So, who's up for turning the 14(!) bed presidential family suite into the ultimate party-pad?

Some notes:
Few interior cabins on deck 2 and 3. RC doesn't distinguish between e.g. a K on deck 2 and 10, but that doesn't mean that UMC won't.
Very few regular ocean view besides deck 2 and 3.
Only twin and family (6 person) with promenade view.
Many more handicap cabins than majesty (32 vs 4).
Lots of balcony cabins and suites.

As on Majesty, bands and crew will likely take around one fifth of the cabins.

Edit: Some minor corrections.

LOL - considering I won't be on broad in 2015, I was thinking I may have to 'pass the torch' to someone else this year

by **taketheday** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 12:57 am

Interesting if you consider that the Liberty wont be available the 2 last weeks of January. I checked on the RC website and except the Majesty, no ship is available at the end of January

So, there are 2 solutions there: or we will get the Majesty once more or our cruise will be on in another month

Maybe it's not available because Andy has already booked it?

by **cowboy71** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 3:30 am

Liberty has a BEN & JERRYS!!!!

I'm soo bummed out by that :(

Putting it to perspective - we literally have only one or two Ben & Jerry's scoop shops in Australia. Ben & Jerry's tubs are fairly widely available in supermarkets now, but EXPENSIVE. I'm talking $14 for 500mls.

Its good, but its not THAT good!

Mini golf? Ben and Jerry's? Cupcakes? Big upgrade over the Majesty. Just a shame ice skating won't happen.

I dont want to know how many broken limbs that will cause. Same with the wakeboarding thingy haha

I just saw they have wakebroading. Awesome!

by **Speedy** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 2:55 pm

Cabins are significantly larger on Liberty. The smallest cabins are comparable in size to Superior Ocean View on Majesty. It will be nice to have a little bit more space to move around, especially with four people in the cabin.

by **Stained Class** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 3:15 pm

Interesting, they have 2 3 4 6 8 and 14 person rooms. I wonder if the 14 person room would be much more per person, that'd be a fucking party lol

by **Speedy** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 3:24 pm

Stained Class wrote:I wonder if the 14 person room would be much more per person, that'd be a fucking party lol

That room is HUGE, 113 m² with 75 m² balcony or the same space as four junior suites (compare decks 6 and 7), so it's probably quite expensive even if you fill all spots. It has two bedrooms with double or twin beds, two with four bunks and a couch that converts to a double bed.
But yeah, it would be the ultimate party cabin.

by **Digimortal** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 4:14 pm

Damn, I want to be part of that cabin! hahaha

I pity the person who elects to be the lead passenger for that bad boy!

It's as difficult as herding cats to deal with 3 other people, dealing with the finances, people dropping out, etc. - imagine 13!!!!!

Best and worst cabins on the Liberty (bear in mind that criticism leveled may not be particularly relevant for a metal cruise):

Pool deck looks like it may be a bit awkward for a stage since there's so much stuff on it. Wonder how that will be set up.

In the press conference Andy said because they can't remove the hot tubs, they'll integrate the stage around it. So there will be hot tubs on the pool deck stage.

I predict the hot tubs will be even a bigger cesspool on that cruise.

This is good, since a four person cabin is quite crammed at the Majesty.

Then again, cabins are just for storing your luggage, showering and maybe sleeping.

I will be interesting to see exactly how the pool deck stage ends up.
The steps between decks 11 and 12, and the balcony on top of the skybar on deck 12, should make it easy to see the stage from the back (facing the stage, actually front of the ship).

The stage will be off the left side of that photo, at the end of the gangway between the two pools.

I also put in a few minor correction on my cabin listing above (I still don't guarantee anything).

by **Samhain** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:59 pm

None of the new ships have quite the same layout as Majesty. It'll be interesting to see how our Pool Deck turns out!

I for one am excited about The Catacombs, which will clearly be a black metal bar, haha.

by **Speedy** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 4:13 pm

There are apparently interactive LCD maps onbroad, useful for those who fear getting lost.

The theater will have less sideways motion since it's lower in the ship than on the Majesty, but more up and down motion since it's farther forward. Studio B/ice rink should be the most steady stage so far, since it's low and center in the ship.
Curious to see where the last stage ends up. Hopefully somewhere with higher ceiling than Spectrum so they can raise the stage a bit more off the floor.

"An additional $176.00 per person will be added to your total at the time of booking to cover taxes and port fees. Gratuities will be charged to your cabin account at time of boarding in the amount of $48 pp for standard cabins (Junior Suites and smaller) and $57pp for Grand Suites and larger. - See more at: http://rocklegendscruise.com/cruise-det ... HhMWE.dpuf".

Ooooh, so the cabins were actually CHEAPER, and on top of that, the extra fees were much less on that cruise. Who knows, we may end up paying LESS for a better ship. One can always hope!

I imagine the additional charge is decided by the company, and is not in function of the boat, but I'd love to be proven wrong!

by **cowboy71** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 6:10 pm

It looks as though that cruise would have far fewer bands thank 70k.

But damn, ALICE COOPER! I'll bet one of the Presidential suites is his

Just for shits and giggles I put in info to book a Majesty cruise and the fees were only $77 so I think you're right. That is a big difference from 70K even if you account for the much lower price for a normal cruise (I think).

by **Speedy** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 2:51 am

After some looking on deck plans and cruise review I've found that The Sphynx (deck 5 forward, directly above theater) is the equivalent to Spectrum, so that's probably a good guess for the 4th stage. The biggest problem I see with this is that it has cabins directly above is, which may limit the sound level.

Man I remember getting lost on 70K 2011.
