Joe12 Posted March 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Indy is out for over a month in dry dock, so that indicates to me that this will be a big one. Does anyone have any idea of what they may be adding? If it is a Liberty type refurb, I may be doing a July 2018 sailing on her, because if everything works out, I might be taking Symphony's TA.

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted March 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Nothing official, so know one can say for sure. My guess is that it will be similar to Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Nothing publically announced by the cruise line, but I would also guess that the changes will be similar to Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe12 Posted March 31, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I hope there will be some waterslides. Liberty has got me really excited, but I will NOT sail from Galveston, but with Indy from Southampton, I am tempted. Did the 7 day Med/Barcelona run on Allure and Harmony. Was an OK itinerary for an October getaway, but not one for early July as I like to take a 2 week summer vacation, and I don't want to spend more than 1 night in Barcelona. That's why we did Explorer, Oasis and Anthem from the States, and will be doing Harmony from FLL this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tradman Posted May 31, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Any more news on this drydock and what to expect? We booked yesterday for the Thanksgiving 2018 sailing and the RCCI agent said that there would be several new restaurants on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillme Posted May 31, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Does anyone think she may get Freestyle machines? Going on Independence in September and will miss these machines! Founds them really good on our recent Oasis cruise ....and Freedom last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillme Posted June 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nothing publicly announced by the cruise line with regard to Freestyle machine installation. Thanks Bob! Not been on a Royal Caribbean cruise without but the refit won't affect our September cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpluvsdolphins Posted June 1, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Another suite lounge. I'm happy I have 2 B2B's before the change AND Felix will be the concierge!! Love Felix! When is the Freedom going to change to a suite lounge? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradman Posted June 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm thinking that the Freestyle machines wont be installed on IOTS because according to a feature about the Freestyle machines, they are only available on ships that are State-side (unless this is being updated, which I really hope it is). I'd really like to know if IOTS will be getting slides and what new restaurants my RCCI employee was referring to (he did not know specifics).

firsttimer57 Posted June 5, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 5, 2017 This is welcome news. We have just got off the Indy this weekend and sadly she is definitely looking jaded. It is inevitable though, as these ships do take a lot of hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 5, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 5, 2017 In addition to those additions listed in the reference above, Liberty got a new Suite Lounge and the old Concierge lounge is now the card/game room. The Suite lounge is port side deck 14 where Seven Hearts and another room used to be. BTW, the above reference R Bar listed as a dining venue, is not a dining venue. It is a re-decorated version of the old champagne bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradman Posted June 5, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 5, 2017 In reference to the Jaded comment- we sailed her for the first time in November 2016 and loved it. It was our third cruise ever, with our first being on Monarch OTS and our second being Carnival Fascination. I will say, it was good being back on RCCI. As you can see, IOTS was our first BIG ship. Was very cool. I called to check on something two days ago and asked the rep if he had any updates on the dry dock. He stated that it looked like a big refurb was scheduled. Lastly, according to some deck site I found online, it shows Labyrinth being changed to Raven. I guess it's still gonna be a club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 5, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The nightclub was removed from Liberty and more cabins added on deck 3 with Sabor being added in the space on deck 4. If they keep the nightclub, I can't imagine where they would locate Sabor. And I'll bet Sabor will be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalPain27 Posted June 17, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Just booked a 5 night sailing on IOTS for January 2019. I knew I'd find some info about a revitalization here! I am on Liberty for a 7 night this August; really looking forward to that! Hoping that Indy will have a full update completed in 2018! -RP27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorben-Hendrik Posted June 17, 2017 #18 Share Posted June 17, 2017 She should have be done by May 2018! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseDucks Posted June 17, 2017 #19 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm thinking that the Freestyle machines wont be installed on IOTS because according to a feature about the Freestyle machines, they are only available on ships that are State-side (unless this is being updated, which I really hope it is). Not sure that this is still an issue - Anthem and Explorer both have freestyle machines and both have done UK seasons in recent years (with the machines working).

Bandit236 Posted July 12, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 12, 2017 From what I read, drydock will be tween mid-January and mid-February. We are scheduled to be on the ship April 14, 2018 after drydock is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 12, 2017 #23 Share Posted July 12, 2017 From what I read, drydock will be tween mid-January and mid-February. I have not heard of any cancellations of existing sailings during that time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krise88 Posted July 13, 2017 #24 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Definitely not the end of Jan/first week of Feb. We are already booked on our yearly charter cruise on Indy the first week of Feb and its on the old deckplans. I looked up Indy's itinerary and it has a gap from April 3-May 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorben-Hendrik Posted July 13, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 13, 2017 The gab is extended until May 18th as the TA is cancelled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
