2017 Grandeur Refurbishment

It was mentioned on a recent trip that new, higher, beds are coming. It will be nice to be able to fit all the suitcases under the bed.:D

They were replaced while I was on in January (the week the lifeboat fell off).

That number seems a bit high...I believe that is what they spent on the BIG 2012 remodel.

Agree. Sailed on this ship since it's 1st yr. Told not many changes as was done last Dry Dock. This is just routine marine side.

Well, the asking price for Grandeur is $100M higher than Rhapsody.

Just a side note, traveling to the NV today and almost in Miami we passed a lifeboat from Grandeur south bound on a wide load trailer???

 

 

 

A couple of weeks a lifeboat fell off while docked in Charleston ... I just got off her today and I can confirm that the lifeboat at muster station 5 is missing ... :eek:

Thanks for that information as I was curious about why it was on a trailer SB on I95.

If you check out Grandeur of the Seas on Instagram, it looks like part of the dry dock is including an update to the pool area!

^ like what?

Wasn't much extra planned. Think they just replacing walking surface. I remember at one time all the upper decks had that putting green material, was hot to walk on! Now they use cooler wood or fake wood laminate...

Ah, good ole props and rudders.

Good to see progress on Grandeur! 😀

those are great pictures!!!

 

Is this in Freeport?

New Carpet various parts of the ship. new pool decking, jogging track boo boo (crack) being repaired, new canvas over hot tubs in pool deck area, some staterooms with new mattresses, painting of the ship, some new furniture, etc. etc. plus mechanicals....

Seats in the theater need to be replace, some tears and worn i noticed on my last cruise in April

When we were on her in March our cabin had a new bed. They are much higher and the mattress are better. You can fit your suitcases under the bed.

The ONLY thing I would like changed on the Grandeur would be elevator access to the fitness center,alas,that will never happen.

It's been reported multiple times that it's cosmetic and below the water line maintenance. We were on April 8-17 and that's also what we were told.

 

Cosmetic means furniture reupholstery as needed also (theater included). We were on March 18th 2014 cruise when the second (starboard side) boo boo happened. The port side happened the cruise before ours. We've been on a couple of times since and are glad it's finally being permanently fixed.

 

It's still mostly routine maintenance. No major things being done (new builds such as restaurants).

Good info, but it's not new.

 

The canvas on deck 10 that's over the skylight areas is probably also being replaced as it was torn a couple of years ago during a storm.
