counsdr Posted July 22, 2014 #126 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It's a different class of ship though, so would the new cabins go in the same area? Does anyone know where they will be taking Freedom to do all the work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom class is very similar to Voyager class, just stretched in the middle, so the new staterooms could go in the same area as they are on Navigator. I don't know for sure, but ships in the US usually go to Freeport, Bahamas for dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted July 22, 2014 #128 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I hope the fellow from England who gave us the brilliant day by day of the Navigator will be working the dry dock on Freedom so that perhaps he will kindly share with us!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted July 23, 2014 #130 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Where did cabins go on NV? What deck? Thanks The most obvious staterooms were put on deck 12, forward, on top of the fitness center. Some also went on deck 3 in the bottom deck of the old night club.

Probably will change in the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debit56 Posted July 23, 2014 #132 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Might be booking a cruise on Freedom of the Sea for Oct.11,2015 The 7 days price is very good. Opinions on the ship? Have only been on Enchantment of the sea?? Does anyone know do all the ships have all inclusive drink packages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it's slightly OT, but I suppose it could end up relating to FOS if she is similarly modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they use Viking Crown for the nightclub function now. Edited July 23, 2014 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will change in the next few months. Here is the link for the new deck plans. These are off RCI's site. Not sure why you are still getting the old ones. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/ship/decks/deck/home.do?deckCode=12&shipCode=NV&shipProfile=1625&sailDate=1150412&hasNavigation=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how previously RCI had a list with all the Drydock dates and what was being done for all the ships and now they don't.

Strange how previously RCI had a list with all the Drydock dates and what was being done for all the ships and now they don't. My guess is that they don't really know exactly what they are going to do yet. For example, they used to list "Park Cafe" as coming on some Voyager class ship(s), and that quietly disappeared from subsequent lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they use Viking Crown for the nightclub function now. Thanks, I thought that might be the case. It works fairly well on the Radiance Class, but the atmosphere was definitely more night-clubby in the dedicated venues on the bigger classes.

sml3 Posted July 23, 2014 #142 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I just did a mock booking for my February 2015 cruise to check on prices. Holy cow! $1200 more for 2 people than what I paid. Anyway, it considered the Freedom of the Seas a "new ship". States it's getting the Oasis class upgrades. What else besides the broadway show (Hairspray?) would be included in these upgrades?

Royal has not officially announced the list of changes to Freedom, beyond the show Hairspray. However, several people here have heard that the changes will be similar to what just happened with Navigator.

A6cruiser Posted September 14, 2014 #146 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Any updates? RCCL called me this week to see if I wanted to add a 2 day sailing after our New Years cruise.

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted September 15, 2014 #148 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I was booked on Freedom of the sea Jan 18, 2015 that got cancelled so rebooked for the sailing Jan 4, 2015. I am one who looks at the price daily to see if the price goes down and notice that it said N/A. The whole month of Jan 2015 has been cancelled. Called them and yes it has been cancelled. I feel your pain. We've had two cruises disrupted like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
