ryano Posted February 2, 2015 #1151 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I saw, at least according to marinetrafficdotcom that she hit that speed leaving Freeport coming back to Canaveral. i was watching her leave Canaveral Sunday and never saw her get about 16. Unfornately the updates stopped. I will check on that again. I don't remember if she is on Eastern or Western this week. Ahh yes, you were the one that reported that! The last update was at Feb 02, 2015 07:04 UTC headed to Coco Cay at 17.1 knots. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted February 2, 2015 #1153 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't remember if she is on Eastern or Western this week. Next week is scheduled to be Eastern, so I could assume they are going Western this week. If that assumption is correct I would think today is a sea day so she should be at cruising speed to Labadee. I'll watch for updates, is there another site than marinetrafficdotcom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has to be doing the Western this week as I'm on her next week and we are heading EAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryano Posted February 2, 2015 #1156 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Captain was Tor Isak Olsen and CD was Dru Pavlov. Wow, interesting! Both the Current Captain AND Current Cruise Director threads here are incorrect then. The Current Captain thread had Ron Holmes starting his rotation on 1-18-15. The Cruise Director thread lists Casey Pelter as CD. Edited February 2, 2015 by ryano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacherloves2Cruise Posted February 2, 2015 #1157 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Captain Ron Holmes and Cruise Director Casey Pelter She is up to full speed. Someone reported her cruising speed at 21 knots a day or so ago via Marine Traffic. Sabor is really there. Ive seen pictures and it looks great :) I'm sorry, that's isn't correct. It was Dru Pavlov for sure. My cruise compass listed Tor Isak Olsen for Captain as well. I don't know about the speed and yes, Savor is there and looks great.

ryano Posted February 2, 2015 #1159 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I was on the ship, that's why she was asking me. Thanks for the info. Casey Pelter started his contract yesterday as Cruise Director. I notified the contributors of the Current Captains thread that the Captain they have listed is incorrect.

Paulette3028 Posted February 2, 2015 #1161 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah, it was crazy. Dazzles shut down, and they closed the doors by midnight every day. By 12:15, the Promenade had little to no energy going on, with most clubs and bars shut down for the night. We really couldn't find anything that was open late, and its not like we didn't try. The ship became a ghost town by midnight every day. Maybe it had to do with the timing of the cruise? We went on the week of July 4th. I'm really hoping we have a different experience on the Freedom. I can't be the time of year, because we were on Allure the same week you cruised on Oasis.....perhaps it was the Cruise Director and the choices for times that he/she made?

FL Cruise Guy Posted February 2, 2015 #1162 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Did you make it up to deck 13 forward above the new additional cabins? Did they add any serviced area up there where 'San Tropez' sun deck was previously? I know that might be difficult to confirm on a short 2 night sailing as I am sure there were other priorities. I didn't make it up there. It was our first RCI cruise so we certainly had other priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset33 Posted February 3, 2015 #1163 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for the input. I know they added Sabor but I wonder why they don't let you reserve it. Audrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2Mich Posted February 3, 2015 #1165 Share Posted February 3, 2015 BTW, talked to my TA this morning who was also on the 2 day invite only cruise. She did say that she feels the MDR food quality was "dramatically improved," yet the Windjammer was the same old, same old as far as quality and variety.

Thanks Sent from my iPad using Forums I never saw it before. I did eat there 4 times during the 2 day, but didn't take any pictures. Didn't look bad, but not particularly new either. Any specific questions I might be able to recall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalmariner24 Posted February 3, 2015 #1168 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I heard they were doing over the buffet areas and the presentation of the desserts was going to be like the Oasis/Allure. Take the steps out in the back of the Windjammer and covert it to some type of ramp? Thanks :) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there were steps in the back. I believe there were steps in the middle and a ramp on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing was advertised about anything changing in Solarium. However, I will say, it looked awesome and I saw no signs of disrepair anywhere on the entire ship.

counsdr Posted February 3, 2015 #1173 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It doesn't sound like they did much inside the ship except add cabins and restaurants/bars. I'm disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you are dissatisfied with the work done. I for one am excited. Two new restaurants, a new bar, a working propulsion system and a few more shipmates.
