JLC@SD Posted February 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2011 http://www.princess.com/news/article.jsp?newsArticleId=na1139 Skywalkers will be removed from its 18th deck perch, with its replacement located on deck 15. This change will significantly improve the operational performance of the ship, including greater fuel efficiency.

BosoxI Posted February 11, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I just hope they haven't started disassembling Skywalkers yet. It may not be fuel efficient, but it sure is a great place to sit and have a nip or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David&Heather Posted February 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Got an e-mail from Princess today with the same artists impression of the ship post rebuild. Good to see that the covered pool is still there as there was some speculation about the cover being removed. I think the ship looks more elegant without the shopping cart handle, I am sure that opinions will differ over this very large visual change in the ships profile. End result is a ship that looks as elegant as it's newer and bigger sisters but without the extra passenger deck - will be looking at booking another cruise on her to see all the upgrades. Only sad thing for us is that the wedding chapel is being relocated which means the place that we were married will be no more but we still have the memorioes, photographs and video.

bjkTX Posted February 11, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 11, 2011 We are going to assist in the renovation effort. We get on the Grand on Monday for two weeks and we plan to drink up all the alcohol and eat all the food to clear way for work to begin! It's the least we can do.

hightownCO Posted February 11, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I wish the Travel Channel (who doesn't seem to do travel stories anymore) would do a show on the drydock. They did one when RCCL Soveriegn of the Seas was redone and this will be much more extensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please leave at least one beer for sail away on the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
