Cruise critic is great and appreciate all the info. Question: do u realy get off the ship before 7am? ist time going thru a trsvel agent and she told us not to book a flight returning home until after 12p. so our flight home is at 2p. will we have all this time and nothing to do? do u have to get off the ship by 7am? about bags, we are using the ships shuttle from airport to ship. and same on return .do they get your bags and bring them on/off the ship? i heard the bedding was new on FOS, do u know? did u eat at any specialty rest. if so was it good? did you exercise at all? if so how was the gym? we were going to try and bring some travel bottles of liquor in our suit case, what is your take on this? did u g on any excursions? any beaches that were worth mentioning? want to take lots of scenic pics while at port, any tips? sorry this is so long, any answers would be appreciated! thanks again tarah :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarahdean Posted March 10, 2009 #785 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone know about how big the deck towels are? they are probably different than the room towels, which i have seen in pics. The room towels look fluffy and big! white as well, deck towels are tan? :confused: ok so here are a couple of questions since reading the thread.... i have upgraded to a handicapped room, deck 10 rm 1321 has anyone stayed in this room or a handicapped suite. no pics online. thanks! anyone see a movie while on board? they are suppose to be new releases, are they? hair dryers are provided, not sure how good they are? any tips? did anyone use the wi-fi in rooms? heard there was a minimal charge to use the online computers on the ship. if you aren't a preferred member can you still get good tickets to the shows and ice shows? do i still use the concierge club? thanks tarah :D;):rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarahdean Posted March 10, 2009 #788 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can you tell me how or where I can sign up for this shuttle? How much per person?Thanks! sure no problem, got the shuttle through my travel agent. I was concerned we would have to rent a car and drive from ft lauderdale to miami to meet the ship but my travel agent set me straight and worked it out. it is thru RCCL, they meet you directly at the airport at baggage claim and take to you and from ship on your return flight. $56 each person for roundtrip. we are flying southwest and it only flys into ft lauderdale, it was the cheapest flight and non stop on the way down. only 3hr 20mins. yeah!!!!!!!! hope that will help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlats Posted March 12, 2009 #792 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Freedom of the seas advertises ice skating. Do the cruisers get to skate if they wish, or is it just for performers? (I saw a photo of a skate performance). Second part of the question: If cruisers get to skate, do they rent the ice skates? Is anyone allowed to bring their own skates? (My kid is size 15 - they would never have size 15 rental skates). Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to wear long pants - I believe you can wear capris or longer. :) You can *rent* (they are free, so "borrow" is the better term ;)) the skate, or bring your own. :) Edited March 12, 2009 by QTMichele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need tickets for the ice shows though - not the evening shows in the Arcadia Theater. It wasn't hard for us to get tickets to the ice show at all!
