Dining Room as seen from deck 4. Our table is on this deck, by the railing [emoji3]

Robyn, does the track look botched where they rerouted it or did they do a good job with the redesign of the new deck? Would you possibly be able to post pictures of the new sun-deck over the new staterooms if it is opened yet?

 

I'm just trying to wrap my head around the redesign of deck 12, we loved that area of Freedom.

 

Have an amazing trip!

The new addition, Sabor Restaurant. We may try it sometime this week.

Every time I click away to attempt to get some work done you post another picture I can't stop reloading :p. Another day in the long and cold tax season for me.

 

Thanks for posting and letting us cruise vicariously through you!

Does anyone know if this store was part of the dry dock? It wasn't here in 2012?

It was there on the sailing just prior to dry dock.

Interesting about blue cushions. You'll have to tell us how comfortable the loungers are without them but with the gold towels.

 

I can say from personal experience that they are very uncomfortable! This is one cut-back that is really noticeable!

Here's a great view of the same area of the Navigator so should be pretty much the same on the Freedom. This was taken from either Oasis Allure.

They may have added a new sign but Michael Kors was there at Christmas.

[ckrobyn]

Your balcony looks awesome. I just finished blowing out my driveway and my parents. Now I just sitting here looking at your balcony.... I don't have an emoticon for "jealous".

 

 

 

Your cruise is soon. In a few weeks snow will be but a distant memory for you.....

I can't find a "roll eyes" emoticon, so this will have to do [emoji12]

Agreed 100%.

Makes no sense to me actually.

Most everything looks the same to me. MK was there before (I was on the Freedom four times in the fall--into Dec.). Looks like more room for smokers where the Crypt used to be -- more smoke for the casino. Keep the pics coming - besides that new restaurant and the missing Crypt, I haven't seen anything different.

[NaiNoNo]

Thanks so much for doing this. I'm reading your posts while snuggled on my sofa under a blanket. Hiding from -31C here in the nations capital. [emoji16]

 

I will be in board in 28 days!!

It's true. Not much seems different. I can tell that carpets have been replaced and the ship looks terrific and very well maintained. I'm not sure exactly what I expected to see post dry dock, but nothing highly noticeable other than the new cabins and restaurants.....

Appreciate you taking the time to do this live thread. Thank you.

 

I have got a couple of questions;

 

Can you please let us know if the casino is "smoking"

 

If you get a chance, could you please take a couple of pics of the sky chapel above Viking crown lounge. We get married in there later this year and would love to see it beforehand. Thank you in advance.

 

:D
