MalteseMama2 Posted August 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I just watched the video about the changes planned for FOS. Looks pretty good to me. All I can say is I hope there are no further delays in finishing her as we are scheduled for the first cruise after her upgrade. I hadn’t scheduled to be on the first voyage because I didn’t want to worry about being canceled. But now she is already delayed up to our cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted August 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks for the link! Hope you have a great cruise. We are not back on Freedom until Jan. 2021. Was curious if they are pulling out the CL on deck 10 (replacing with inside cabins) and putting in SL...like other sister ships and Voyager ships. The deck plans after May 2020 don't show that change. Hope you come back and post a review! How are your babies doing? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fletch1027 Posted August 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Noticed that the Italian restaurant is going to be Giovanni's. Maybe the era of Jamie's Italian is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare fletch1027 Posted August 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'm curious what will be in store for Explorer. Hopefully some details will be coming out soon regarding Explorer, since it's next in line for Amplified after Freedom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside cabins went into old CL location on deck 9. Jamies Italian on Mariner (was actually quite good on that ship). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was weird walking by the old CL location on Mariner to see that new wall up, and the small hallway going to the inside cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are the 2nd cruise out of the hatch...04/12/20. I sure hope we don't get cut either...this is literally the ONLY week we can travel!!

That would mean the second cruise is March 15th. 4/12/20 looks to be the 6th cruise after dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsasecret80 Posted August 21, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 21, 2019 oh ok... I don't know why I had it in my mind that the first week of April was cancelled. It was March. Thanks for the response! I can relax now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW we were were told by the LA on the Freedom March 2019 that the CL would be gutted and inside staterooms added. Also that the Seven Hearts and Cloud Nine were going to be converted into the suite lounge. All to happen during the 2020 amplification. (?)

cr08 Posted August 21, 2019 #19 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Interesting. So we are set to take our cruise on Mar 29. The itinerary has been San Juan, St Maarten, St Kitts & Nevis, Antigua, St Lucia, and Barbados. But now sounds like some of that is changing. Any specific confirmation? I don't think it'll change our decision to take this cruise but just something to be aware of as we are still in the middle of figuring out excursions.

That is what I thought as well, though the "always reliable and accurate 😂 " RCI website does not show that on deck plans after May 3rd for deck 10. But I would agree with you, my DS friend, to be accurate information. Website info. Not! 😜 That is exactly what they did with little sister Mariner. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/freedom-of-the-seas/deck-plans/2008/10 Edited August 21, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
