ggprincess2004 Posted April 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Grand is in drydock getting a very major redo. She will have most of the venues that the Crown has (and one or two that Crown does not have), one less deck of passenger cabins, and Skywalker's is being removed and being replaced with an aft lounge on deck 15 very much like the Skywalker's on the Emerald and Ruby. When she comes out of drydock, comparing the age of the Grand v. the Crown is not going to have much meaning in terms of Grand being the older of the two. We have sailed both of these ladies a few times, and frankly, I would let the itinerary dictate your choice between the two, given the changes taking place on the Grand right now.

kywildcatfanone Posted April 11, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Another difference is the Grand has a pool area that is covered, or can be covered with a dome, and the Crown/Emerald/Ruby do not. That also made them install MUTS on the forward pool of the Grand, whereas it is on the middle pool of the Crown/Emerald/Ruby. Not a major difference overall, but it is a difference. Does anyone know of the dry dock will affect the covered pool and/or the location of MUTS on the Grand? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeagle Posted April 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Unless it gets changed, the library on the Grand was better. The Crown has a nicer internet cafe. Also, on the Grand, no restrooms by the traditional dining room. Fewer passengers on the Grand but you really don't notice the difference between either ship. The Crown did not seem crowded when we were on it during spring break when it was full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted April 12, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Also, the Crown has the Adagio Lounge (a great place to relax) on deck 16 next to Sabatini's specialty restaurant. No Adagio on the Crown and Sabatini's is on deck 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJRonbo Posted April 12, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What have they done with Skywalkers? Is it just roped off, removed, being used for other purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted April 12, 2011 #9 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What have they done with Skywalkers? Is it just roped off, removed, being used for other purpose? Skywalker's on the Grand, as we speak, is being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pia1913 Posted April 12, 2011 #11 Share Posted April 12, 2011 No Adagio on the Grand and Sabatini's is on deck 7. Sabatini's was always on deck 7 on the Grand, Golden and Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
