@ev98 Thank you for doing the deck by deck comparisons! I’ll be on the Sky in May so I’m very interested in seeing what’s changing. Thanks again!

Tomorrow (February 7) is supposed to be the last day for the Sky's dry dock before it returns to Miami on the 8th. I have found some pictures on Instagram of the ship during the refurbishment as well. These were all earlier in the month so I'm not sure if the Hawaiian flowers have stayed.

Anyone know if the cabins were updated during dry dock?

[Alegeeter]

Awaiting a press release!

The ship is complete and its first sailing is today.

 

Cabins were updated on the Sun, so I hope/imagine they were here too.

NCL's deck plans site now has updated venue descriptions to go along with the actual plans themselves. You will need to pick a deck from the dropdown menu, then expand each venue's title. Here are the ones that I noticed changed.

Note: They still list the Internet Cafe on deck 7 despite the images of the deck plans showing it in Deck 6.

Grab a Teavana® Shaken Iced Green Tea Lemonade to sip while lounging on a pristine Caribbean beach. Or recount the day's excitement with your friends over Chai Lattes and a scone. Come on by Starbucks® to make your vacation even sweeter.

We just got to our stateroom. No update to furniture or carpets, but to my extreme excitement, there are USB charging ports added to the reading lights above the bed! The tv appears new as well, as there is a plastic wrapper (but no remote as yet)...

Few more photos from today in Miami. Some posts have multiple pictures so click the right arrow for more. Looking good!

One more of the Bliss Ultra Lounge entrance. Most of these photos in this post by @lizabethfoxx are identical to the others already posted by @chriscaulfieldcruiseone, just with a desaturated filter. Not sure if the original source is NCL PR material, but I hadn't yet seen this one. Screenshot because it seems to be impossible to embed just the one photo directly.

I watched the sail away yesterday on the Port Miami webcam and can confirm there was no change to the hull art, so at least one reminder of Pride of Aloha remains.
