need_a_holiday Posted March 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Two pieces of news popped up on the Royal Caribbean blog. Voyager of the Seas is getting FlowRider and VOS is getting refurbished in Q4 of 2014. The FlowRiders will be installed on Voyager of the Seas and Explorer of the Seas later this year, with no specific date. Voyager of the Seas is scheduled for a refurbishment in May 2014 and Explorer of the Seas will have her refurbishment in February 2015. Currently the shipyard expects Voyager of the Seas in for its work in the fourth quarter of 2014. The shipyard will help introduce on Voyager of the Seas many of the innovative and most popular onboard amenities that debuted on the Oasis-class of ships, as well as brand new innovative concepts that will greatly elevate the experience for our guests.

Royalty X Posted March 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah, she's actually now due for her refurb in October, before she repositions back to Australia. So yes, she will have the Flowrider when she comes back Down Under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esilef Posted March 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2014 What else is she getting! Great ship already. We need to keep her here always! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalty X Posted March 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well, if the recently refurbed Navigator is anything to go by, she'll be getting the pervasive wifi, digital signage, Izumi, Giovanni's Table, updates to Chops Grille, Sabor Modern Mexican, Champagne Bar will become R-Bar, the Flowrider, virtual balcony cabins and panoramic ocean view cabins (with ceiling to floor windows). I'm sure some things will be different and she'll get stuff Navigator didn't get, but those are the likely changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When on the Voyager last month, the advice given as to the refurbishing was to check out the recent refurb on Navigator as very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keagle Posted March 14, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Doing both the Fremantle to Singapore and the Singapore to Sydney repo cruises.

johnboi Posted March 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2014 We were told by a rep from RC at a travel expo recently that VOTS would be getting an outdoor cinema near the pool as well during this years dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizziedi Posted March 18, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm waiting for a Diamond Lounge, with a view.:) When we were on the Voyager, they had a makeshift Diamond Lounge with great views as opposed to its horrible inside Concierge Lounge. The Diamond Lounges on both the Rhapsody and the Radiance have great views as does their Concierge Lounges. Cheers Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Happens Posted April 4, 2014 #20 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I love ice skating shows and was soooo looking forward to seeing one and now they are removing the ice rink :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted April 4, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Where did you hear the iceskating rink is being removed? This is one of the main reasons I booked the Voyager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsie Posted April 4, 2014 #22 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Where did you hear the iceskating rink is being removed? This is one of the main reasons I booked the Voyager. It is the inline (roller) skating area that is being removed for the flow rider area not the ice skating rink. It is a great ice show. iIf you go to the past passenger event, for us it was held there and we got to see a more personal ice show as well, all about the skaters.

Magic Happens Posted April 5, 2014 #23 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Where did you hear the iceskating rink is being removed? This is one of the main reasons I booked the Voyager. I wanted to know what was being refurbished as we are going on her next January so I Googled voyager of the seas refurbishment 2014 and it showed up on a few sites including Wikipedia. I will be very disappointed if it's true :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalty X Posted April 5, 2014 #24 Share Posted April 5, 2014 They haven't actually released full details on Voyager's refurb. I highly doubt they would remove the ice-skating rink. The inline skating track is definitely going though, to make way for the relocated mini golf and Flowrider. I definitely wouldn't believe what you've read on Wikipedia. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinph Posted April 5, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I love ice skating shows and was soooo looking forward to seeing one and now they are removing the ice rink :( They are not removing the ice skating rink only the inline skating rink(roller skating) up on deck next to the golf course. When we were on the Voyager this didn't seem to get a great deal of use anyway. Ice skating shows were one of the highlights of a voyager cruise.
