Seabreeze8 Posted January 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hello, Does anyone know when the Diamond Princess was dry docked last time or when will it be dry docked? Also what are the changes? We love the International Cafe on the Crown and would love to have it on the Diamond when we sail for Alaska in the fall. Thank you!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green.herbs Posted January 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2009 The next time that the Diamond Princess goes into drydock in in November 2010 as far as I know, it will be getting a major refit receiving the sanctuary, movies under the stars, vines, the piazza, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passin Thru Posted May 17, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Gonna be hard to get it in Drydock. It's schedulde for a Bangkok-Beijing-Bangkok tour @ 16 days each ending Dec 5. Any new scoops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted May 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2010 It's be nice if she were to get the upgrades before we cruise on her in January 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain48 Posted May 17, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Looks like Diamond will be in drydock from October 20th to November 3rd. There appears to be a gap in her programme then.

captainron Posted May 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hello,Does anyone know when the Diamond Princess was dry docked last time or when will it be dry docked? Also what are the changes? We love the International Cafe on the Crown and would love to have it on the Diamond when we sail for Alaska in the fall. Thank you!:) We're on her 4 Sep 10 (WTT/YVR) and she won't have anything done by then. She does another WTT/YVR/WTT after ours and then for her trip off to Beijing, so the fall doesn't seem practical at all. Will certainly miss the fresh bakeed choc chip cookies at the Int'l Cafe. Ciao for now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted May 17, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You are so right about the cookies, Captain Ron. That was one of the daily delights on the Star and the Golden. If the upgrades have not been done before January, we'll be really missing them ...... warm, freshly baked, cookies ........ YUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapchick Posted May 18, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2010 We're going to be on the cruise right before drydock and I'm nervous about that, having read some nasty stories about ships headed for drydock in the past. I've read of Princess ships literally having carpets ripped up, furniture carted away, pools drained, while still at sea and chock full of passengers.... Sure hope that doesn't happen on our trip....

kath00 Posted May 19, 2010 #15 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Where is the drydock located at? It looks like she's in the Far East that whole Fall. Will they do the drydock there??? Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted May 19, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 19, 2010 She and the Sapphire were built in Japan so she may well be drydocked in Asia but Princess has been known to change their minds on this to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulamoon Posted June 17, 2010 #19 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Aloha Everyone, Is there a new deck plan for cruises booked after the drydock? Will the cabins change? I appreciate any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted June 17, 2010 #20 Share Posted June 17, 2010 She will be dry-docked in Singapore in the fall. I don't believe they will be making any cabin changes, just refurbishing and some rearrangement of public spaces. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie333 Posted June 17, 2010 #21 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Anyone know if they are giving her the typical treatment (please please give me International Cafe!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted June 17, 2010 #22 Share Posted June 17, 2010 She will be dry-docked in Singapore in the fall. I don't believe they will be making any cabin changes, just refurbishing and some rearrangement of public spaces. EM My guess is they will add the Crown Grill possibly where the hughe internet cafe currently occupies. They will also porbably add MUTS, the international cafe and Vines. Vines will go somewhere where the scholarship at sea area or the captains's circle area currently occupies.....:):):)| Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
