Grand Drydock Issues/Others Scheduled

[Jassy]

Golden has the WS suites...

 

Yes, as do the Caribbean and the Grand. And soon, hopefully, the Star.

 

Has anyone seen a floor plan on the WS rooms? I looked on the website and was not able to find it.

 

Nope. For some strange reason Princess has never published either a floorplan or photos of the WS rooms. They are laid out differently than the other suites and they do NOT have a balcony (hence the name WS, I suppose). There are photos somewhere here on CC; I will search them out and put them up on this thread when I get some free time (or you could do a search yourself).

Thanks for taking the time to do that! :)

Hello, I just booked the Crown for 2/18/12. This will be our 4th time on the Crown. We sailed her when she was only 6 months old. The last cruise was Feb 2010. The mattress in our Caribe deck cabin in 2010 was very very uncomfortable. Does anyone know what will be done on the Crown drydock in October?

Thanks,

Marianne

 

We will be on the same voyage in February.

It doesn't appear that there will be many structural changes to the Crown because she isn't in dry dock that long. Probably some carpet replacement and other cosmetic stuff, but I could be wrong so let's see what others in the know have to say.

Mattresses are often installed during regular sailings, not necessarily at dry docks. I have been on many cruises where they have picked up hundreds of mattresses and dropped off hundreds of old mattresses. They often replace them when people are in port for the day.

 

Same with televisions and carpet in state rooms.

The Star and Sapphire have major drydocks scheduled in the next nine months or so. There will probably be some disruption to a cruise or cruises prior to the drydock and I wouldn’t want to be on the first post drydock cruise. Note that the Sapphire was originally scheduled for 21 days but the January 28 cruise has been cancelled to make it 28 days – things change

 

Thank you IECAL Cruiser, this info was very helpful since I will be on the Star twice in 2012, April28 and November20.Sonnenschein:)

I wonder if Princess will provide a video diary of the Star's dry dock like they did for the Grand?
