Do they swap ships after reservations are open?

That's why you pick either Celebrity Summit or RC Freedom of the Seas.

And yet it happened to me.

It happened to me a few years back when they switched the ship we were booked for the Liberty out of Port Canaveral.  From what we heard, the Liberty was having propulsion problems and was a better fit for the 4-5 day Bahamas cruises than the western Caribbean routes that it had been on.

 

The original ship was of the same class as the Liberty, and I believe that most rooms correlated well so there wasn't much of a difference.  I don't think it affected us at all.

I was booked on the Carnival Liberty and it got re-positioned with the Valor.  Same size ship, same room.  It was because of propulsion problems with the Liberty.
