cruiseaholics Posted July 23, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Just off Rhapsody today (7/22) where a crew member told me last night that Freedom will be repositioning to Port Canaveral. I don't have any additional information such as timing, etc. and can't confirm whether this is true or just a rumor but thought I would share it nevertheless.

Sue L Posted July 23, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2007 It has been rumored since the announcement that Mariner would be moving to the west coast in feb or so of 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted July 23, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2007 That rumour has been around for about a year. I'm going to wait until I see reservation availability in 2009 before I believe the rumours. Two years is a loooong way away for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted July 23, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I wouldn't plan any cruises on her out of PC unless or until RCI officially announces such a move. ;) All that they have said so far is that any announcement about a replacement for Mariner won't be made in the near future. It never ceases to amaze me how much inside information is available from relatively low-level crew members. The fact that most of it proves to be wrong doesn't seem to stop the rumors from being circulated but it should cause people to be at least a bit skeptical. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseaholics Posted July 23, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Sorry to have repeated a year-old rumor. I tried a search and hadn't found mention of it. Obviously no bookings should be anticipated until an official announcement is made. As I said before, just thought I would share. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATOTIGER Posted July 23, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Just off Mariner of the Seas today and Captain Johnny announced at the C&A reception that Mariner will be moving to LA in 2009 and that possibly one of the Freedom Class ships will be moving to Port Canaveral. Mariner has been booked to capacity for the last few sailings and the next several sailings are booked to capacity, so they feel Port Canveral could handle a bigger ship?? Captain Johnny was asked if he would be moving with the Mariner, and he responded by saying he would like to stay in Port Canaveral. Mariner of the Seas was a wonderful cruise.. I would like to go again before it moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micknmin Posted July 23, 2007 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I would love it if the Freedom would move to Port Canaveral! It would be a much shorter drive for us than it is to drive to Miami! Plus we loved the Freedom when we cruised on her last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
