Freedom Drydock?

I know the Freedom is now in a scheduled drydock and also to repair the propulsion issues they have had for the last month or so. Does anyone know what else will be done during this drydock?

I am very interested to know if the "soft goods" i.e. bedding, sheets and towels will be replaced? We just got off the Brilliance and the ship is in good shape, but the beds are like cement swayback concrete slabs.

I have also read some recent reviews that indicated that the interior public spaces could use some general refreshing. If you've been on the Freedom recently - what's your opinion of the MDR and specialty dining food?

I understand there is a new pier and building at the port - anyone have experience with the new facility?

Here is the speculation on the dry dock:

I hope we get new beds as they weren't very comfortable last year!

However, we don't seem to be getting much information and none from Freeport!

The RCI blog listed all of them changes on the first day of drydock.

New rooms, refurbishing of existing room. Adding Sabor, Giovanni's, and a new R-Bar lounge.

Which blog are you referring to? Would you mind linking? Thanks!

It is my understanding as well that staterooms are included on the list of "refreshments" :)

Where is this blog?

I still think it's odd that reservations are available for Izumi but not Sabor for my Feb 8 sailing?? :confused:

Where is this blog?

I googled "Freedom of the Seas blog" and found it.

I think this is what they were talking about. Some info on the changes are there.:)

The first hit is an unofficial fan blog who got the information from the Freedom page on the Royal site that we have all been checking.

Don't know if anyone has seen this but Royal Caribbean has posted a video diary about the dry dock update.

I believe that video is from the previous dry dock.

Yes, that is from the first Drydock upgrade! Thanks for trying though!

Doesn't work for me

There are 2 spaces to remove in what was posted. The first time I tried, I missed the one between 'caribbean' and 'blog'!

Also, as mentioned before, if you google 'Freedom of the Seas Blog', it is the first link that comes up :)

The one upgrade I'd love to see Freedom get is the made to order pizza like on the Oasis class.

I thought Sorrento's would do that?:confused:
