winddawn Posted May 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Someone posted that none of the kid's area was open yet, but that otherwise everything was fine. Patiently waiting.....I wish someone would post some post 2.0 photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patiently waiting.....I wish someone would post some post 2.0 photos! Lesson of the day, IMO, wait at least 4-6 weeks after the dry dock is finished to book that ship! I would be SO upset if I was on a cruise still under construction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixDawgCruising Posted May 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2014 That's why I booked for August, figure all the bugs will be worked out by then!! I never book a ship directly after anything new, it takes a while to figure it all out. I would love some pics though, I'm surprised nobody has posted any yet.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAHMto5 Posted May 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I am waiting as well as we are going in September on the Freedom, been a few years since the last time we were on her;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love some pics though, I'm surprised nobody has posted any yet.:eek: Not to be rude, but it was in the press release that the new kids area would not be open until the May 24 sailing. :) Although it does sound like some other kinks definitely were not worked out by first sailing (luggage issues). I'm also dying for pics, and the current cruise doesn't get back until Sunday! And we leave on Thursday to drive to FLL! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.C05 Posted May 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I am really looking forward to sailing on Freedom in October with our then-2.5yo son. He's going to love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauleydm Posted May 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 15, 2014 We went on the Dream right out of dry dock and everything was completed. I wonder if there was some major issues that caused the workers to be delayed in finishing the upgrades:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor_jimc Posted May 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 15, 2014 People, get over the wet luggage "issue" already. It's Florida, it rains everyday at 3PM all summer. The luggage is handled by the port workers until it gets on the ship. So if they left it out to get rained on, that is not Carnival's fault. It's the fault of the unionized dock worker's who didn't care enough to pull the luggage into the terminal building before it got soaked....

If Carnival contracts anyone to move luggage, Carnival is responsible for that luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwjax Posted May 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Regarding the Freedom 2.0+ upgrades, has anyone found an updated Deck Plan map anywhere?? :confused: Maybe one of the recent cruisers could scan their deck plan map, IF it was an upgraded version??:confused: Carnival did update the Freedom's descriptions and amenities on the Freedom web page, but not the deck plans.?? What's up with that??:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndi03 Posted May 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I would also like to know if the safes on the Freedom use a card or a code? We are taking my mother in law in June and I think she would do better with a code :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrayph47 Posted May 15, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The safes take cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchy05 Posted May 15, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 15, 2014 What about Tandoori - is it still here? or has it been removed because of all the 2.0 upgrades? Thanks in advance. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor_jimc Posted May 15, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If Carnival contracts anyone to move luggage, Carnival is responsible for that luggage. Sure I'll give you that, they should have offered to help those affected by wet luggage.. offered to wash/dry clean if needed. Some people noted their luggage was wet, did none of those people ask for such service? More to the point is the wet luggage has absolutely NO relationship to the Freedom's updates, so lumping it in as an issue along with the uncompleted dry dock work is wrong.

SMSACE6 Posted May 15, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 15, 2014 What about Tandoori - is it still here? or has it been removed because of all the 2.0 upgrades? Thanks in advance. T. Some one over on J Heald facebook page said Tandoor grille was gone. Boohoo, to that. I am not a fan of hamburgers, so not so excited about Guy's, though I may have to try one just see what they are like for myself. But I am looking forward to Blue Iguana. As far as what is said on facebook, I dont always place much credence in those statements, but so far it is the only comment that I have seen or heard about whether it is still there on not. I wouldnt be surprised if it was gone though, while it had some fans, there were a lot of people who didnt even know it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will have to see for my self in two weeks. I did not try Guy's while on the Breeze, but I did partake in Blue Iguana-which was excellent! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMSACE6 Posted May 15, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Crunchy05, would you please come back after your cruise, to let us know if it is actually there or not. I just rather hear from someone who has been on the ship since the upgrades and seen for themselves. Thanks, and I really am looking forward to the Blue Iguana.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
