Freedom of the Seas - Palma de Mallorca

There are not as many tours in Palma de Mallorca as there were in some of the other ports. Here were some of the options available. Mallorca Beach Transfer, Kayaking Mallorca's West Coast, Segway in Palma, Best of wine Tasting and Palma Aquarium Family Discovery. We had signed up for the Aquarium visit but it was cancelled due to lack of interest. With my mother not feeling well still with her knee and back we made the decision to stay on board the ship and do more exploring, with the added benefit of a lot lee people on board.
We started out our morning in one of the 2 hot tubs that are canter-levered over the side of the ship. We were the only two in the tub and the view was amazing. The soak in the hot tub actually made my mother feel better.

We decided to go up and check the sports deck. We saw Basketball, mini golf, the Flo Rider and more. There were people playing mini golf but the Flo Rider was closed at the time, so I did not get to see it in action.

I decided to check out the arcade and my mom decided to sit out on the deck. I enjoy playing some of the games and could be there for quite a while. Thankfully I gave myself a limit and when it was spent I was done. Key cards make it easy not to be accountable for what you are spending. But you can keep track of it on the television in your room.

We decided to have lunch at Johnny Rockets. An awesome diner. Unlimited fries and onion rings. We had hamburgers and milk shakes. There are mini jukeboxes at the tables and at the hour the waiters perform a show. This restaurant also has a nominal fee. It was another experience. The only problem with this restaurant was the location. It is hidden at the back of the ship we almost missed it.

In the afternoon we went to Schooners Bar where they had different games, coloring and social connections going on. This had been going on all week but this was the first opportunity we had ti participate. Not many people were here because so any were ashore. In the late afternoon early evening 90% o the ship went to shore to attend a a free Gypsy King Concert because of the President's cruise. Again we skipped because we felt it would be too crowded for my mother and that seating is any would not be comfortable. We stopped at the Italian restaurant for a slice of pizza in the afternoon.

After supper my mother headed to the casino. Mary and another agent kept her company while I sat in Schooners bar away from the smoke and read. The casino is the only place on the ship for smoking so all of them end up there. I am not a big gambler so skipping the casino is a good thing or I probably would have lost a lot.
