@Tree_skier yes, I think so too. I am also wondering if the Splashaway bay is the same on both ships. We'll be living there all 5 or 7 days. 🙂 Also noted that the Freedom gym and spa has a different layout than Independence. I think the locker rooms/steam/sauna are gone!

Comparing 7-day itinerary on Freedom vs 5-day itinerary this Sept 2024 for family of three. Fare & taxes off by $60. Is the Freedom as up-to-date as the Independence? Or is the Independence much more updated? It seems the last major refurbishment was for Freedom in 2020, but Independence was back in 2018. We sailed on Indy in Dec 2022, and thought she was in need of refurbishment. I read online Indy did have a refurbishment in Feb 2023, but doesn't seem to have been much. Any thoughts? Which ship would you rather sail on? Itinerary doesn't matter to us. TIA!
