negc Posted January 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Has anyone heard anything about the delivery status of the Freedom of the Seas? Just curious... Every indication so far is that everything is on schedule. The Massport website shows that the Freedom is scheduled to visit Boston beginning May 19th and will make other stops along the East Coast enroute to Miami.

Ericknow32 Posted January 23, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2006 She should be done with sea trials now. If she is not she should be finishing up. I still can't believe we are waiting for information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenandlaura06 Posted January 24, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hopefully, "no news is good news" in this case! It would be nice if they threw us a little information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelTech Posted January 24, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Searching the web for when she might be in New York. I came across: http://www.metro-home.com/ A 3 day cruise is being given away on freedom for May 16-18, 2005. Just thought you peeps might be interested.

Linda8818 Posted January 24, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I was wondering too since I have been waiting for them to open up summer '07 bookings and they said 'in January' in December, now they are saying 'in another month or two we're not sure'.

Rumor is that the ship will be doing the Eastern route in 07...but don't expect to see the bookings until March or April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted January 24, 2006 #11 Share Posted January 24, 2006 She should be done with sea trials now. If she is not she should be finishing up. I still can't believe we are waiting for information. She isn't due in the US until sometime in May so, even if you build in the time required for the crossing, I don't think she will conclude her final sea trials or be turned over to the cruiseline before sometime in April, or approximately three months from now. I am anxious for more information as well but I guess we need to exercise a little more patience. I suspect that they have a whole schedule of releases and events that they will use to build public interest before they finally unveil the finished ship to the world.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirmanCrazy Posted January 24, 2006 #12 Share Posted January 24, 2006 How soon will the pier in Cozumel be rebuilt to handle the Freedom. That's just too many people to tender in! Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zotzer Posted January 24, 2006 #14 Share Posted January 24, 2006 How soon will the pier in Cozumel be rebuilt to handle the Freedom. That's just too many people to tender in! Anyone know? Well, she'll be tendering in Labadee and Cayman as well. People are always so concerned about the tendering thing....guess I've never been caught in a tender jam bad enough to effect my opinion of the trip. Truthfully, I must be the only one who actually prefers tendering. LOL I've always loved boats of any size, and there is something awesome about pulling back up to the giant cruise ship on the tiny tenders. Makes it feel even more special and adventurous. I wouldn't hesitate to book a cruise that tendered in every single port, and Freedom is close, with only one dock port. Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRev Posted January 24, 2006 #15 Share Posted January 24, 2006 It is too early for her to be done with her sea trials. I think she will be going into sea trials next month. Remember, it is winter in Finland and the ice around FOS is probably a foot thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giventofly Posted January 26, 2006 #17 Share Posted January 26, 2006 What's amazing to me, is if you look at the pics on that site....you can really see a significant difference in size from the voyager class. I mean it's a REALLY discernable difference in length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotzer Posted January 26, 2006 #18 Share Posted January 26, 2006 She is a beast for sure!! If you look close, in some of the pictures you can see men working on the ship....they look like little ants. Ahhhh, the anticipation of that day when I see her for the first time. I'm always in awe of the ships and she is going to be something to behold! Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenandlaura06 Posted January 26, 2006 #19 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Freedom will be tendering in Cozumel definitely from what I have read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
