Bridge Tour

Good morning,

On some ships you can arrange for a Bridge Tour via the All Access Tour.  It's a paid tour that you buy when you come on board.

The tour generally includes the Bridge and some other areas of the ship that are behind the scenes.  The tour can vary depending on what is happening on each cruise.

It's fun to see how everything works!

So, here we go for another week at sea. 

Enjoy!

Ice Carving Demonstration - Freedom of the Seas

 Good morning,

I captured this series of images of an Ice Carving Demonstration on board Freedom of the Seas.

 You have to watch quickly because it is done in only a matter of minutes.

 The procedure is filmed and can be seen in real time on the big screen TV on the pool deck and later on a ship channel TV in your cabin.

 The children watching are all guessing what the finished sculpture will be.

 This time the finished product was a graceful dolphin.  Fun!

 All the best,
 Lois

101,000 Horses

Good morning,

There are 101,000 horses running around the Engine Room of Freedom of the Seas to push us down the sea road.

They provide a very comfortable ride, too. 
I could watch the sea foam for hours.  Beautiful!

All the best,
Lois

Dual Exhaust

Good morning,

I used to think the dual exhaust system on my Mustang GT was pretty cool, but it's nothing compared to the dual exhaust on board Freedom of the Seas.

 Enjoy,
Lois

Christmas Ice Carving

Good morning,

I am still going through all of the pictures from Christmas week.  It's amazing how many gorgeous decorations are everywhere aboard Freedom of the Seas. 

These ice and melon carvings were in the Windjammer restaurant.  The artwork is fantastic!

We're still enjoying it all out here!

All the best,
Lois

Biker Santa

Good morning,

Santa has a special parking spot on board Freedom of the Seas.

Now that Christmas is over he can relax and enjoy a cruise.

Christmas Village

 Good morning,

We are so enjoying the holidays aboard Freedom of the Seas.  The decorations grew every day during the days leading up to Christmas and New Years. 

 Today's series of images are from the Christmas Village display outside the Windjammer restaurant.

I've taken some overview images of this huge display and some close ups of the magnificent detail.

The display is the artwork of the ship's culinary team.

And, here are all of the Culinary Team members who contributed to this fabulous holiday display.

 The two weeks before Christmas this display grew as the team made and displayed it. 

Enjoy!
