anonimi: You are sooooooo welcome. Let me start from the beginning. 1:30AM. Time to get some sleep. Especially after "shaking" it, as in "WOBBLE-BABY WOBBLE-BABY" time. Everyone was dressed in WHITE! Cruise tradition. WHITE NIGHT, the LAST FRIDAY NIGHT! I dance sotey, but I nor lose any weight! *chai! see BRESSSSSTZ like big-big COCONUTS, ready for "harvest"!* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE_64SdD27w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd6UI6wEIsU 1 Like

Will I use Carnival FREEDOM again? Answer? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Unless it is CARNIVAL MAGIC, a bigger, newer CARNIVAL fleet. . . . WITH BETTER INTERNET SERVICE!!!! Done my research! Booking my next SOLO CRUISE ON. . . . THE ROYAL CARIBBEAN. . . . . Oasis of the SEAS!!!! Read the reviews. OASIS OF THE SEAS by Royal Caribbean Cruises was described by someone as A DISNEY CRUISE ON STEROIDS! The person vowed never to go on it! Major complaint? IT WAS TOOOOOOOO BIG!!!! And you could NEVER tell you were on a SHIP!!!!! It takes over 6000 people at full capacity with SUPER FAST INTERNET SERVICE!!!!!! Yes! It will be a SOLO CRUISE!!!! Never book a cruise with PEOPLE YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN COMMON WITH!!!! Especially, FRIENDS and RELATIVES!!!! I have learned my lessons WELL!!!! Off to work!!!!!

Back to the basics! 1. No matter how fun a cruise can be, YOU WILL STILL MISS YOUR BED!!!!! 2. No matter how interesting the cruise is, YOU WILL STILL GET BORED!!! Bottom line? If you travel in a group, BE PREPARED TO PERSEVERE AND TOLERATE!!!! Especially, with people you HAVE NEVER LIVED WITH. 3. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SACRIFICE YOUR COMFORT TO SAVE MONEY!!!! It may not be fun staying apart, but if your SLEEP AND REST patterns are affected, your cruise is of no use. You are there to RELAX and REST, not TOTURE yourselves! For my personality type, I WILL ONLY DO SOLO CRUISES! Or if I travel in a group, I MUST HAVE MY OWN CABIN, PERIOD!!!!!!!! I don't want ANYONE in my personal SPACE!!!! Husband and LOVERS INCLUDED!!!!!! If they FART, you will HEAR AND SMELL it the ENTIRE CRUISE!!!! I have learned my LESSONS WELL!!!! 3 Likes 2 Shares

*Always PACK LIGHT*!!!!! I saw so many things I wanted to purchase, but I shopped for the cruise and filled 2 suitcases before the cruise. Big mistake!!! I ended up with an EXTRA BAG for all my souvenirs and exotic BOOOOOZE!!!! You have very little room around the cabin. Pack judiciously, unless you plan to do little or no shopping!

Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by KanwuliaJara: 2:44pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
*You will ALWAYS forget your most important items!* 1. MOSQUITO REPELLANT sprays and lotions! 2. WALKIE-TALKIES to communicate as a group! To keep up with each other, we used the phones on all floors to reach others in the room. Or, we checked into the room on the 7th floor. . . . . every 1-2 hours to make physical contact before splitting again. Or, left notes for each other at the Customers' Service Center on the 3rd Floor or called the room to see if anyone of us was in there. Verrrrry tedious. |
Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by KanwuliaJara: 2:47pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
*Communicating with loved ones at home!* The GREATEST challenge! As soon as you get on the ship, PUT YOUR PHONES AND TABLETS on airplane mode! I bought the USELESS internet package on board and used SKYPE or WHATSSSUP! NO PHONE CALLS, or your home-based phone company will EAT YOU ALIVE IN FEEES! Oh yes! You can always call from your cabin for a WHOPPING $2 per minute PLUS HIDDEN TAXES AND FEES!!!! Mba o! One week is not a long time to DISAPPEAR! I kept in touch with loved ones via SKYPE or WHATSSUP!!!! No FACEBOOK!!!! No INSTAGRAM!!!! Tufiaaaaaaakwa!!!!! |
Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by KanwuliaJara: 3:01pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
*ENTERTAINING yourself onboard!* Na you go TAYA ke! We did not do one-tenth of the ACTIVITIES lined up on the cruise o! Plus, WE PURCHASED 3 EXCURSION TOURS! Yikes!!!! The FOOD/24-Hour room service on selected items NA DIE!!!!! TOOOOOOO MANY GADDDDDEM THINGS TO DO!!!! Every evening at approximately 9PM, THE PROGRAMS for the next 24 hours have been shoved UP YOUR ASSSSSSSS!!!!! From 5AM TILL 5AM(24 hours), dem don READY for you!!!! MOSTLY FREEEEE!!!! You have to buy YOUR OWN COCA COLA!!! Only LEMONADE and TEA are free on the cruise! I don't drink!!!! Hallelujah!! The drinks I bought ARE GIFTS!!!!

*Checking-in and debarkment!* This cruise operators are sooooo organized! Every luggage accounted for! All purchases alcohol were held till the morning of departure!!!! Americans dey DRINK sha!!!!! See BOOOOOZE purchased offshore? Zero room for IDENTITY THEFT! You operate with a CRUISE CARD ONLY! Except when you go into town, then you use your credit/Debit cards at your own risk!

The INTERIOR and EXTERIOR! Welcome to my CARNIVAL FREEDOM SAIL AND SIGN ID CARD!!! YOUR CREDIT CARDS ARE LINKED TO THIS CARD BY YOU AND YOU ONLY!!! Do NOT LOSE IT!!!! Welcome to my CABIN 7258 on DECK LEVEL 7! Dining room: THE CHIC DINING ROOM on DECK LEVEL 3!!!! Folio number is like your CRUISE ID#! Na ONLY YOU GET THAT #! MUSTER STATION? " D "! On DECK LEVEL 5!!!! As soon as we got to our cabins, EVERYONE, no EXCEPTIONS HAD TO LEAVE THE CABIN TO YOUR DESIGNATED "MUSTER STATION" for a 30-minute SAFETY DRILL. Very important!!! No one was allowed to stay in the cabins. You CANNOT lock the cabin from the inside! The cabin stewards GOT INTO ALL CABINS AND CHASED EVERYONE OUT TO ATTEND THE SAFETY DRILL!!! In case of EMERGENCY, you grab only YOUR LIFE JACKET from your cabin and proceed to MUSTER STATION " D "! Every cruise member was assigned a MUSTER STATION to avoid THE STAMPEDE OF CONGESTION!!! Kudos!!!

cococandy:Hehehe. Ok.I will try and post some for you. Make I search my archives AJ, you did have lots and lots of fun. I have sworn that no matter how bad condition dey, i must escape on vacation atleast once a year abeg. It's one of the secrets to longevity and good health. |
Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by KanwuliaJara: 2:10pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
Phema: Those people dey come clean and change towels TWICE A DAY!!!! But I had to MAKE SURE THEY VACUUMED EVERY DAY!!! See DUST! We all had allergies. They were cleaning without vacuuming? With 3 poohsies in one CABIN? Mba oooooo! Being a CLEAN - FREAK, I made sure those aunts of mine kept their JUNK out of public view. Dem say me dey "rude"! I tell dem "tough"! I contributed over 2/3rds of the gaddem expenses. So I frankly told them to get their own gaddem cabins next time. One LOCAL one dey wash paheint hang for bathroom EVERY FREAKING DAY. Nonsense!!!! I MADE SURE EVERYONE HID THEIR GADDEM THRASH UNDER THEIR OWN BEDS!!!! My greatest joy! NO MENTRUATING BYTCHEZ ON THE CRUISE!!!! I for just DIEEEEEE!!!! Imagine 2 of dem say dem wan follow me go DUBAI for Christmas? I bluntly told them: HELL NOOOOOOOO!!!! Ova my DEAD POOOOHSIE! From now on, I am going COMMANDO-SOLO!!!! 1 Like

ifyalways: Lots of fun! It was sickening. I nor sleep well at atol-atol!!!! If those women were not DRINKING, they were in and out the cabin liked termites! I had to stay out of the damn cabin so they could sleep, since I love to sleep in the day time! NEVER AGAIN!!! It is either one of dem is ALWAYS COLD, or the other wants to sleep by 10PM and wake everyone up by 5AM with ALL HER NGWONGWORO, LIKE SHE WAN GO WORK!!!! See me roaming around the ship at night taking pictures! |
Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by Nobody: 5:18pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
Honestly, this kind of group thing will be more interesting when everyone has a cabin to herself. That way, no one invades another's privacy and you only get together when it is convenient for everyone. Lol@one saying she will join you to Dubai. |

Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by cococandy(f): 5:39pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
KanwuliaJara: I don't think going alone will be that much fun. Instead just go with one person next time. So you have a picture and gist partner. There's always something fun going. A comedy show or any of those performance shows. You don't want to be laughing by yourself. Lol. And really nobody sleeps well on a cruise ship. So don't feel short changed. We only saw our cabin when we were drunk and needed to rest our heads. |
Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by KanwuliaJara: 8:04pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
KanwuliaJara: I finally figured out how they make money! 3-4 people in ONE SQUISHY CABIN? It was better to get 3 separate cabins! The price difference was not much! The SAME PRICE!!!!

Re: All About CRUISING!!!! by KanwuliaJara: 8:13pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
cococandy: You are right! But I WAS THE ONLY FUN PERSON ON THE CRUISE! Na me supply the excursions on the 3 Islands! Na me supply all the gist to make them laff! Na me supply the PONNNO wey we watch! Na me buy the Internet service wey dem take dey text and skype. All they could gist me na how my MAMA beat them too much when dem small! MY MAMMA TAKE ALMOST 20 SENIOR DEM KE. Like I did not know? Shebi we grow up together? BORRRRRRRRING COWS!!!!! I told them to count their blessings and gave them a lil' dose of what my mom used MY OWN EYES TO SEE AS HER OWN DAUGHTER! Dem CRY WELL-WELL and shut up fiiiiiiiaaaaaaam!!!! All they wanted to do was DRINK AWAY THEIR MARITAL WOES and go to bed early to continue the BATTLE WITH CLINICAL DEPRESSION. Each time I left the room for long periods of time to avoid thier boorishness or negativity, they came looking like I been kidnapped! All the wanted to do was DRINK, DRINK AND DRIIIIIIINK! Which I DON'T do. See as their "OKORO" nyanshes spread for bar? Abeggggggggi!!!! Next time na SEPARATE CABINS!!!!!! I can entertain myself. Mtcheeeeeeeeeew!!!! |
