Order two appetizers and two desserts in the MDR each evening....

I searched by ship and got this...I should have looked for trans-Pacific instead of repositioning.
 
April 22 -- Explorer does a 22 night trans-Pacific to Seattle with the price starting at $1,634.00
April 17 -- Radiance does a 16 night trans-Pacific to Honolulu with the price starting at $1,839.50 followed by a 10 night Hawaii cruise going on to Vancouver for another $1,477 for an inside stateroom.
 
Who wouldn't like 26 nights on the Radiance? It looks more like Explorer would be more realistic since it has two stops in Hawaii. I assume these are the only two RC ships that re-position from Australia to North America for Alaska cruises.

This is the beer I was referring to:
 

 
and this is Virgin's Haven as seen from the ship.  You can stay here until about 2 minutes before ship sails away.  Not that I did that or anything....

Enchantment is a great ship..heading back on her for a 5th time in January.
 
But she is an older class and style so I don't think you'll see those big shows ever come to her.
 
As for more restaurants, I don't know. Even Majesty has a Johnny Rockets but not on EoS so I am not sure.
 
That being said...there is something about these ships being kept the way they were through their history that I enjoy.
 
I like having the choice of doing newer/modern/shows/big or doing the old school way.....lol

I don't think you would go wrong with either. I've been to many of those places, but not concurrently on a cruise. Those itineraries are mouth watering on either ship. I love the train to Paris idea, but beware that the cost to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower may well be more than the train ticket. I paid a fortune getting my family to the top a couple years ago.

I was begging for mercy after eating so many appetizers and sides...i had to take my desert back to the room and eat it for breakfast the next day! Jane

Absolutely.  This is a hidden gem

Thanks to all of you for your information. I now have a Freedom cruise booked. It sound like a wonderful ship.

We returned home from our cruise afterglow at Universal and Cabana Bay Beach Resort this morning.Universal was great fun, but didn't compare to our week on Freedom of the Seas. Below is a link to my last post regarding our cruise. Thanks for reading, and a big thanks to Matt for providing this forum.

Enjoying reading along!!

Great posts, thanks for sharing!

Last Thursday at MCO, I had one if them completely lock up because he was ordering me to put my phone thru the x-ray but also to have my boardng pass in hand. Boarding pass is in the phone there Slick, make your choice!
 
The deer in the headlights look was priceless...

I may have forgot...O&T had zero as well 2 weeks ago.

I got off Freedom about three hours ago, and I can report the only sms I found were Glenfiddich, Glenlivet and then a bunch of blends. None of the brands you listed were available, although I bought a bottle of Caol Ila in your honor in St. Thomas.
 
I checked R Bar, Boleros, the Pub, the Sky Bar, the Schooner Bar, and the Pool Bar. It was pretty much the same story everywhere. I never went up to Olive or Twist.

Order honey stung chicken from room service
 
...and......GO!

HEY! This was my idea!!! I'm glad someone actually executed it! :D
 
Get 2 adjoining rooms instead of one big suite with kids!
