Clarea Posted September 4, 2017 #80 Share Posted September 4, 2017 That's my concern.They have ruined the Freedom and the Liberty by adding that horrible block of cabins on the sun deck forward. Is Indy doomed as well? Most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribbeanboy Posted September 6, 2017 #84 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Where are Mariner and Indy getting their dry dock done? In Cadiz or Freeport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 6, 2017 #85 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Where are Mariner and Indy getting their dry dock done? In Cadiz or Freeport? No confirmation yet, but I'm guessing Cadiz for Mariner because they cancelled the TA from Barcelona to Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseman52b Posted September 11, 2017 #86 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Glad to hear about the upcoming renovations on Indy. We just booked a JS on her for a 5 day sailing on October 20, 2018 prior to the Symphony TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hevygunz Posted October 27, 2017 #90 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Very disappointed - looks like we're booked on the last cruise before the refurb - a five night western Caribbean out of Port Everglades 3/29 - 4/3/17. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanks6296 Posted October 28, 2017 #91 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Very disappointed - looks like we're booked on the last cruise before the refurb - a five night western Caribbean out of Port Everglades 3/29 - 4/3/17. Bah. We are considering this cruise also but after reading all the reviews about this ship being in need of refurbishment we are now rethinking. I am also worried they might cancel this cruise if they want to get into dry dock earlier. Do not know what to do.

hevygunz Posted October 28, 2017 #92 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I am confident that RCCL will honor it's commitment to sail on these dates. Cruisers in my family with 10+ voyages with them bear that out. Just thinking we were hoodwinked a bit by the Concierge Lounge reservation agent. Got sucked in because of the comp`d unexpected massive upgrade from a balcony stateroom to the Aquarius Suite on the Brilliance last April. Just another question I need to ask before making a deposit next time. We will go with a positive attitude & have a great time. Have to because I've booked the flight to FLL and the pre-cruise hotel.

ace2542 Posted November 13, 2017 #93 Share Posted November 13, 2017 They hold the nightclub function up in VIking Crown. They are getting rid of the club so they can cease serving drink and shut the ship down at midnight. They are being drunk out of house and home due to abuse of the unlimited drinks packages. They are also getting rid of the club because they don't want groups of younger people travelling together and the staff working till 4am in the morning.

ace2542 Posted November 13, 2017 #94 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I would bet money that the nightclub is going, one way or another. That would be a mistake I think what they have to do is to make sure that people can drink if they want to and have sufficent venues to do this in comfort. You take away a club for 100 plus people you are going to have a problem. On the NCL Epic I couldn't get a drink anywhere on the ship every bar was full with 4000 people onboard. I was surprised at the indy it didn't feel full we never had a probem getting seated at any of the venues the ship was full add more cabins and take away venues you are going to run into problems. I think the are also aiming away from younger travellers aiming purely after families and older couples only. Another big mistake.

gpz Posted November 13, 2017 #97 Share Posted November 13, 2017 if they do it like the liberty , if you are a diamond plus , then you will be screwed big time as though that level does not exist at all. hated the liberty for that reason and have been on both recently.

gpz Posted November 13, 2017 #100 Share Posted November 13, 2017 got off liberty on 11/05. the cl lounge was like a zoo. no place to sit , to loud to talk to anyone and line for drinks was so long that if you got one then good luck getting another. the card room was fitted with a key card lock and that was the suite lounge. the original concierge was still there but turned into the card room.
