Carnival Freedom June 2 and 6 cancelled

[charliesdad63]

FYI - I received notice that both the 2nd and 6th have been cancelled. All other weeks are still open for booking.

[Jamman54]

If I were booked on the Freedom anytime in June, I would be making alternate plans just in case! 

[phoneman69]

Just glad my Freedom sailing is not until Sept. Should be fixed by then. ( I Hope )

Is the June 11th cruise still on ? She is still in Freeport with no destination yet.

Last update said it should be finished June 10th.  They have not cancelled June 11th (as of yesterday that I saw)

How many HOURS does it take to get from Freeport back to Florida?

They said it would be done the 10th so I wouldn't expect movement yet.

The distance from FPO (Freeport Grand Bahamas Intl airport) to MCO is 206 miles, so a little less to Port Canaveral.

Depending on route, it is about 184 miles, or 160 nautical miles.  If the ship sails at 16 knots (16 nautical miles per hour), it would therefore take 10 hours.

I knew somebody would know..

So I guess as lonmg as they leave Freeport by tomorrow afternoon, all should be good for for June 11th sailing. (or at least keep working throughout that cruise)

If they wanted to go at 20 knots, it is only 8 hours, so for a typical 6am arrival in PC, they could leave at 10pm.  Since they don't have to turn cabins, they could arrive a little later, but I'd say midnight is around the latest.

I just measured distance using Google Maps.

 

And as @chengkp75 noted, the ship is (should be) quite capable of a higher speed, I just picked 16 knots as an easy bit of math and to show that even at that slow speed it isn't very long of a journey.

Without the spoiler slowing it down, should be able to go faster. Getting ready to sail

That’s a great picture for everyone sailing on the 11th.  Looks good.  For some reason, in my mind, I kept thinking they were going to refashion a new wing.  Nope, just cut the other one off.  Makes more sense.  Yay 😀. Sailing her on the 30th.

We are booked for mid-September.  It has crossed my mind that they might cancel a couple of cruises later, once they are ready to install a new whale tail (if that is what they intend to do).

I was going to say the opposite, with out the wing it will slow it down 🤣

Not real likely that they'd take a revenue generating asset out of service if it wasn't necessary.  I think Freedom is due for a drydocking in 2023, so that would be when they do it.

[CajunOyster]

Glad I didn't take that 25:1 action on the scrapyard 😂

[1kaper]

I know the pic was shared but this is very promising.

They had to cut farther down the funnel than I expected. I expect she will look like this until her next drydock, whenever that may be.
