The finishing work to 3,634-passenger Liberty of the Seas will now take place following the float out of the hull from dry dock.
Both ships will run alternate seven-night western and eastern Caribbean cruises from Miami, with Liberty departing on Saturdays and Freedom on Sundays. A third ship in the series is due to join the fleet in 2008.
