It was more of a soft Asiago bread and went great with the steak and egg.

The food is great but the ship overall is even more impressive. The Icon makes the Oasis class seem boring (as crazy as that sounds). There’s so much to see and do!

This is my new “go to” spot for a quick breakfast! I normally go to park cafe but decided this morning to try something different. The steak & eggs sandwich and classic breakfast sandwich (sausage,egg,cheese,ham) are equally delicious! The service was very quick at 6:45am. There are 2 lines that eventually form, one to the left for speciality coffee (most likely drink packers speciality coffee option) and one to the right for food. The food line was short!

Fast spins are your friend. It makes the mind numbing task of pressing a button much more exciting.

I started out great but my luck has soured after this win. Hopefully Chris Wong will send some wine to our room!

1. Dania Pointe 2. Yes, it’s a port and restricted area. Enter port Everglades cruise terminal in GPS and it will take you to one of two equally convenient port entry’s. 3. You are overthinking this. It’s very simple (even easier than port Canaveral IMHO). There are two entry points. One to the West off of US1 and one off 17th street. 4. Follow the loop, drop luggage and park. 5. Abide by your designated check in time (or don’t). 6. I don’t recall the exact cost but it’s reasonable and certainly the best option since you are parked so close to the terminal. Pay on way out from my recollection. 7. #springbreak2025 left overs spill into April. Everything is sold out here in March/April and/or overpriced. Good luck.

First one of the night

Something big about to happen with hard rock (possible collaboration). I was hanging with the family in base camp and they did an executive visit with the Hard Rock big shots and the RC top brass (Liberty, Holtz, Bayley, Freed and Hernandez) all standing within a few feet of us.

FYI: onboard by 10:20 with no special access credentials (key, suite exc) and a late boarding time. Red stripe # 1 at 11am. Very efficient boarding in Miami!

Already too many very cheap all inclusive options. I see this a failure to address a real need. The club in Nassau makes perfect sense.

Interesting choice because Cozumel is about the only stop in the Caribbean that does NOT have a need for a beach club. The current offerings could not possibly be better IMHO.

Yep, I will try calling back to see if anything opened up.

I’ve received several of these JS offers but my luck is clearly not that great as I’ve only successfully booked one. Every one of the JS offers has been booked by the time I make the phone call resulting in a balcony downgrade. The agent mentioned they would upgrade if JS comes available. Has anyone ever been upgraded as part of a casino promotion due to category being booked?

I don’t trust the table games at all as a method for accumulating points. There are far too many variables including the human element which has the potential to work against you.

100% agree. Clearly it’s more of an exposure inside the cabin than around the ship. My kids have a blast on their own around the ship and we wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve heard lots of horror stories none of which involve the abduction of young children while onboard the ship (that I can recall). Low risk.

So this happened. I am totally ok with this change.

They don’t start until 8. This is a night time venue (and a good one).

I would be one of those parents. When we go on Icon next Saturday (spring break) there will be kids running around everywhere. I teach my kids to be observant and we are in constant text communication so there is low risk of any issue.

Freedom is still a large ship. I wouldn’t hesitate to sail on her for 7 days. Great time with an excellent staff.

I recall the casino being open all day in Aruba and closed until PM in Curaçao.

Which types (mailers, onboard offers) are normally the “best”? To this day, I still can’t navigate this program because it’s all over the place.

I’m hoping to add a couple JP’s to this post next Saturday from Icon.

This is totally true! I want more offers!!

Yes, I am signature and get $750-$1000 free play offers (next one Liberty in July) but talking specifically onboard perks. I’ve noticed either the program has changed or the company has tightened up because I’m not getting decent perks onboard lately.

Maybe it is the ship & specifically based on the casino host? I’ve also received random comps for speciality dining and bottles of wine delivered to MDR.
