All Activity

Just caught up with what my fellow Canadian cruise friends have been up to on Freedom. Looks like a good time has been had, and more importantly a smooth flight down. I look forward to your final thoughts on the Genie program. Also your thoughts on how you found the accessible JS; like the shower with a trough floor drain, a bathroom that you don’t step up into and possibly with the tile floor and maybe you have a fold down ramp at the balcony door for exterior access. Having toured accessible rooms before on Oasis Class ships, I have seen some touches the ship architects have put in. Sabrina, I will say you made me hungry and reminded me how much I have missed the wave. Say hi Justin for me and I hope he’s feeling a better from his fall. Ask him how he likes the inflatable wave VS the normal style. Let him know I like the normal one, but I’ll accept any wave over the option of none.

Cats doesn’t have a “plot”. It’s based on the Book of Practical Cats by TS Elliot & is a series of vignettes with a very loose theme running through them. You can’t look at it as a traditional musical.

That doesn’t even sound appealing to me, lol. Mason Jar has deep fried Oreos that are pretty good though. Wow, with all the fried food in the US, that’s a new one. I need to find it now!

I beg to differ. Scottish fish and chips is FAR superior to English fish and chips!! Chippies (the name for a shop that sells fish and chips) all serve up in different means. Some serve in boxes now, some still put a piece of grease proof paper on what would be newsprint (not printed on, just plain newsprint paper). There is nothing quite like opening a bag of chips and the smell of vinegar hitting you smack in the face, it’s a very comforting smell Also, can I just state for the record, no matter what anyone tells you, Scottish people do not regularly eat deep fried mars bars. If you ever find yourself in chippie that sells them, run. I have reached 40 years living in Scotland and could count on one hand the number of chippies I have encountered that have sold this. It’s performative for tourists. We do batter and deep fry pizzas though

Weird. I've certainly had the same dish come out better one time than another but not such big differences in size. I feel like Izumi will be a "smaller" meal for me regardless as all the small plates seem to live up to their name and I'll be getting sushi for my large plates which isn't heavy. Not a complaint given it's during the UDP and we're only going there for lunch, just an observation. Maybe even a good thing since I'm supposed to be ordering smaller meals and will be trying to make use of my credits, lol. It will be much harder to not order everything I like at MJ and GK and wanting to try different things at the other restaurants we don't normally dine at. Maybe we should have kept the UDP for all 7N... ... nah, no regrets. Man am I hungry though.

That's so true! My MIL (now 85) was born and raised in England and lived in Scotland for a few years in her early 20's before following her older sister over to the U.S. chasing those American military veteran husbands. I can't tell you how many times I've heard about how fresh and delicious the fish & chips are along the coast in England and how they used to serve it on newspaper (now I've been told it's on wax paper that looks like newsprint). Every time my wife and MIL order fish & chips here in the U.S., I hear that story and the comparison is on! If my wife and MIL like it, then it has to be good!

Got lost in my book and almost forgot to post this. Lunch was at Izumi today. Something interesting to note, portion sizes are very inconsistent here on Freedom. Night 2 our rolls were half the size of today’s. The people sitting next to us today got rolls that were 2/3 the size of what we got. Ramen bowl looked like it was half eaten. It’s usually filled almost to the top. This Izumi is strange….

Under VIP passes in the cruise planner.

Lindsay had an hour solo last year and it was a lot/too much. He took frequent breaks but his legs were spent. And he has a few years on J. lol

I am not a foodie. And I am glad I am not. I can eat and appreciate most everything. With that said, I will say I really did not like the wings at Perfect Day. Nor have I been pleased with the hot dogs at the Dog House. Although I tolerate Sorentos Pizza at midnight, these toaster pizzas are really pathetic. These are tavern appetizers. They can be better at some times than others. And the service, or lack of it can make a mediocre dish seem even worse.

Where do I find the genie on Freedom?

yes the tuna sandwiches are for me!!! so the egg on pizza is a thing around here too. i am not one who is for it — i tend to be a pizza purist — but where there is truffle, i can be persuaded. at least to try it!! (also wait are we talking about tuna on pizza? if so…. NO.) BETRAYAL BETRAYAL A G A I N!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS HORRIFIED!!!!!!!!!

this is hack i use every time tbh

Hahaha!!!!! Bingo! lol. As long as I make it in time for my MJ brunch, I will be happy!

She’s in a suite or probably Star Class anyways so it doesn’t really matter about the check in time

Great dining sales again

Any recommendations?

Any recommendations?

Yes, but you must use a credit card (not sea pass). It's listed somewhere in one of the documents but don't remember which one.

I thought the movie was good for its time; however, totally agree with Harmony otS potential cancelation of that show...it's not good & really relying on the namesake of the show. Yet still...if Grease goes, Cats on Oasis otS should go.

Should have woken up the freeloaders.

Yup…she is not going to be happy with us lol That would be a great idea! Some of them are so good.

Oh yeah, I don’t have all those options that you do.
