Movies under the Stars on Grand class - any firm dates?

[tomcarson]

Any firm dates on when the Grand, Golden and Star will have Movies Under the Stars? I have heard guesses at dry dock but haven't seen any real information yet.

[TexasRed]

I am curious as well, we are booked on the Grand in December, and I know there is supposed to be a short dry-dock right before that. If anyone has any info please let us know.

I heard it will be completed by late Spring next year on the remainder of the Grand Class ships.:cool: :eek: :cool:

[Jessica&Ben]

The Grand will have Movies Under the Stars starting in October.

So they're adding this to all the Grand Class ships? Would love to have it on the Sapphire when I go next October (2005)!

Maybe we haven’t heard any more about absolute dates because they’ve found it structurally impossible to do. We can hope, anyway.

[dcrichard]

The Grand will have Movies Under the Stars starting in October.

 

Has anyone else heard this date? I will be on the Grand 10/3 - 10/10. My hubby would love to see this.

The Grand is being refurbished prior to the beginning of the Galveston stay. The betting is that the equipment for Movies Under the Stars will be installed at that time.

[TexasRed]

Has there been any news lately about the Grand getting Movies Under the Stars?

[euphscott]

The Grand is reported (via calls to Princess) to be fit for the screen prior to it's Galveston run in dry dock. It will debut in Galveston if all goes well.

 

All the reports I have read (Princess press releases) only The Grand, Golden, and Star will be receiving the upgrade. They have gone to great pains to indicate Diamond and Sapphire will NOT get the retrofit.

 

Plans may have changed, but that has been the stated intention.

[Minnie42]

We will be on the 1st sailing from Galveston on Nov. 8th. I'll post a report when we get back to let you know for sure.

We're with you bdjam! ;-)

I hope they leave some of the fleet free of this. I would much rather they keep the covered pool areas. How many people at a time can really participate in viewing these movies?

I also heard that they show a Tina Turner concert during the day. If this is true whatever happened to being able to relax poolside in the daytime listening to steel drums?

At this stage of my life I don't need Rock Climbing, Ice Skating or Dive in(?)movies.

No I'm not a cranky old lady and yes I do stay up after 10 pm. I'm also not someone who has cruised for many yesrs and yearns the old days. I would just like a stress free low key cruise vacation.
