Ocean Boy Posted January 26, 2015 #731 Share Posted January 26, 2015 There has been no definitive answer to this question, however I suspect new carpet and mattresses are a probability.... What happened to the glasses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking forward to getting out of the cold weather as well as checking out the changes that was done to the Freedom over the past three weeks!

SherriZ366 Posted January 26, 2015 #737 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Picture of FR at drydock today from Carnival Fantasy -- if you enlarge it, you can see that the ship seems to be sitting out of the water IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicstress Posted January 27, 2015 #742 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Several hundred I believe? My biggest concern is the elevators. They were already over crowded and Freedom almost needs another whole new bank of them. Seems I had to plan way in advance and come up with a strategy to get up and down anywhere much worse than the other two RCI ships I was on. I know adding more elevators is not possible now but I guess the point Im trying to make is the elevator crowds will only be that much worse with more passengers on board. Especially if she is jammed to capacity and with the deals they are running right now on my sailing, I feel like she will be. There is a cure for that- avoid the elevator at all costs! (Unless of course you are not physically able). We did so on our last cruise and found it decreased our frustration levels ( and encounters with RUDE people) significantly. If more people who are able to walk the stairs ( like kids!) used the stairs it wouldn't be a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted January 28, 2015 #744 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Freedom should remain year-round from Port Canaveral, Florida with calls every other week at Grand Cayman through April 27th, 2017. The port schedules from Grand Cayman have been published and it looks like Freedom continues to call every other week at George Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacherloves2Cruise Posted January 28, 2015 #745 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi all, I know that there are a couple of us (myself included) who are boarding Freedom on Friday. Please let me know if you have questions you would like answered. I have never been on the ship before, so if you ask if something has changed or a specific question about a comparison to how it was before, I won't be able to be very helpful. But, if you have any straightforward questions, I will try and write them down and answer them when I get back. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2Mich Posted January 28, 2015 #746 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I would love to know if it appears that cabins have been refreshed, new carpeting, and general upkeep. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Lounge, Card Rooms, main Viking Crown? Is there a charge for hot items on the room service menu like on QN? Where is the Cupcake Cupboard? What do the new cabins look like? If you could take please pictures, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett We just booked Freedom for May in one of the new cabins being added on Deck 12(1864). From the deck plan I can't quite figure out what is directly above. I'm just worried about the noise!
