Theredofshaw Posted January 21, 2016 #26 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Google "Royal Caribbean blog liberty dry dock" and you will get an excellent deck by deck list of change as of Jan 12th. CC will not allow me to post link. that's rather frustrating. they use it all the time in their email newsletters but I've had a few posts removed and "infractions" because I used the link.

Paul65 Posted January 21, 2016 #27 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Google "Royal Caribbean blog liberty dry dock" and you will get an excellent deck by deck list of change as of Jan 12th. CC will not allow me to post link. Looks like quite a few new cabins added. I hope it's not enough to make the ship feel noticeably more crowded. Percentage-wise, it's not that many cabins, so hopefully not much different. Edited January 21, 2016 by Paul65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfganghowell Posted January 21, 2016 #28 Share Posted January 21, 2016 We didn't notice any difference when Navigator added cabins. Looking forward to Sabor and the Suite Lounge. Really hoping they do a furniture upgrade - we had great wicker balcony furniture on our Oasis cruise. They switched it out a few days in - which was funny to us since there didn't seem any wear and tear on the ones that had been out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricketts Posted January 21, 2016 #29 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Are they really going to make the H2O zone kids only? That seems dumb :mad: My biggest complaint about DCL is they won't let me play on the water jungle gym at Castaway Cay and now RCL is going to keep me out of the H2O zone :'( I'm concerned about safety for the kids if parents are not allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricketts Posted January 21, 2016 #30 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Cindy, I'll be there on April 24th, you can bet I'll be posting lots of pics/video! I'm anxious to see all the pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricketts Posted January 21, 2016 #31 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I will be watching people try out the slides in October and November. I can add it to my list of spectator sports!:D Cindy, I wish you were on our week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUZorba Posted January 21, 2016 #32 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm concerned about safety for the kids if parents are not allowed Yeah, although I just about broke my back in the H2O zone on Freedom in October. That wood gets slick, I was even holding on to the hand rail getting into the pool, and my foot slipped right off the step. I got a huge bruise on my back for the rest of the week. So maybe it isn't parent safe. Regardless, I am just a huge kid at heart, so I love playing in the H2O and really looked forward to using it with my DD when she gets old enough (I try to get my DW to play with me, but she'll just look at me like I am insane).

Wilson Posted January 21, 2016 #33 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Cindy, I'll be there on April 24th... Noticed last night there is a Texas resident rate for that sailing. We are currently going out May 8th but can get a slightly better deal on the April 24th sailing and an additional $200 in obc. Unfortunately we redeemed $500 in Royal Caribbean Visa credit card points that they are not willing to transfer if we change dates. I don't want a refund I just want the credit applied to the new reservation. I have asked them to make an exception and was told they will make a decision in about 48 hours.

Goodtime Cruizin Posted January 21, 2016 #35 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Feb 14th for us. The 2nd sail date. We're really excited about the changes and happy that they added Sabor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaredcg Posted January 22, 2016 #37 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Will Liberty have VOOM internet after dry dock? I can't seem to find confirmation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted January 22, 2016 #38 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I've read a publication posted on CC that stated VOOM was to be added but we've decided to wait to board the ship to confirm this before we purchase wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsMom2 Posted January 26, 2016 #39 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Only thing I know about the Freestyle machines is that ships sailing out of the US only will have them- guess the cartridges aren't available overseas. So, if Liberty will be staying in the US then I think we will see them. I am hopeful that they will be there for our spring break cruise. Whoever told you this was wrong. There were Freestyle machines on Anthem last summer in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOA and Royal agreed to transfer our $500 credit to our new reservation. Decided to advantage of a "W" rate which netted us a $700 onboard ship credit too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percentage-wise, it's not that many cabins, so hopefully not much different. Freedom seemed way too crowded 2 weeks ago. We attributed it to all of the new rooms.....hence lots more people. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad :( After all the promotions, they need to get it open - people are expecting it as advertised!! How were the lines for the slides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjetter Posted April 2, 2016 #44 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I tried the slides at 9 am when in port one day which is opening time and there were just a few people in line. No wait really but at peak times I think it wasn't really bad and that was spring break. Staff was continuing to try out the boomerang and apparently getting injured on the downside when they would hit the wall. Really think that should have already been worked out in the design phase. I was really disappointed. Hope they will have that figured out by Nov. Supposedly they had some padding made for the wall ?? We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We attributed it to all of the new rooms.....hence lots more people.:eek: Cruise was sold out for spring break and didn't seem over crowded although our waiter said they didn't add dining room space so that had been an issue in the main dining room. We ate early MTD and there were lots of empty tables so we didn't see any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted April 4, 2016 #47 Share Posted April 4, 2016 RCL customer service told one of our roll call members this afternoon that they hope to have the new padding installed by April 17th cruise....still crossing our fingers though!!

Paul65 Posted April 4, 2016 #48 Share Posted April 4, 2016 RCL customer service told one of our roll call members this afternoon that they hope to have the new padding installed by April 17th cruise....still crossing our fingers though!! The activities director (not sure if that's the right title or not) spoke at the M&M this past week, and from what he said, it's not just a matter of adding padding. The company that designed the slide will be reworking it to reduce the angle of the initial drop and the height of the bump on the final part of the slide to make it a bit less "scary." He was estimating another 4 or 5 weeks before it would be redesigned and ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul65 Posted April 4, 2016 #49 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Was MTD on deck 3 or 5? I think I read that it had moved to deck 3. We had traditional dining on Deck 5, so it was not MTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 4, 2016 #50 Share Posted April 4, 2016 ...He was estimating another 4 or 5 weeks before it would be redesigned and ready to go. Not surprised we are hearing different stories. I am actually the person that Becci mentioned that spoke with Royal today. Was really hoping it was reliable information. Seems as though the only thing consistent with Royal is being inconsistent. LoL We will still have a great cruise, but was hoping to enjoy Tidal Wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
