Freedom of the Seas headed to dry dock soon?

[morehay]

I saw mention of this somewhere but didn't know when or what will be done. Does anyone have any details?

[Clarea]

I believe it's scheduled for Spring 2015, and will get similar upgrades as Navigator got. No official info from Royal yet, except for the show changing to Hairspray.

She should have been done

I heard spring of 2015 also. I think that the link that was posted is upgrades that were done without going into drydock.

I thought the whole month of January 2015 was gonna be the drydock? :confused: There is only one 2 night cruise available in January '15

Ryano is correct. My B2B in January were both cancelled because of the drydock.

You are correct. Drydock is January 2015.

I think you guys are right. Somehow I thought Freedom's dry dock was after Explorer. Sorry.:o

True, but that was back in 2011. It's now getting near the time when she needs to go in again for a refit.

[ryano]

You are correct. Drydock is January 2015.

 

Good! I booked for April 2015 in full hopes of her being all spruced up and hopefully Izumi and Sabor in place :)

That is from her last drydock 4 years ago.

When Explorer of the Seas cruises were first released for Port Canaveral they finished early January. Then extras were added to early March 2015.

At one stage Explorer may have been going to dry dock first.

That 2day before she goes is so tempting, we'll see how low the prices get. :cool:

Last we heard was Jan. 4th

There's a 2 night cruise to Nassau that departs on the 4th, and gets back on the 6th. The next cruise departs on February 1, so it looks like a 24 day dry dock.

Is Nassau closer to Fort Lauderdale or Port Canaveral?

It's like a 5-6 hour ride from Port Everglades to Freeport, Grand Bahama.

They are doing the drydock earlier than they intended as FR had azipod problems. Our May 4, 2014 sailing was delayed in leaving about 90 minutes as they had divers repairing the azipods.

 

We were originally booked for 1-25-2015 and we had to switch to Feb. 22, 2015.
