SherriZ366 Posted January 10, 2015 #376 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Royal finally confirmed some changes on their website, most of what we already knew. Sabor, Giovanni's Table and Rbar as well as a few other things...http:// http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do?shipCode=FR Looks like they are remodeling Vintages too. Wonder if they will offer the ala carte menu like OA and AL do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted January 10, 2015 #377 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Wow, 500 Villagers! I live in The Villages and can't imagine a group that would sail together that is that big. I belong to The Parrotheads and although there are around 1500 members, the cruises rarely attract more than 150 or so. Just curious, do you remember the name of the group? Sometimes local Travel Agencies sponsor cruises like Rocky and the Rollers or someone like that, but they are not really an organized group. I can't imagine wasting my time cruising with a group just to an act I can see rather frequently for free right here at home. The prices for those cruises are not a bargain. Yes, 500 villagers plus over 500 other people in that group for Rocky and the rollers. Plus about 250 shag dancers, 125 quilters and other groups. What a nightmare!!!

Last year on vintages the wine dispensers were broken. What kind of changes do you think they'll make? Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted January 10, 2015 #381 Share Posted January 10, 2015 No Izumi? I still think Izumi is going up in Viking Crown, but we will know for sure soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacherloves2Cruise Posted January 10, 2015 #383 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Looks like they are remodeling Vintages too. Wonder if they will offer the ala carte menu like OA and AL do. Not sure about that. The website categorizes some things as "coming soon" and others as "new." I think (maybe someone else can confirm who has been on Freedom recently) that the items listed as "new" have already been in existence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all the items listed as new were done during her last revitalization. The coming soon are for this current dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted January 10, 2015 #385 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Royal finally confirmed some changes on their website, most of what we already knew. Sabor, Giovanni's Table and Rbar as well as a few other things...http:// http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do?shipCode=FR Interesting. When I go out to the cruise planner for our march FOS cruise, I can make reservations for Chop's, Chop's California Vineyards, Giovanni's Table, and Izumi, but Sabor doesn't show up anywhere.:confused: Edited January 10, 2015 by orville99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBuckeye Posted January 10, 2015 #386 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I had Fascination's webcam up but it looked like it was going to Nassau so I quit watching it. But from posters below, it looks like it really went to Freeport. Webcam shows that Fascination IS in Nassau. A total of one person sunning themselves by the pool. Weird. A RCI ship is spinning in the turning basin in front of her right now. Confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipfriend_max Posted January 10, 2015 #388 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think still the new deck plans are missing... :confused: She will get new staterooms - where? Will she get a similar cabin construction, as on Navigator and Voyager were installed? Will the Viking Crown Lounge be transferred to Suite-only-lounge??

Will she get a similar cabin construction, as on Navigator and Voyager were installed? Will the Viking Crown Lounge be transferred to Suite-only-lounge?? I believe the new staterooms will be similar to those on Navigator. I don't believe there will be changes to Viking Crown beyond Izumi replacing the game and card rooms.

Will she get a similar cabin construction, as on Navigator and Voyager were installed? Will the Viking Crown Lounge be transferred to Suite-only-lounge?? Yes, it appears the new deck plans have not been posted yet. I don't think there will be any changes to the actual VCL (like what happened on Oasis) because if they were planning changes, I believe that they would be promoting an enhanced suite experience with a lounge and restaurant.

Arrowdaz Posted January 10, 2015 #391 Share Posted January 10, 2015 This is a great thread. I have just read through all 20 pages... Exciting stuff. Me and my fiancée get married onboard Freedom on November 1st sailing, we are really looking forward to seeing all of the changes onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherriZ366 Posted January 10, 2015 #393 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Last year on vintages the wine dispensers were broken. What kind of changes do you think they'll make?Cheryl I think they may remodel to give it a more intimate feel and add tapas dining for a fee. I would guess if the wine dispensers are still broken, they will be fixed or replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the new staterooms will be on Deck 3 and on Deck 12 forward, which is what was done on NV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
