OfTheSeasCruiser Posted November 17, 2014 #157 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Sorry to bring this older thread back up, but have any recent passengers heard any new news regarding what is happening during the drydock??

counsdr Posted November 17, 2014 #158 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm sailing on March 8th and I'm already getting welcome aboard notices telling me to choose my excursions, but nothing more exciting than that! :confused: Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng23 Posted November 18, 2014 #159 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Sorry to bring this older thread back up, but have any recent passengers heard any new news regarding what is happening during the drydock?? Similar to what Navigator received. Deck 3 new inside cabins where the Crypt was. Deck 4 New restaurant Sabor where the Crypt was. Izumi is being added. Deck 12 new balcony and oceanview cabins. Cupcake Cupboard relocation. No Dynamic Dinning as previously rumored. If you look at the new deck plans for the Navigator it will give you a general idea.

If you look at the new deck plans for the Navigator it will give you a general idea. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app I thought they were not getting the extra cabins on deck 12, because if you want to book after January, you won't find any cabins available on 12. Deck 10 is where it stops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted November 18, 2014 #161 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I thought they were not getting the extra cabins on deck 12, because if you want to book after January, you won't find any cabins available on 12. Deck 10 is where it stops! We were also told in October no Sabor and Izumi will be located on the second floor of the Crypt. Let the guessing begin...again. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1northstar Posted November 18, 2014 #162 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just off FOS yesterday. Rumors relayed were that she will undergo similar changes as instituted recently on Oasis. Dynamic dining, therefore new restaurants, elimination of the Crypt and most likely a designated Suites Guest only Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 10 is where it stops! That could be true for the Deck 12 cabins. IIRC back when Navigator was getting refit the word on Freedom was that the upgrades would follow Navigator closely.

I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to make the changes to implement Dynamic Dining on FOS, even though they said they have no plans to do so. I imagine, IF they decided to proceed down that route, that they would wait until after it was implemented on Oasis to start so that they can work out the kinks on a ship transitioning from Traditional to Dynamic before they go and roll it out on more than one without testing it. I guess we will just have to wait and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make final payment on or before Dec. 9 for Feb. 22 so I would hope they would wait until a few months before final payment before implementing it for a sailing.

GonnaSailtoo Posted November 20, 2014 #175 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I'm on Freedom RIGHT NOW. What they are going to do is what they've done to other ships already: get rid of Rock Climbing wall and some lounges, etc. to make more guest rooms. Also changing the dining room...not sure what they are going to do with that. Anyway, More guests=more money and less room to roam. I canceled my March Freedom cruise. Gonna try something else.
