. The Solarium pool is for Adults only, and the Main pool is for all guests. The H2O Zone is for kids only, and today I am sure that all pools will be occupied ! After the Cruise Critic Meet and Mingle get together, I will try to see as much as the ship and new public areas as possible. I did stop up to the Diamond Lounge last night, and I can say that it was very smart to have this lounge up on Deck 14. The views are beautiful, the Concierge (Ricardo Mock) is very nice, and will try to do anything that you may need. The Concierge Lounge is on Deck 10, which is where it should be since most of the Suites are on Deck 10 (On Voyager Class Ships, the Concierge Lounge was on Deck 9, where there were no suites) I need to grab a coffee, and head up to Olive or Twist (Deck 14) for our CC meeting. More pics will be posted later. . . Thanks for tuning in ! ! Radio Morning View from the Spa Celebrity Constellation heading back to Fort Lauderdale H2o Zone Pool Its going to be a Sunny day !

Lynn the Cruiser Posted January 6, 2008 #92 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I know my BIL will do the flo-rider!!! We will watch him! Can't wait to hear if you try it!!! I'm looking at the last name of the concierge and it is the same as friends that will be cruising with us!!! That will be funny. Maybe they are long lost relatives!:eek: How are the cookies in the Cafe??? How are your food experiences so far???? So many questions....we're going to drive you crazy! I have more but will save them for another time! Keep up the good pics and have fun at the M&M...hope you win some prizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindyscruise Posted January 6, 2008 #96 Share Posted January 6, 2008 We are so enjoying your live review. Seems like there are not too many reviews from the liberty. I don't go till June. Love your pictures. Thank you so much for doing this. Continue to have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted January 6, 2008 #97 Share Posted January 6, 2008 from what I've seen of your pics so far, Liberty is exactly the same as Freedom. I reconized the pool areas, cabin, and Spinx lounge as having exactly the same decor as what I saw on Freedom. I saw the Pier Coordinator desk when we were on Freedom, do you just walk up to the desk and ask? Do you make an appointment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cot427 Posted January 6, 2008 #99 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yep, the pictures look exactly like the Freedom. I have a good memory of what the look like, because I was on the Freedom in October, but they do look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1010Transistor Posted January 6, 2008 #100 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I LOVE the name of that bar 'Olive or Twist'! I am super happy to hear that the pools are freshwater! I found the hard way on one of my first cruises with you that there was saltwater in those things! Anyway, have an awesome cruise dad! Don't sweat the flowrider thing-if you have to, just boogie board & lie on your stomach...that's what I would do! No shame, wiping out hurts! More pics!!!!!!!
