Southernbelle73 Posted November 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just curious if anyone out there has an update on the status of the Spirit. I will be traveling on her this next weekend..... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raudacruise Posted November 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Her web cam has been disabled since Tuesday. I've been checking every day. If I see it on I'll post. I would imagine they would be pulling her out of drydock mid-week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romrai Posted November 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Southernbelle73, please let us know when you get back of her upgrades. I am travelling on her next year and am curious whether they are putting mini fridges in balcony rooms......however, doubt there is room.

british betty Posted November 16, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Southernbelle73, I would be very interested to hear your opinion of the Spirit when you get back please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy feigen-pilott Posted November 16, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I am travelling on Spirit in January.... I was told I would have a fridge in my balcony room, but no categories lower. Please post after your cruise so i know if I was informed correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crewsin250 Posted November 16, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I drove over to Mobile yesterday and it is still in the drydock it looked like most of the bottom painting was complete. With only 7 days before her first sailing I am sure there will still be a little work going on onboard. I know when the Fantasy left they still had some touching up to do.

DMRick Posted November 16, 2008 #9 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Someone asked at the desk when she would be out of drydock and after looking at a paper, was told the 18th. I thought she was beautiful in September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crewsin250 Posted November 18, 2008 #18 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Time2cruise1 no I could not tell where they added the new balcony cabins, had a hard time being able to get close enough to see the ship I took most photos through a fence at another shipyard. Southernbelle73 you are welcome and now from a fellow Mississippian to another I would like to ask a favor if you do not mine. If you would please send me an e-mail with the dailies from your cruise. Raudacruise thanks for the update on the webcam, to late to look today but will check it out tommorrow and may get to see it come off of drydock according to an earlier post.

Toyz711 Posted November 18, 2008 #20 Share Posted November 18, 2008 one rumor was the new cabins going in up on the top deck..taking over the running track..where the basketball court should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster2 Posted November 18, 2008 #21 Share Posted November 18, 2008 What we heard was that they were going to be forward on deck 10 where the current game room is/was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENGINEER Posted November 18, 2008 #22 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I read somewhere that the were moving the child care center and video arcade down to the fifth floor and filling that space with the new cabins. The space available there makes sense. engineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM444 Posted November 18, 2008 #24 Share Posted November 18, 2008 To all those sailing her the first week - If someone could scan and post the dailies, I know the rest of us would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy feigen-pilott Posted November 18, 2008 #25 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I would love the Dailies.... and I am a balcony room on FWD 10... so that placement would make sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
