PH8 Posted February 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2005 With all the talk of the Freedom and soon to be booking coming soon....just wondering when most plan on cruising on this ship?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebl Posted February 16, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2005 You didn't have my choice. Probably never. I have no interest in the Voyager or larger class of ships. Will stick with the Vision and my favorite the Radiance class. The big ships are just not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debsavas Posted February 16, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I am looking at the last two weeks of June. My daughter graduates from high school on the 12th, my son is out of college by then, and at least the ship will have sailed a bit to get the kinks out.

PH8 Posted February 16, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Forgot to add my own two cents...............we're looking at Oct or Nov.....(2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keasc Posted February 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'll be on the inaugural. Nothing like being on a brand new ship.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyceyw Posted February 16, 2005 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I voted for 6 - 12 months, but it will probably be longer than that depending on prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OBAYbee Posted February 16, 2005 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I hope to be onboard during the first week in June. Those of you going on the Inaugural cruise please take PICTURES! Also, I have started collecting Inaugural chips. I was surprised how many people on Ebay do that too. Let me know if you get some and put them on EBay PLEASE!

paw323 Posted February 16, 2005 #11 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey PH, my family and I are thinking about going sometime in the summer, although that might be the most expensive time. Hmm... we might reconsider to the fall, though before hurricane season. When IS that, typically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted February 16, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hate to tell you Paul,but hurricane season is May till Nov...:( most activity I would say though is Aug thru Oct......(even though it could happen anytime in the season).............

Guest Crazeecat5 Posted February 16, 2005 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Probably in July. Can't wait to see and hear more about her. Sheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmy Posted February 16, 2005 #14 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hoping for inaugural but any of the first few sailings will be good.... :) Emmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjerryw Posted February 16, 2005 #15 Share Posted February 16, 2005 As soon as there's a coupon in the Crown and Anchor magazine.....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyaJune Posted February 16, 2005 #16 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Would love to go on the inaugural, but we are going with a group and will have to wait for the kids to get out of school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzym Posted February 16, 2005 #17 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Depends on when the inaugural cruise is in May. I am hoping for a date that is close to my 50th b-day on May 21st.... Happy birthday to me. I can't think of a better present to myself. Also depends on itinerary and price.... Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrosesdeb Posted February 16, 2005 #18 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hurricane season doesn't start until June 1. May should be wonderful cruising weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted February 16, 2005 Author #19 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hurricane season doesn't start until June 1. May should be wonderful cruising weather. I stand corrected!! Guess I just got mixed up with the eastern Pacific hurricane season that starts in May:p ............. Just seems all of last year was one big hurricane season here in FL!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BevMoney Posted February 17, 2005 #20 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hopefully, Oct 2006. I certainly hope that the prices are not anywhere near full fare during that time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamscometrue2 Posted February 17, 2005 #21 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Never on an inaugural too soon...let them get the kinks out and the let the crew gel first. Six months is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted February 17, 2005 #22 Share Posted February 17, 2005 never say never. :D I thought that way when Voyager was introduced but changed my mind after sailing on Explorer in 2001 and have since sailed Mariner and Voyager. While our favorite class of ship is Radiance class, each class of RCI ship has its good and bad (less good :)) features, so I'll reserve final judgment until Freedom is out and I have had a chance to check it out. Right now we are looking at October-November, 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted February 17, 2005 #23 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Just as soon as the group I am sailing with picks a week!:D Probably end of Oct. 1st of Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedi Posted February 17, 2005 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2005 You are still on here. I was emailing with you before I went on my first cruise, the fourth sailing of the Mariner of The Seas. I plan to go on Freedom of The Seas also. My girlfriend is going to be on the Mariner the 27th. She is booking the cruise for her while she is out there. I'm sure we won't go out on the first trip but maybe close to my birthday toward the end of May. Are you going? Kedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrosesdeb Posted February 17, 2005 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Parrothead, you are so right! We thought hurricane season would never end. Came way too close for us. It was supposed to end Nov. 30 but we even had a spillover hurricane this year. You never know but it is still worth it to me to live in Paradise and be close to all these ports!!!
