Default Freedom Available April 18 2010? I thought it was going into drydock?

Just saw where the Freedom can be booked April 18 2010. I thought it was going into drydock that week. Does anyone know what is going on?
That is the week my mother turns 80, I've been looking at the April 25th sailing and just found this one open. Thanks for any help.

I booked the April 18th cruise yesterday and panicked when I saw a post about drydock today. I called RCI and they assured me that we would be sailing on the 18th. Whew!!!

I had this cruise booked last January and it had to be cancelled because of drydock. I rebooked on LOS, but this cruise is less $$.

We are booked for the May 2nd sailing, to move to the 18th sailing, we will save over $1,000 for our 3 rooms. To me this is a no brainer, UNLESS, its an error on RCCL's end? I'll report back if i find out more.

My sales Rep (Frank) said it looked as though it was a Charter Cruise for the 18th of April previously and now it has been cancelled. He said it was never scheduled for Dry Dock.

I don't believe that's correct as it was on many dry-dock lists scheduled for April 18th.

Yes, thats why i posted his response , because it conflicted with everything else I read. I doubt they are super educated as to the schedules of the maintence, but I did find it interesting.

I'm just thinking of rebooking to that date and i'm hoping it was just a reschedule of the Dry Dock and not a Charter for (Insert a group of people you'd hate to cruise with here) that didn't fill the entire ship and they are hoping to fill the last 100 rooms with unsuspecting guest like myself!!!
