Crown renovated

[saphir]

I read that the Crown would be renovated in October. What changes will be made?

[Astro Flyer]

We're sailing the Crown the cruise before drydock but have not heard about any major work being done. Since it's a rather brief dry (or wet) dock, it's most likely for a tune up & not any sort of overhaul.

 

We're flying into your city for a couple of pre-cruise days before taking the VIA train for a day in Quebec & looking forward to both cities.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

All cruise ships go into wet dock every 2-3 years for maintenance that can't be done while passengers are onboard. Engines and mechanics are checked and tuned up/fixed, barnacles scraped off, etc. Most of it is not obvious to passengers; kind of like taking your car in for an oil change and to check the brakes, tires, etc. :) Sometimes a bit of refurbishment and soft goods replacement is done. With just a week, it's not going to be major nor design modifications done.

Thank you. Do you the ?

Likely also paint below the water line with paint that helps the ship cruise with more fuel efficiency.

I don't thin any barnacles are scraped off in wet dock.

 

You could have divers do it, but it would be really, really expensive.

Just off the Crown on Monday. It needs a bit of TLC. It could probably use more than just a quick "tune up". We sailed the Golden last year and we could see the difference a refurbishment made compared to the Crown.
