Zenith updates and refurbish?

[Luvtotrav]

I have heard talk of a workover this month on the Zenith, can anyone tell me if this is true?

 

Also, any recent cruisers on this ship? What did you think of her?

Zenith is currently in drydock (since 10/23) and scheduled to resume cruising on 11/5/05 (this coming Saturday). I will be on her for the first sailing out of drydock and will be reporting back when we come home as to what has changed.

 

Stay tuned :)

Hi

 

We are going on this ship in Jan.

 

Could you please get copies of the menus and post them on here? Or maybe email them to me at rkemp66@yahoo.com?

 

Very very greatly appreciated!!!!!!!1:)

Luckyroot, I don't know if we can wait until you get back. Can you spare a $100 or so to post while you are onboard??? :D

 

Just kidding... I do look forward to your report.

I'm also very much looking forward to your report...Mom & I are sailing to Bermuda on Zenith next May. We just bought out plane tickets to Newark today, in fact. We very much enjoyed Horizon, and think a spruced up Zenith sounds like a fabulous way to do Bermuda.

I just booked the Zenith for Jan 2006 for daughters college break, along with two other mothers and daughters. Did you see the prices???? A rock bottom 250 (that's about 280 with taxes etc.) for 5 nights. It's much cheaper than feeding her at home :)

Hello all,

 

My wife & I were on Zenith last month--7-day Bermuda cruise out of Bayonne, NJ (October 1-8). The ship seemed in immaculate condition; I didn't notice anything that needed obvious "repair" or restoration. Crew members seemed to be working diligently to keep her spanking-clean & ship-ship: vacuuming & polishing inside, painting & varnishing outside, but not getting in anyone's way while doing this. I assume that this drydock is mainly for general nautical/mechanical maintenance.

 

BTW, the food was excellent (the Michel Roux menu did live up to all the hype!), the service outstanding (both in the dining room & by our cabin attendant), and our stateroom (4018) was more than adequate, with ample space for two. All in all, we found Zenith to be a very friendly, comfortable, & (for the most part) elegant ship. We prefer her to the megaships.

 

(And the trip was smooth, both to & from Bermuda!)

 

Happy sailing!
