For now, not sure if the scrubber install will change that

 

Hoping that it stays that way fit our b2b in March. The last time we sailed on Freedom, they had ping pong tables out there. W LOVED the outdoor area on Adventure last year!

Get there by 11:30 or wait until after cabins open at 1:00 and it's not that busy.

 

What time does the windjammer open on cruise day?

We are coming down a day early so we plan on being at the ship early.

Hi,

I saw menus posted back in March or so of 2015. I'm trying to plan out what nights to skip MDR on our April cruise (Eastern). Does anyone know if those menus/schedule are still pretty accurate?

it said:

Sunday Mojo

Monday (formal) Saffron

Tuesday ****ake

Wed - Pimiento

Thurs- Basil

Fri- Jasimine (formal, the night with Lobster)

Sat- Pomodoro

 

thanks!

Hi all,

 

How formal are formal nights on freedom? Can my husband get away with a shirt and tie? Us ladies will get dressed so hopefully we can make him look more formal? ;)

Dress suggestions are not enforced. Your husband can wear whatever he wants.

I have a simple question which I cannot seem to find the answer for. Does Freedom have the Coke Freestyle machines. As a perk from TA we get a soda package. We were on Oasis but unsure if Freedom has it as well.

Yes she does. WJ and the Promenade

Thanks so much, John&LaLa!

Thanks. My husband will be happy he doesn't have to be so formal and I am grateful for more room in our luggage! ;)

Absolutely yes. 4 in the windjammer, 2 on the Royal Promenade, and I was told one in the youth area.

The order posted looks good according to my notes. Though I now now Shiitake is spelled with 2 Is, this helps it from being censored by the forum software.

Does anyone know if the Diamond Lounge has outdoor seating?

 

Yes it does. It's in the far back of the lounge. Overlooks the basketball and rock climbing venues.

No way to know until the ship starts sailing out of Port Everglades.

We recently booked the Freedom TA out of Barcelona for October 2017. It will be our first experience on a Freedom Class ship. I hope this thread continues to have great advice! I would love to see recent pictures.:)

 

Question - my DH and I like to walk a couple of miles late at night. I am not sure how the running track works on this ship. Looking at the deck plans it seems to end at the bow. Do you turn around there and reverse your direction? Seems odd. We love the protected track on the Oasis Class ships, but any track will do. In bad weather we will create an indoor route, but I do prefer to walk outdoors. Also, how late does the Fitness Center stay open at night?

I am not positive, but I believe the track used to continue all the way around the bow and after the last dry dock they added some panoramic ov cabins which interrupted the track.

The running track is continuous and now runs aft of the opening to the Solarium below. I believe the fitness center is open until 10pm or 10:30pm.

Now that you are going on Freedom, I'll make sure to chime in often. You know how much I like this ship. The running track on deck 12 is around .4 miles and can be windy. You can walk around the promenade deck 5 on the outside and it looks like the track on Oasis, but when you get to the bow you go up about 8 stairs, accross the bow and back down to the promenade. There are cabins right below these, but I know you and Steve aren't marathoners running hard and fast :) Walking probably wouldn't be an issue late at night. you will encounter smokers hanging out on the port side.

Thank you both. I guess we will figure it out. Due to bad knees I don't do stairs well, but can walk on a flat surface quite a distance. I hope I do ok with the level changes. Otherwise, I guess we will just double back! I wish the FC would be open until midnight, but I guess we are in the minority when it comes to preferred times to get our exercise. But then, I work the night shift, too!

The running track on deck 12 use to go all the way to the bow, but then they shortened it up and put cabins at the front of the ship and added a sun deck above those cabins. You get to them via a staircase. Recognize the lady on the staircase?

 

 

The track turns before this and basically does a lap around the pool and H20 zone. You may find some deck chairs out of place to navigate around.
