Forget Your Tux?

Good morning,

On board Freedom of the Seas there are two formal evenings during the weeks.  Guys, if you forget your tux, you can rent one on board. 

No excuses for wearing shorts and flip flops on formal night!

Shopping on the Royal Promenade

Good morning,

After you've had enough ice cream and cupcakes (see yesterday's post) there is plenty of shopping to do.

Just pull your car up in front of Vintages, have a glass of wine, then...

...do a little jewelry shopping.

Every day the shops have different specials.

Tired?  Thirsty?  Stop off at the Bull and Bear for a brew...

...then get back to shopping. 

All of this is on board a cruise ship, Freedom of the Seas.  Looks like a fancy shopping mall, doesn't it!

Enjoy,
Lois

Ice Cream and Cup Cakes

Good morning,

I'm still strolling down the Royal Promenade aboard Freedom of the Seas with camera in hand.  I think it is pretty cool that the ice cream parlor is next door to the...

...cupcake store. 

The next store carries clothing.  I think I will just spend a little time at the ice cream and cupcake shops. 

Enjoy,
Lois

Cafe Promenade

Good morning,

You can find a cup of coffee and a snack at the Cafe Promenade 24 hours a day aboard Freedom of the Seas.

There is a self serve coffee bar for coffee at no charge or you can purchase a fancy coffee.

Ah, yes, coffee, just give me a giant one every hour or two, please.

Britto on Board

Good morning,

One of the specialty shops on board Freedom of the Seas is Britto.  Britto is an artist with a very definite "look!"

What I like about his work is that his art is all "happy."  When you see it, you know it is Britto!

Enjoy,

Pirates of the Caribbean?

Good morning,

Yep, that's a pirate ship out there, but not one that should be feared.

This one is a tour boat in the port of Grand Cayman.

I remember when the ride would include circling the big cruise ships and shooting off some canon blanks.  The whole concept wasn't well received, so they haven't been doing that recently. 

It does look like a fun tour, though!

Enjoy,

Ship Canyon - Freedom of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas in Labadee, Haiti

Good morning,

I took today's images while standing on deck 4 of Freedom of the Seas.  Grandeur of the Seas was tied up across the dock from us in Labadee, Haiti.

When two huge ships are tied up along side each other, a huge canyon is created.

New exercise equipment was being delivered to Freedom

It is nearing time to leave this port so crew who were working on the island during the day are returning to the ship.  Everyone is given hand sanitizer, both crew and guests.

 Grandeur was also preparing to leave port.

 There are sand buggy wheel chairs available on the island.

 It was a fun day in the sun at the beach.  :)

Enjoy,
Lois
