I'm sure there will still be openings later in the year when I can actually afford it. Stupid skipper opening booking too damn early (we've always got to find SOMETHING to complain about, right?)
According to CruiseDeckPlans.com, Indy has 94 less cabins than Freedom (1918 vs 2012).
Good to know. At some point I might do a deeper dive into it and try and do a more detailed deck-by-deck analysis, but my heart is just not in it at this point
Mine either. It's even more complicated by the fact that most of the deck plans have some clustered categories (e.g. 3V/4V and 1V/2V), and there's no hard and fast rule as to how they're allocated. I mentioned a few of the glaring differences in my deck by deck comparison between the Indy and Freedom. Deck 2 on Indy still appears to have the conference center forward, so there's ~22 less 1V/2V cabins was a big one that I recall.cowboy71 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 3:04 pmGood to know.

Not sure if any category changes since 2024 so just rolling with the 2024 figures.

Yep correct - by my count there are 27 less 1V cabins on Deck 2.toby wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 6:39 am

Yeah, I was trying to be quick about it, so I didn't do a detailed count, but here's what I had on those decks.cowboy71 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 8:17 pmYep correct - by my count there are 27 less 1V cabins on Deck 2.toby wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 6:39 am

Other main differences I spotted:
- Deck 6 there USED to be 4 Junior Suites which are now 2 Grands.
- Deck 11, there are now two 4Vs, but less 3 J3s
- Deck 12 there are no longer 4D and 3M class cabins. They seem to all be 1L now
Total cabins on Indy is 1918. It's slightly less than Freedom. That's total, but there are some number that will go to bands, 70K crew, etc., so there will be some number less than that available for booking. For planning purposes, assume 3000 'tickets' at double occupancy, so probably a max of 1500 cabins that are available to Survivors/n00bs.
I would think less than that. For a normal cruise double occupancy is the standard, but for our cruise, they stack us out pretty well :-) We have way more 3 or 4 to a cabins than a normal cruise does. I would think the average occupancy would be at least 2 1/2 if not 3.toby wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 7:09 am

I think that's almost definitely accurate, but that's why I said max. Andy still promotes it as 3000 tickets, even though when it sells out, it has more than 3000 people. I guess we'll find out if/when it sells out.slayergeek wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:35 amI would think less than that.

Cool, I'll have to check that out tomorrow. I was too lazy to do a manual count.Godflesh wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 7:20 pm According to this site, on the Indy J3+J4 only total 87 cabins.

There's still individual tix available for 2V and quad 1V. Those categories are only sold out for private bookings ATM. I don't know what the deal is with that. Sure, they technically make a little bit more on the individual bookings, but a private booking is a guaranteed booked room, which seems more desirable. Unless there's literally one ticket in each category available, but I doubt it. The boat never truly sold out. This year while waiting for the bus, I heard about a guy who got a 1B to himself because he booked the night before sailing.
And for 3K USD each with myself and one other friend we could pick a tour and follow it for a good chunk of the routing. If you have the right vehicle and the tour routing is gracious, you could feasibly do a whole tour.cowboy71 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 3:06 pm Also worth noting is a major logistical challenge facing 70k. A massive number of cabins are doubles and thanks to the ever increasing prices these are getting insanely expensive - 2T, 2N, 2D, 2B, J4. Now we obviously don't know how many of these are sold, but unsold that represents about 600 cabins, and those are all close to or above $US3000 per person when you include taxes etc.
In this current global economic climate that is truly insane, EVEN if you lived locally and had minimal other expenses! If you add in domestic or international flights, plus currency conversion etc that's a MASSIVE hit to the hip pocket that even I cannot currently take.
Been there, done thatMetaltrout wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 8:35 pm I changed from our normal 2 person balcony to an interior quad. It will be the cheapest 70k for me but I'm not sure about sleeping. I've already made peace with the probability of falling asleep in a random spot and ending up in the Facebook group as a 70k napper.
I have to assume that UMC is happy -- or at least not too unhappy -- with sales at this point. They COULD announce some big "marquee" bands to try and sell the rest of the cabins, but they really haven't.MuzakMaker wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2024 8:45 am I mean, we've only had 5 bands announced since the last post.

Not exactly any "OH MY GOD NOW I need to buy tickets" bands.
