Thanks MaryLou, Just being on a ship again will be great. Last cruise was in Jan., way too long. We are going to do more last minute cruises next year. Anyone else know about the perks associated with the Grand Suites? Karen

Does anyone have suggestions for Ocho Rios? I have read that the vendors can be pushy so shopping can be unpleasant. Also, the one excursion that everyone suggest, Dunn's River Falls, is out of the question. I have a very bad back and don't think I could walk up it. So, should we just stay on the ship and enjoy the day with less crowds? Are can someone suggest something else?

Greetings, I am new to this site and have lots of questions so bear with me. We are sailing in 2 weeks on the Freedom. We splurged and got two Grand Suites. My questions are: What are the special perks I keep hearing about for the suites? How is the concierge lounge? Do we tip the concierge and if so, will there be an envelope included at the end of the cruise? We have done balcony rooms in the past but wanted to splurge on this one because it will be the last cruise with all 6 of us together. Hope the extra expense is worth it. Want to be pampered and made to feel a little special. One other question...our documents say not to arrive at the Miami port before 2pm. Since we have a suite, I read somewhere that we can board before the other guests, is this true. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Thanks....seems like I have alot to look at on this site. Will keep me busy! I am stuck in bed with a bad back today - thank goodness for laptops!
