Independence April 2018 Drydock

[Sazz88]

I've just seen a video on Facebook from RC for the changes to Indy in 2018. Some great changes noted but I bet there are more to be released. It's certainly sealed my choice of cruise for next year :-D

Any chance you can link or email me the video

wow, that looks pretty exciting. No mention of adding more cabins, at least for now.

It says that Indy is getting slides, excape room, laser tag, and a top deck trampoline park.

We're hoping to book Indy for July 18 (just waiting for the right price!) and I'm super thrilled about this!

My 9 year old loves trampoline parks and water slides.

Though I'm thinking this is going to make my July itinerary even more full of kids than I was already expecting!

Spoke to TA again,room numbers staying the same but the inside balconies are definitely planned.

It was confirmed today that during her refurbishment next year, she will be getting water slides, laser tag, an escape room, and a trampoline park! I think I may need to book a cruise on her now!

There is a 10000% chance that they'll add more cabins. No doubt.

Odd that Royal would not put that in their promo video.

Do you mean the virtual balconies?

I was planning on booking promenade rooms but I might be tempted by virtual balconies.

They did say on my email today that there are other developments as well which have not been announced.

Not announced yet,it might be virtual promenade balconies but my TA said proper balconies so either way it should be good.

Is there a spare wall big enough for the display in a PR cabin and even if there was, would it make sense?

[Ololsen]

Lets hope for a Splashaway bay as on Liberty also :)

Looks awesome does anyone know will they be keeping the baby splash zone for babies / toddler in swim nappies

 

Also will they be doing touch up to carpets and painting etc ?

Don't know for sure, but that has not been removed in the recent dry docks for the other Freedom class ships.

would be nice if they put in a Park Cafe

That would be very surprising. They have had many chances to do that on other Voyager/Freedom class ships and have not.

 

It was actually planned for Voyager several years ago, but I was told it was abandoned because of the cost of putting a kitchen up in the Solarium.

[Biker19]

That would be very surprising.

Well, like they did with VOOM, they could just rename Cafe Promanade.:cool:

Sounds interesting as we are looking at a cruise on her back to the USA in Oct. 2018 after we do an Ireland tour.

That would make it our 3rd cruise!!!

Posted on Cruise Critic News. Looks like shes getting all the upgrades other ship in class got.

I hope they update the cabins with the new Navy & Stone colour scheme. The orange & turquoise is looking really old, dated and tatty.
