I've been looking every day for the kids sail free, and since January ive only seen it twice ( including the one that just ended). We have 3 kids, so it was definitely one to jump on for us!

I saw the mystery dining thing, but im not sure its something my husband would like lol

We will be sailing on freedom on January 7th. What entertainment / activities will I be able to book before getting on the ship? I'm so used to planning for Disney world trips ( where you have to pre plan every little detail) that I'm looking for things to book! lol

so far I have booked the dreamworks breakfast.... but will anything else be available to book? like shows and stuff? if so when?

thanks! we aren't SUPER adventurous eaters, but we would love to try something local. any suggestions?

We had this debate since we have 3 kids ( ages 9 , 4 and 2) We were going to go for the 2 separate room for the space and extra bathroom, but we ended up finding a family room available ( sleeps 6 with 2 bathrooms.) so we went with that instead since my kids are young and itll be easier to keep an eye on all of them lol

has anyone tried calling and picking a specific restaurant after booking the dining package?

We will be there from 1pm to 9pm. Do people usually go back to the ship for dinner? or find a spot on land to eat? I'm kind of confused with this one..

thank you!! after reading your post I called and saved 410$!

thank you so much! you're always so helpful !!

it does! I just called to check if the new promotion would save us a bit of money, but so far none have been better than the kids sail free we got since we have 3 kids in our  room... Well!! to my surprise I saved an extra 415$ (Canadian) on our cruise! bringing our total down to 3700$ (2800$ US) for a 9 day cruise in a family panoramic room for 5 people!!

Beyond happy right now!

thanks Matt! so I just randomly call him? how much notice does he need? Do you know roughly how much he charges?

Also, do you have any recommendations on what we should do, we've never been to st-marteen!

thank you Matt! do you have an email I can reach him at? or is it just by phone?

so i just priced out the new deluxe package vs the ultimate package that we bought and the deluxe would be 50$ less. Can i call and get it adjusted? or do i need to cancel the ultimate and buy the deluxe?

We will be sailing in January on freedom of the seas in a family panoramic room. I was SO excited about the room when booked it.. but now im even more excited about.. drinking. I know it sounds terrible, but Im SO looking forward to just having drinks!! we got the ultimate package, and you can bet I will use it to its full potential! We have 3 young kids and I work in a cardiac unit in a hospital, so if its not the loudness of my kids around me, its the constant beeping of heart monitors. Today, on my lunch break, I was actually planning which drink I would have throughout my days on the cruise LOL I think this mommy needs a break!

what is everyone else looking forward to?

I don't see it on mine :(  I would love to use it

thank you! 

I`ve been reading more and more that they offer specials on dining once on the ship. So is it better to book dining on the ship? or will we get a bigger discount by pre booking one of the dining packages?

so happy to read this! we will be in a family panoramic this january on freedom!

what a great idea! i never thought of going there! well be on freedom in january and i think thats what we'll do!

why cant she go now?

thank you! so much great info!

We will be stoping in Labadee, San Juan, Philipsburg and Basseterre. I`m looking for suggestions/info on the best excursions are to do there. Im not super adventurous, so looking more for beaches and that type of stuff. Do any of those ports have nice beaches close by that wouldnt require me to buy an actual excursion?

The only thing i want to do is go to the Maho beach in Philipsburg ( i just want to see the plane thing ) .. so im assuming just taking a taxi would be the best option here?

Also, does anyone know of any good private tours that might be available? Ive read about Leo Brown ( i would love to know more about him, he sounds great!)

thank you for all the info! i went ahead and booked it for day 7 of our 9 day cruise. My 2 and 4 year old were free, but my 9 year old was 13$ like the adults. Hopefully it`ll be worth it!

Do you have a way to contact Leo? i would love to do something like this in St Marteen!

i thought all kids were free? also, in which restaurant is it held?

Also, how many people would you say can attend?
