Biker19 Posted February 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2018 No reason to think it would be removed during refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbeanboy Posted April 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2018 She is right now on her last cruise before dry dock. Next cruise is on May 15 out of Southampton. Is she getting her dry dock in Freeport or in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribbeanboy Posted April 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I thought that the May 5th has been cancelled or do you meana TA without passengers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I thought that the May 5th has been cancelled or do you meana TA without passengers? You are correct, sorry, didn't look close enough to see that the site I used says "sold out". for that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted April 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Is she getting her dry dock in Freeport or in the UK? Very likely Freeport - RCI has a big financial interest in that dry dock and uses it for most of its ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin is crew and is flying out from the UK to Freeport to join at the end of dry dock, to sail back to the UK (without guests) as her first cruise three days later... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarlicBread Posted April 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Thanks for the update. Sounds like dry dock work will still be continuing on the TA, No problem. And probably, along with training for the new stuff they're adding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saab4444 Posted April 2, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 2, 2018 They add another 200+ cabins with paddles on deck zero. Big upgrade! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barreloflafs Posted April 9, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 9, 2018 If you access the ship's live webcam you can watch as they squeeze those staterooms onto deck 12 forward. At least I think that's what I'm looking at! You can also view time lapse for each day. The jogging track was torn up in no time flat..... https://www.royalcaribbean.co.uk/our-ships/independence-of-the-seas/live-camera/#royal-caribbean-independence-of-the-seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember anyone ever mentioning that before. It would be good to see it after the refurb also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barreloflafs Posted April 12, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 12, 2018 As they've completed addition of the deck above what used to be the open air jogging track the feed has now become very boring. Compressed gas cylinders and guys eating lunch. It was kind of interesting for a time before that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted April 12, 2018 #21 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It was kind of interesting for a time before that.... It may get interesting on some European sailings as that's the area one might see some topless sunbathing.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing Norway on Independence in late July. Let's say I'm not hopeful. Strike that. Let's say I'm hopeful but not confident! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
