It'll be interesting to see what they plan for these two drydocks. Are there any other Voyager class besides Navigator with the extra venues like Playmakers, Loco Fresh etc.? I could be totally wrong here, wouldn't be the first time. But Royal lists Voyager as one of the Amped ships. With Liberty, Adventure and Allure yet to be Amped, and Voyager being classed as already having it done, not sure they'll do much. For Explorer, they didn't do an Amp, but added slides. I would think if it came down to choosing, Allure and Liberty would be getting the Amp $$$. Also, Voyager is the oldest in the bunch of ships that were already done, or were on the list to be amped. Not sure they'd be pouring more money into her other than keeping her up her maintenance. Edited July 30, 2023 by rockmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They surely need to get rid of the high school plays that have been running for 20+ years - so sad!😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was particularly referring to it being categorised as ‘amped’ by Royal, as not an every ship that receives updates has been amplified ‘fully’, such as Explorer which just received waterslides in addition to general maintenance.

They did such a fantastic job amping Navigator, but I think money got tight after that. The HD on a ship I sailed last summer told me there was a whole warehouse of furnishings, carpeting etc. intended for a Liberty amp, and after Covid, those supplies got sent out to other ships that needed sprucing up before the restart.

I hadn't been on her until last year, but, I agree. Felt like the added cabins made for some odd paths to take, especially to Izumi. Couldn't find my way in at first and then got absolutely windblasted on the way another night. Maybe it was always that way, but, it felt cut off, so I assumed it was different prior to the amp. Missed the removed JR as an option, too. Edited July 30, 2023 by Steeler Nation At Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on voyager just after the first refresh in Singapore, I think it was 2019 . All they really did was put in a heap of extra cabins and a water slide. For some reason it was cut short.There was masking tape hanging from the ceiling,some seats where recovered and others weren’t. Pore old girl needs a bit more love. I believe Royal had another attempt in Europe before it went back to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner has been fully amped. We really enjoy sailing on her. She has Playmakers, and the Bamboo Room. There isn't a Loco Fresh, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkedAngel Posted July 31, 2023 #2133 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Some ships imho really shone after their amp ups, Freedom for example came out a whole new ship. Explorer, not so much they jammed in slides, no playmakers, and now no kid's area so literally to me all the hype for Explorer amp in March and we got slides?

Explorer was never advertised as an amplification by Royal, but was purely a general maintenance dry-dock where they happened to add a pair of waterslides. Freedom, Oasis, Mariner, Independence, Navigator and Voyager have all been ‘amped’, whereas all remaining ships have just received general work. I imagine Royal to focus on the remaining ships that were due an amplification, but didn’t receive it due to covid, before those that already have been ‘amped’.

It would be fair enough to replace Johnny Rockets with another food place (love, love, love El Loco Fresh) but looking at the deck plans of Voyager it was removed to make the kids area bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal didn't say they were finally amping her. They added some things, but a full amp wasn't what they moved forward with, likely due to budget. They don't list her as being amped on the website. I never saw any 'hype' from Royal themselves about it. I did see a lot of speculation on these boards though.
