Independence April 2018 Drydock

[ubish00]

We sail mid December and are able to purchase dining and beverage packages.

If I would have seen all of this last year I would have booked the Independence instead of the Brilliance for my B-day/Thanksgiving cruise. Oh well, I will be on the Mariner in a year. Can't wait for the SkyPad!!

Sailing on 2 refurbs (Indy and Mariner) this year and the newest member of the fleet (Symphony) on the TA cruise :cool:

[Debbie44]

What's happened to cafe promenade?

[kimlet]

Has anyone been able to purchase dining or beverage packages yet? We sail on Indy in January 2019 and still can't see anything.

nothing showing on mine yet too, had to change cruises because Royal decided to charter my original date

Feb 2019

Anyone know what will be happening to her while she is in Brest. Just 10 days to our sailing

Debarking contractors and containers.

Embarking the 'important' people.

Yes some fabulous photos on Instagram too using those hashtags.

 

This time three weeks we’ll be on her and I am so freaking excited!!!

[little britain]

Some very interesting photos.

In summary:

Playmakers will be a huge hit.

Fish n Ships looks expensive.

They have not updated the staterooms.

 

This first sailing for pineapples, tas etc is 2nights and is black tie tonight.

 

 

Just waiting for the comments on the chocolate bar.....

No updates in the rooms???

 

If they only added more rooms and people and pay restaurants and fun park stuff this is indeed very disappointing. I do not understand why people are exited about these changes.

What does the sky pad do?

[Joe12]

What does the sky pad do?

 

I think that is where they have the bungee trampoline.

[GarlicBread]

What does the sky pad do?

 

It's a virtual reality trampoline park.

[mooseman52b]

Hopefully we survive the puzzle room this time ;p

Because RCI and the CC crowd are good at hyping them.

[joolsmicra]

would like to know the prices of bungee thing and puzzle room...plus how you book them?? we are going on the three dayer and don't want to miss it

The SkyPad is free...for now.

But no booking. Just look for the opening times. They'l be different sessions with and without the VR.

[joolsmicra]

thankyou....we are a family of five adults, and trying to work out spends!!

Totally shocked by RC charging for this, surely main reason for a cruise is for the food and not having to.pay extra unless of course you are heading to one of the ultra fine dining restaurants. But fish & chips come on !!!. On the ship in 5 weeks time and really looking forward to it, safe to say will not be getting any fish & chips!!. Also noticed from some vids looks like they have fitted coke freestyle machines, which is good news :)

Interesting to note that Windjammer has been updated with new chairs and flooring. Not something I've seen done on any other ships.

 

MDR has all new chairs as well.
