As our September 13th voyage on Freedom approaches we're all feeling a bit more excited and so is our son Karl and his Army buddy Shane who are being granted leave to come on the cruise with us! Well, they booked the lowest price Catagory Q "guarantee" cabin and we all crossed our fingers.
Today we found out that they've been upgraded to a Promenade Atrium room!!!!! Wooooooooo Hooooooo for them!!!!
That's our happy story

if they wear their uniforms on formal nights, they will receive lots of compliments and lots of free drinks
If I was aboard I would buy them a drink.

Hey, how cares about the picture. They, Mike and Suz, give sound advice to everyone but more importantly, their son is joining them on a cruise, is being upgraded and I/we Americans are VERY proud of him and his army buddy Shane.
I only wish I could be there to shake their hands to say thank you and toast a glass of champagne to them.
Bravo!
Mike & Suz - I'm beaming from ear-to-ear for you and your son & his friend! One of my sons is on a carrier in the Persian Gulf right now so, with each deployment, I tease him that he's getting to cruise again. Two of my sons were in the Navy, one is now out because of an injury (non-combat, thankfully). I am extremely proud of all the young men and women who serve our country. Ah......just thinking of your guys in their dress uniforms at dinner......I've been out with my boys when they were in uniform and it is SO incredibly heartwarming to see the many people, all ages, who approach the guys, shake their hands, etc. I agree with some of the others who say that these soldiers deserve the owners suite! (I'm sure you are aware that many times there are military discounts.) Heck, it might be worth a call to the cruise line or your TA to let them know your guys are active military, on leave, and see if they might be upgraded even further. If there's an available cabin, the guys just might get it. It would be wonderful for them to receive the Royal treatment! Please tell your guys, Thanks, from a Navy Mom. God bless them all!

where are they stationed ? if in one of the two "hot" spots they are going to get alot of attention onboard, so the cruise line just might upgrade all 4 of you to a grand suite
Oh Venice, that is a GREAT point! Mike / Suz - I say, "Go for it!" Have a wonderful time!!
Hey Mike, are you & Suz from the Tampa Bay area originally? My husband & I grew up in Clearwater & went to Clearwater High School. Moved away about 20 years ago but still have lots of family in Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Ocala & Crystal River.
