Thomson Majesty Dry-Dock

[Sailaway487]

Nice to see they are dealing with one of the main issues of the ship, and probably really the only one the can actually sort out.

agree on the engines joe...yes newer so probably more efficient...after all the destiny ran on hamsters didnt it:)

 

Imo..if they are covering the san marco and creating more sunbed space above? then they will be solving one problem (lack of buffet table space) and creating another (destiny style al fresco/wind tunnel buffet tables) comes into its own when the weather is good but I dont think it will cut it in the atlantic (canaries)

 

I'm hoping it will be the lido buffet that is being extended?....but they cant cover over half the lido/pool with a sundeck...can they?

 

Wonder when the refit will be finished & what Dock are they using

I think the ship is in Piraeus.

I loved sitting out there too Jakanne. I hope we will still be able to have our lunch on the new deck or will it be all sunbeds?

The new buffet restaurant is found at the back of Thomson Majesty on Deck 10, where Piazza San Marco was. It will be fully enclosed, so it’s a new indoor dining option, and the roof will form the new deck space on Deck 11.

Thanks Mike! I posted that on #23! My point was does deck space mean it will be all sunbeds? We used to enjoy having lunch outside at San Marco.

That was our favourite place to sit in the ship in the daytime, in fact that was the only place we sat outdoors during the day :(

I'm guessing they are going to make the Piazza San Marco an indoor, buffet area now (maybe similar to the Lido Cafe on Destiny?) and then the roof above this will then be used as a new sunbathing area with sun beds.

I thought they weren't adding the balconies on Majesty until the winter?

 

By the looks of this photo, they're already being added:

Are people going to get balconies for the summer without realising they were going to be getting them. :confused:

That would be nice!;) We are booked in a deck 4 inside plus but I won't complain:D

Now that would be very nice! We have booked a suite on Deck nine plus the adjoining outside plus! That would go some way to compensate for the dreadful change of flight times and the possibility of now tendering into Venice!

Just had another look and whilst it does seem like the junior suites 902 - 918, these already had floor to ceiling bay windows so a change to a balcony could I assume be easily achieved, the fact the lifeboats hang at this level would surely defeat the object of adding balconies?

The Majesty has left the dry dock and is currently cruiseing towards Malaga. ETA 11am 11/03/14.

Now i can look forward to my holiday:)

You and me both! Eager to see how it looks after the changes. Not that I really knew how it was before before -but I have looked at lots of photos......:D

Less than 3 weeks now, can't wait!!!!
