AltaJoe Posted May 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2004 She's about to come out of drydock. Anyone have any updates on how the refurbishment is progressing? Pacific Princess Oct.

lightninglenny3 Posted May 2, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Haven't seen anything noteworthy. We'll be sailing on her on June 26th. RCI hasn't even posted the "new pictures" yet. We've sailed on Nordic Empress 3 times in the past 5 years so it will be a shock not having things the way we are used to seeing them. We have a friend that is going out on the "Empress of the Seas" at the end of the week so if I get email from her I will surely pass it on.

Cappy1012 Posted May 3, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Does anyone know will there be a renaming ceremony? Where was she drydocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDeagazio Posted May 3, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2004 The Empress is still in drydock in Freeport, Bahamas. I received a few emails from crew friends onboard, and they're all about to quit-- they say it's the worst job they've ever had-- I'll have some pics soon.. but from the sound of it, there's still a TON of work to be done... It'll be amazing to see if it all gets completed prior to the first Bermuda cruise-- I would hope RCI learned a lesson from when the Monarch went through her major refurb. I guess only time will tell... I'll post pics as soon as I have them.
