USA Today article on Freedom of the Seas

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/...the-seas_x.htm

My thoughts, could RCI's timing have been any worse with Poseidon opening
today? However, that said, the article says they are fairly well booked
into January.

What I find amazing is that with NBC's "Today Show" devoting three hours
this morning to FOTS, there has been absolutely no discussion of it.

RCI has a "sale" in for June sailings. Today only.

My impression, and it is only an impression right now is that cruise
demand is softening, and that cruise prices are starting to fall.

I taped the show but haven't had time to watch it yet.

I taped the show and watched it this morning. I wasted my time. They
didn't show much of the ship except for the flow rider and the bridge. What
little I did see looked just like Voyager. I don't know about the 4300
capacity. Seems like it might be pretty crowded to me.

Carnival is having a lot of Thursday Only sales offering mulitple
upgrades and cabin credits. RCI and Celebrity are offering deals on
some pretty nice cruises pretty far out. We may be reaching
saturation. I don't know if the economy is softening or what.
Although the Med is pretty hot now.

I just got a great deal on Explorer out of NJ in August. Last
year, deals on summer cruises out of NY/NJ (certainly of the
sort I got) were unheard of. My TA said that he is seeing low
demand on Caribbean cruises this year. Anyone else care to
confirm?
