Thorben-Hendrik Posted July 20, 2017 #51 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I hope they update the cabins with the new Navy & Stone colour scheme. The orange & turquoise is looking really old, dated and tatty. I seriously doubt they will touch the colour scheme - they never did it with any other ship in drydock!

Wjm989 Posted July 20, 2017 #52 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Do we know where the drydock will take place? We just came off the Northern Europe one and wondered if her one-time only call at Hamburg was a test run for a potential dry dock there...

Thorben-Hendrik Posted July 20, 2017 #53 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I have no idea where they will put her - but Hamburg would sure be nice......they know how to weld!;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the dry dock is scheduled for April, it could be before or after her TA from the US to Europe. Typically Freeport in the Caribbean and Cadiz in Europe.

Wjm989 Posted July 20, 2017 #55 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Also, if anyone here has been on Freedom or Liberty since their drydocks, where has become the nightclub since 'Labyrinth' has been lost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hold the nightclub function up in VIking Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkitchentalk Posted July 20, 2017 #57 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I know they need to get rid of those tiny little chairs in the Buffet the one place fat people should be happy. I hate chairs with arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted July 20, 2017 #59 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Viking Crown? Not what I expected. Does it work OK? Several RC ships have used these lounges for entertainment, nightclub etc. Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggy1983 Posted July 20, 2017 #60 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I seriously doubt they will touch the colour scheme - they never did it with any other ship in drydock! They definitely did with Explorer staterooms a couple of years back (not the wooden fixtures but the carpets, bedding, curtains, chairs etc.) - looked much nicer afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markanddonna Posted July 20, 2017 #61 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Any news on the transatlantic leg? They post it as sold out, but it appears that the dates will be modified and reopened at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, during Freedom and Liberty's recent dry docks, their cabins were not refreshed in this same manner. So I wouldn't get my hopes up about Independence's cabins.

catwoman71 Posted July 20, 2017 #64 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi does any one have any idea where they would put the new trampoline park? Please don't say they would remove the mini golf :( Dated cabins I can live with mini golf I can't lol, also does any one know if they will be getting new production shows next year, I am getting fed up of the same ones and the ice shows too, as good as they are.

scorpluvsdolphins Posted July 20, 2017 #65 Share Posted July 20, 2017 When is Mariner scheduled for dry dock? Are they having a SL instead of a CL? I purposely booked deck 9 next summer to be near the CL. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will either rip her apart or finish her up on the TA! Hostile responses are never appropriate. I don't believe anyone with any authority declared there would be NO TA for passengers. I was on a TA where lots of prep was done for an upcoming TA including all new carpeting. The fumes and blocked hallways were a bother, but still the TA proceeded. Where does RCL state the TA is canceled? It still shows "sold out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No news pertaining to where the new additions will be located. I'd be surprised if they completely remove mini golf. Maybe relocate it. Also, Independence just received the Broadway show Grease within the last year. I doubt the other shows will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply, I will just have to hope they do not remove the mini golf, there are far more people who can use it than the proposed trampoline park. I was on the Indy last year and saw grease but they sill had the same production and ice shows as when I previously sailed in 2010, I know they are expensive to change but surely after 7 years they are due to be refreshed!

davidfrankland Posted August 4, 2017 #71 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi there, Really excited about this news as booked on a June departure next year then the announcement came out the next day Indy going into dry dock. Quick question, what are the chances of Indy getting the Splashaway Bay like Liberty did during her refurb ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question, what are the chances of Indy getting the Splashaway Bay like Liberty did during her refurb ?. Welcome to Cruise Critic. I've not seen any details of any changes during Indy's dry dock, however it would not surprise me to see them add slides and other features they have already added to Liberty.

davidfrankland Posted August 4, 2017 #73 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi there, and thanks for taking the time to reply and the welcome :) Can see that they are adding waterslides, escape room, trampoline park & laser tag. So hoping they will add Splashaway, as my son caught a video of it last night and was just wow. Know they have H2O zone, but splashaway bay looks immense. Not sure what else is planned in the dry dock though as full details not published yet and they may keep some surprises under wraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
