Dave56 on a Boogie Board

How come our countdown clocks appear and disappear- as if by magic?

I repelled off cliffs. I am retired from the Air Force and would never jump from or repel from a perfectly good aircraft. We in the AF leave that to the Army and Marines.

I still ride bikes, but now it is a Yamaha 400 Big Bear Four Wheeler. If I need kicks I drive my 78 Vette or my Wife's new Mercedes E55 AMG (463 Horse Power) eat your heart out Tim the Tool Man!!!

I like the Idea of you strapping a camera to your head while riding the wave. Look You've got the hook up for a surfboard by Tom Ogg. Go for it.

I plan to let my boys surf, they are 15, 14, 12 and 9 years old. They are a little more flexible than I.

Ride-on, or in this case Surf-on

See ya on a cruise some day.

Tom,

We are on the inaugural cruise of the Freedom. It looks to be maxed out with 4100 or so pax, if the bookings can be believed. The prices sure are unbelievable!

The lines may be long at the surfing attraction.

[mercedesno]

are you ducking the challenge?

[Dave]

I'll observe the surfing deal. If I feel comfortable I'll do it. Umm, can we end this thread now?

[NancyN]

Now Dave, why would you want to do that and spoil our fun ?

Make sure you take lots of photos - I am sure the maiden voyage will be covered heavily by the press.

Nancy,

I have to admit that part of my motivation to book this cruise is that I will be a member of the press. Well, I guess being a staffer for cruisereviews.com and doing a review of this cruise makes me a member of the press!

No problem with the photos. We have three digital cameras and each is maxed out on the memory cards. I think we can take around 2000 high resolution photos before we run out of space!

[Carlalena1]

Dave, I wonder what a cruise with 4000 pax is like? How many pools? I guess what I am asking is: how can it be any fun at ALL? I would think that 2000 would be the most I would care for. Please advise as to the pros.

Mercedesno, I just cruised with four sons almost the exact same ages in August. Best time I ever had.

Did you guys both come over from some other cruise board?

[mercedesno]

carla,

I pray we enjoy our cruise with the boys as much as you did. We have two boys that are destined for the WWF or Boxing careers. On each other.

We have been loyal RCCL cruisers from the start. Looking at other cruises for a change.

Thx...

Well then the whole world can see them use their signature wrestling move that for some odd reason looks like one person dragging another off of a top bunk by a lanyard.

Here is my review:
