Liberty 2016 dry-dock?

Looking at the schedule, it appears that Liberty is going to dry-dock in January 2016. Can anybody confirm this? I'm assuming similar added cabins and Sabor like Freedom?

Yes, Liberty is due for dry dock in early 2016, and is rumored to be getting similar treatment as Freedom recently got.

Great, more people :p!

Great, more people :p!

And less public space with the loss of the Night Club.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Oh well, I'll take another Sabor restaurant though! :D

Sorry, what is Sabor? Any news if they will be getting freestyle coke machines ?

Sabor is a new Mexican restaurant:

No news. I guess it would largely depend on whether or not the ship will stay in Galveston for a number of years. They are only onboard ships permanently sailing from the U.S.

Does anyone know what Giovanni's restaurant is and if it is free or cost? Also is it already in or will it be in replacing Portofino when Liberty gets redone in 2016

Giovanni's is a pay restaurant, single cover charge of $20 or $25 per person. It will replace Portofino fleetwide.

First part is lunch, second part is dinner. Lunch is $15 or $20. Some ships have a different lunch menu.

Liberty of the Seas still has Portofino for the time being. It is expected to be replaced with Giovanni's Table during her drydock next year.

What's the expected time in dry dock? I hear a water slide is going in as well.

Excellent. My wife and I will be taking our 13 year old on our first cruise May 22nd on this ship.

Your heard right. I think I read that there would be 2 or 3 waterslides, with one of them being a "Boomerango".

Was the menu the full lunch menu as posted above?

This helps me with a question I asked in the first time cruiser questions that has yet to be answered. This being our first cruise the pay for dining was a little confusing. So we pay a cover per person and that covers the entire meal?? This sounds like a deal if its true. Thanks in advance to those that answer and sorry to ask a question off the initial topic.

This varies by restaurant. Of course, most drinks are always extra. Some restaurants, like Giovanni's have one cover charge for all the food. Chops has a cover charge, plus extra charges on top of the cover for some items. Izumi is ala carte pricing.

Thanks Bob that helps a lot. Giovanni's was a restaurant we thought about enjoying while on the cruise.

Yes it was, great lasagna, each day there was a sign saying special price of 12 dollars and regular price was 15 ( only open the 3 sea days for lunch)

Excellent deal, thanks.:)

We are going on Liberty, our first RCI cruise, next July. I had heard about the work being done in Jan.. I knew about the slides but nothing else. I clicked the link above for the Sabor menu, it sounds yummy! I hope it's true. Can't wait to hear about sailing out of Galveston.

Are they getting rid of the flowrider?

Is the dry dock in the Galveston/Houston area?
