Fastdak25 Posted December 30, 2014 #151 Share Posted December 30, 2014 they got rid of the Crypt on Freedom? That place was awesome =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brfan Posted December 30, 2014 #152 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm surprised they don't remove deck 8 from the Royal Promenade and replace it with inside staterooms. They could probably put 40 staterooms there. Maybe too extensive a change a one month dry dock. Is there enough lifeboat space for 40 additional staterooms? :D I assume there are for the additional cabins that will be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 30, 2014 #153 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Is there enough lifeboat space for 40 additional staterooms? :D I assume there are for the additional cabins that will be added. I believe they put around 80 additional staterooms on Navigator without adding any lifeboats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted December 30, 2014 #154 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) We got a 'yes' from both Captain Tor and the activities director, Jeremie... So, it sounds like Sabor is coming :) Captain Tor and HM Michael Rasmussen also told people on the August 2014 sailings that DD was definitely coming so. :) I understand things change but I have decided I will put no stock in what the Captain and staff tell people and will wait to read about all the changes to Freedom here after drydock and then experience them myself in April. I do hope she gets Sabor. Edited December 30, 2014 by ryano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope she gets Sabor. RCI was seriously considering implementing DD on FR after Drydock when Captain Tor and HD Michael made the announcement on FR in August. However after a lot of considerations including structural, the company decided sometime this fall to keep the MDR on FR rather than DD. And now with DD being postponed for OA and AL and with the problems of DD implementation on QU, this seems like a good decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacherloves2Cruise Posted December 31, 2014 #158 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Has anyone found out how you got an invite on the Jan 30th sailing? I wonder if they plan to max out the ship or just have a select small group on the ship?Cheryl Hi Cheryl- I was invited because I entered a contest for something else. I didn't win the contest, but they invited all who entered. They also launched a subsequent contest as well where this was the prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacherloves2Cruise Posted December 31, 2014 #159 Share Posted December 31, 2014 And upper tier Crown & Anchor members & media. Nan, can you confirm that some upper tier C and A members have invites? Not that it makes a difference to me, but I was told otherwise. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted December 31, 2014 #165 Share Posted December 31, 2014 so has anyone heard if hairspray is coming or not? I asked last week at the behind the scenes entertainment tour and was told that it was unlikely. Major modifications would have to be done to all the set props as he stage on the Oasis is much larger than the one on the Freedom. The other is sure us he lack of space available. Freedom only has room for 10 of the backdrops and with the shows that she currently has it would mean cancelling several shows to make room for the backdrops for Hairspray.

Thetrail Posted December 31, 2014 #166 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Dynamic dining will be fleet wide, don't fool yourselfs. Can't wait! Goodbye knowing your waiters names who cares. I'm thrre for a good time and to eat and I won't be stuck in a main dining room all week. They have realized they can't keep losing passengers to NCL.Love hearing someone's "expert' opinion, when in fact it's not really an "expert opinion" at all.

Thetrail Posted December 31, 2014 #167 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Geez, Royal certainly is being tight-lipped about what's going to happen during Freedom's drydock! I'm not sailing Freedom till 2016, but still anxious to see what changes it will get.Sailing her in April 16 doing a B2B. A ways off I know, but like yourself curious to see what changes will be implemented....K.O.:) Edited December 31, 2014 by Thetrail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debde Posted December 31, 2014 #168 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I don't even have Freedom on my to book radar and I'm dying to know what she will be after dry dock!! :o I think some of us think it will be a few of the future changes to other ships too!!

Sun and Fun Posted January 1, 2015 #169 Share Posted January 1, 2015 We are in an Owner's Suite on the 1-10-16 sailing (yes, a long time away!) and I read earlier in this thread that rumor has it the Concierge lounge was becoming the Diamond Lounge and the Concierge was moving where the Diamond was? If this is true, doesn't it seem odd to move the suite Concierge lounge to deck 14 when all the suites are on deck 10? Curious to see what happens after the dryadic.

I think I read somewhere about the possible addition of a Coastal Kitchen. Maybe that and a Suite Lounge could be replacing the DL? Just speculation.

Curious to see what happens after the dryadic.I have heard that the CL will move to the DL Space and the Card Room will be converted into a new DL but anything can happen during Dry dock. I think the present CL may become a stateroom. However, this was a few months ago and there have been lots of changes about what they are going to do during FR's dry dock.

Coffeewine&sunshine Posted January 4, 2015 #173 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Sailing for the first time ever this March on FOS. DH and I have booked a grand suite and are very eager to hear about any updates made to the CL and suites. Do these spaces typically get refreshed during dry dock or is the focus mainly common areas?

It will all depend on what needs to be done! If we are really lucky, Dry Dock Dave will be able to take time from his busy schedule to post pictures for us as the dry dock moves along like he did last year on Navigator! The most important thing is to get those mechanical problems fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
