Ken at the beach Posted April 7, 2015 #2626 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Where is Navigator sailing from, Galveston? Much less desirable trip for many She's in FLL in the winter 2015 and spring 2016. There are some decent prices on her. She does 5/9 nights in winter 2016/ spring 2017 out of Miami and here are some great rates on those as well. Got a 5 day in March 2017 for the same as a 4 day on Rhapsody out of PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asaulo1 Posted April 8, 2015 #2627 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Does FOS, or RCI in general, have mid day tea times like at Princess? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 8, 2015 #2628 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Does FOS, or RCI in general, have mid day tea times like at Princess? Royal has afternoon snacks in the Windjammer (buffet), and you might find some scones there, but it's nothing like what's been reported on Princess.

Yeah, Princess has a full blown tea time in one of the dining halls complete with scones, mini sandwiches and pastries. It's actually one of my favorite activities when we were on the Royal Princess last year. It made coming back from port calls truly enjoyable.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Don't fool yourselves! Princess has a poor excuse for a proper afternoon tea! What they serve is a far cry from a scone and whipped cream is NOT clotted cream!!! Having said that it is a lot more pleasant than the crowds in the windjammer. But give me a proper scone with black current jam and then topped with good Devonshire clotted cream and a nice pot of tea and I'd be in heaven for sure!

Never experienced a proper British tea time so this was a treat for us. I'll definitely try to do a proper afternoon tea when I'm in the UK...

I am Cornish born and bred, and I love a cream tea (which is not an afternoon tea, that's something different!) and what you have described is a Cornish cream tea...scone, then jam, then clotted cream. For a Devonshire cream tea, the cream goes on before the jam. I'm a mine of useless information!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I haven't sailed on Carnival since 2012, so I'm not sure if they still do, but they had a pretty impressive afternoon tea in the MDR on both Destiny (now Sunshine) and Dream. This wouldn't be a difficult thing for RC to do, and people really do enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted April 17, 2015 #2639 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Are the karaoke booths still on Freedom after her dry dock upgrades? Booths?

euphio Posted April 17, 2015 #2641 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The booths were in the On Air Club, deck 3, aft. Right outside the normal karaoke place. Two small booths where you could do karaoke without being on a stage in front of a crowd - the only way my wife will do it! :-) We enjoyed them immensely when we were on FREEDOM in May of 2013 but I think that area was changed somewhat in dry dock.

Capt_Confusion Posted April 17, 2015 #2642 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Are the karaoke booths still on Freedom after her dry dock upgrades? They're still there, but one of them was broken last week. My kids and their friends evidently spent a lot of time down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted April 17, 2015 #2643 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The booths were in the On Air Club, deck 3, aft. Well Bob, you gave me something else to do next week. I don't think I went in there on my first Freedom cruise, but I will be sure to stop by at to try and be as helpful as you next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy116 Posted May 3, 2015 #2645 Share Posted May 3, 2015 After dry-dock, do the regular balcony cabins still have the coffee tables in the cabins? Someone said they are removing them from the cabins during drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetrail Posted May 31, 2015 #2649 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Is something happening with Freedom next summer? I looked at an August cruise I was interested in and almost every suite comes up as N/A. It shows this for a few cruises. I can't believe that everything is fully booked over a year awayDoing a B2B Dave last two weeks in April and the JS price that I paid is now more than double now!.....K.O.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansrobin Posted May 31, 2015 #2650 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Got off Freedom this morning and had a wonderful time! Good food, great CD, good shows! Booked Adventure for February while onboard. Already counting down the days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
