Bahama Mama 40 Posted October 5, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Our family is considering booking FOS for Jan 06. Were recently on Mariner in June 05. The kids loved all of the activities but it was a very full ship and felt crowded at times(ie. pool deck, predinner pictures. buffets) We're just hoping that they are making FOS big enough for the extra 1,000 passengers. Any input would b great also how is weather in the Western itinerary in Jan.? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted October 5, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2005 We did the western in Jan on the Jewel and the weather was great. I got a really bad sunburn in Costa Maya so it was hot. The Freedom will be a lot wider than the Voyager class ships, so that along with the extra length should help with the space issue. If you want a less crowded ship, try the Radiance class. The Jewel was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherry7 Posted October 5, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Not sure if you had a typo in your original post, but the FOS doesn't sail until June (not January) of 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzLA Posted October 5, 2005 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2005 FOS will be quite a bit larger. Over 100 ft longer and some feet wider as well. The pool deck is 40% larger than the Voyager class, so I would say that it will be larger enough. And by the way, it is not an extra 1000 people. The Mariner of the seas, for example, has a double occupancy of 3114 and the Freedom has a double occupancy of 3600. Thats only 486 more people. I would say it will be plenty big.

Bahama Mama 40 Posted October 5, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Thanks for the info. I got my years wrong it will be Jan.07! It may not be as crowded as I thought. I would do the Radaiance ships except the kids loved all the activities on the Mariner and we don't want them to be bored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
