Final Bets for Freedom Amenities

[BevMoney]

All Bets are on!!!! What will be the big Freedom surprise?

[Ericknow32]

I hate to say it but until it is proven otherwise I think Freedom of the Seas will be a glorified Voyager class ship.

[superjerryw]

I think the big surprise will be a Sears and a J.C. Penny's in the shopping promenade.....:rolleyes:

[madelinerose]

LOL!!!

 

Well, we already know that the JS is smaller on Freedom than Jewel! :rolleyes:

[Teeara]

Hey, what about the bowling alley?! ;) :D

[Iamthesea]

I just asked this question yesterday on another thread and was told the JS was the same size. Maybe the Freedom JS's are the same size as the other Voyager class ships, but not quite as big as the Radiance class? I know there is a slight difference in size with those classes of ships.

[SharleneinTexas]

from RCI's website - only credence I can give to the accuracy.......:)

 

Jr Suite:

Freedom 277/69(balcony)

Jewel 293/66

Navigator 299/65

Radiance 293/66

 

Standard Inside:

Freedom 160

Jewel 165

Navigator 158

Radiance 165

I think with the Enchancments on the Enchantment we will see some of that stuff on the Freedom, such as the trampolines and maybe even a few more lounges and such. I also know that with the Royal Promenade being exteded this will add some space for some other stuff in there:)

Along the lines of rollercoasters and race tracks--they should premier a main-pool (non-kiddie) waterslide/water tube deal that winds around the ship. You get on the slide on deck 14 (or 20 or 40, or however many floors they're making these ships now!) and end up on deck 2, with its own shuttle elevator to go back up, of course, or maybe an express rollercoaster back to the top. People in the Promenade, gym, dining room can be entertained by bodies zooming by through the tubes:)

I personally think that it is more hype than anything. The ship is just a stretched version of an existing design. Maybe another lounge or two but nothing earth shattering.

I completely agree. Just take a look at the Passenger/tonnage ratio. All they have done is simply found a way to add more passengers and maximize their numbers. Needless to say I am booked for June of next year. But in honesty, I am really hoping RCI proves me wrong...'till then not holding my breath.

AMEN to that. I don't like to be too pesimistic by I would love to be proven wrong by RCI myself. What happen to bigger and better rooms slogan on Freedom??

[joeyancho]

I think there will be a used car lot on the top deck............

[The Mayor]

My guess is rickshaw rides on the Prpmenade Deck.....for an extra fee of course...

Will the fee be per person or per ride......:rolleyes:

[Guest OBAYbee]

Will the fee be per person or per ride......:rolleyes:

 

And do you tip after or before the ride?

[Bandit236]

I personally would want a nice size outdoor bar other than the pool bar.

Just my opinion.

I love the Voyager-class ships so much that I will be perfectly happy just to be on a "stretched" version, but I am very curious to find out why they created so much hype if all they did was stretch the ship. Aren't they supposed to make a big announcement sometime today?

I think all the hype is just a marketing ploy. For several years RCCL was able to say they had the biggest ships in the world. When Cunard (Carnival) introduced the QM2 they lost their bragging rights. It's just an attempt to get people to forget about the QM2 in anticipation of the Freedom class ships.

I just read this press release! The photo above is the new waterpark that will be on Freedom of the seas. There is nothing earth shattering though. Here is a link to the press release...
