RDeagazio Posted August 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I was speaking to my RCI Group Coordinator in Miami this morning and she just happened to see them deliver the model of the Freedom at RCI headquarters. She didn't get to look at it for long before they wisked it off to some hidden area, however she was able to peek long enough to give me this bit of info: The Sports Deck is going to feature a wave pool for simulated surfing. It will be on the upper most outer deck. Stay tuned for more info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted August 13, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I heard somewhere to they are having a Flume Ride on it something like the one at Splash Mountain at Disney World in Florida. I could be wrong though.:confused: Jimbo:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they are installing it on Celebrity so the Fashion Police can punish those of us who refuse to join the March of the Penguins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they are installing it on Celebrity so the Fashion Police can punish those of us who refuse to join the March of the Penguins There must be two exiting chutes. I distinctly heard that one chute is strictly for those who insist on wearing nice jeans into the dining room during casual nights. It must have some sort of waterproof high-tech fashion sensory equiptment installed in order to tell the difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillababe Posted August 13, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 13, 2005 ... it does make me wonder though.... where do they spit out the speedo-wearing dudes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted August 13, 2005 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2005 ... it does make me wonder though.... where do they spit out the speedo-wearing dudes? It depends on how cute they are in those speedos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted August 13, 2005 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hey, NOBODY is cute in Speedos. It's official, too. The National Enquirer did a poll of the soccer hottie, Beckman, in Speedos and shorts, and the shorts won out. If HE can't cut it in Speedos, then nobody can. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillababe Posted August 13, 2005 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2005 It depends on how cute they are in those speedos. The last time I thought someone looked cute in speedos was 1979, when everyone was wearing them. But, I was 14 and didn't know any better. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schplinky Posted August 13, 2005 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Wouldn't a wave pool take up a lot of room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted August 13, 2005 #13 Share Posted August 13, 2005 OK, here's my questions. If the RCCL rep got a "quick" look at at model, how did she know it was a wave pool and not a lap pool? Did the model have big 3-D waves splashing over the sides washing all the chairhog's items off their front row loungers? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the model have big 3-D waves splashing over the sides washing all the chairhog's items off their front row loungers? :) Pretty easy, with all the complaints about rerouting the VOS to Canada RCCL has a new policy beginning with Freedom. They won´t reroute this ship anymore regardlessof weather they are sailing into. With Hurricane force winds every pool on the ship will get a wave pool, as well as your bath tub in your suite.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVDCruiser Posted August 13, 2005 #16 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Wave Pool?! Awesome! I hope it's true. When I went to Cape Cod in June the hotel had one of those - never knew those were so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDeagazio Posted August 14, 2005 Author #17 Share Posted August 14, 2005 The RCI staff member got a long enough look at the model to see the wave pool-- it also had a model of a guy on a surfboard riding the waves. She said the pool will be on the uppermost deck aft.. near the mini-golf and sports deck. Apparently this information is now common knowledge at RCI agents as my secondary contact also confirmed this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schplinky Posted August 14, 2005 #18 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I'll be kind of disappointed if it's a wave pool. Ther eisn't enough room to do a greta one and the area will be swamped with kids. I was hoping for more adult innovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuyi64 Posted August 14, 2005 #20 Share Posted August 14, 2005 That's the same Freedom website that's being around for a while. There's no new info there as of today; it still says that "Top Secret" info will be coming soon in August 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericknow32 Posted August 14, 2005 #22 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I don't think it is going to be a wave pool. I don't think it is going to be a pool at all. This is what I think it will be. http://www.flowrider.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
