tennisobo Posted September 6, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Since the fire on the Star, Princess has been gradually replacing the plastic balcony furniture with furniture made of some sort of mesh. In the most recent Regal review, a CC official reviewer stated that Regal would get the new furniture in October 2006. Is there a schedule we can access somewhere that tells when the other Princess ships will get the new furniture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendon Posted September 7, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The new furniture looks so much nicer than the resin stuff. Just off the CB and the white resin always looks dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted September 7, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2006 They switched out our balcony furniture on the Caribbean princess just the day prior to us disembarking the ship, August 22. They had to ask to use our cabin as the cabin door had to be removed so they could fit the new chairs through. The did the change out of all the cabins in our 'row' through our cabin. Not sure if there is any schedule, but I do know they are working on it, slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandytoes Posted September 7, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Our balcony on the Crown was outfitted with two metal chairs and a metal table. It did not get hot from the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroozBlooz Posted September 7, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Is the stuff comfortable? We're on the Star next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted September 7, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Let's just say it isn't any worse than the plastic chairs that were out there to begin with. ;) Keep in mind, they weren't out to change the comfort level, just the combustible level of the balcony furniture.

KennyC Posted September 7, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Anyone know if the Diamond will have it by the 23rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted September 8, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Unless some that works in the refurbishment or provisioning department for Princess posts here which I think is unlikely, it will be up in the air when each ship or area of ship gets its upgrade.

Sandytoes Posted September 8, 2006 #11 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I have to say it was comfortable. At first, I thought - "what were they thinking" - metal in the hot Caribbean sun???....Then, when we sat in them we realized not bad.... We use our balcony a lot. Morning - sailing into ports, relaxing a bit before dinner, then at night to see the stars....I can't complain about the furniture at all. I just wished the balcony was a bit bigger with loungers and an automatic drink dispenser. :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeachCruisers897 Posted September 8, 2006 #12 Share Posted September 8, 2006 So I will selfishly ask if anyone can report on the balcony furniture on the STAR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paka Posted September 8, 2006 #14 Share Posted September 8, 2006 We go on Island Princess to Hawaii, October 6th. Does anyone know if they have the new balcony furniture? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp20 Posted September 8, 2006 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2006 These “metal chairs”, no other description available. Would these be the brushed Aluminum chairs that resembles a common kitchen chair but is extremely light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
