Royal Caribbean is planning a spending spree to upgrade its fleet of cruise ships over the next three years to help keeps its older ships competitive in the cruise market.

 

This $300 million revitalization called "Royal Advantage", will allow most of its Vision, Voyager and Radiance class vessels to get a series of upgrades including

 

Restaurants from Oasis Class of ships

Chops Grille steakhouse

Rita's Cantina Mexican restaurants

Izumi Restaurant (sushi)

Chops Grille (Steak house)

Park Café (sandwiches and salads)

Boardwalk Doghouse (brats and wieners)

New cabin designs

Royal Babies and Tots Nursery

Wi-fi throughout ship

Digital Wayfinding Systems

Oversized LED video screens on pool decks

There's more planned but no details are available quite yet. These changes sound quite similar to the changes that have already been made to ships such as Radiance of the Seas mostly recently.

 

These overhauls will require each ship to enter into a lengthy drydock process where the ship will get its upgrades. The schedule of upgrades are as follows

 

Splendour of the Seas - November 2011

Rhapsody of the Seas - March 2012

Grandeur of the Seas - May 2012

Serenade of the Seas - November 2012

Legend of the Seas - 2013 or 2014

Vision of the Seas - 2013 or 2014

Navigator of the Seas - 2013 or 2014

Voyager of the Seas - 2013 or 2014

Explorer of the Seas - 2013 or 2014

Adventure of the Seas - 2013 or 2014

Brilliance of the Seas - 2013 or 2014

We know that the overhaul for Splendour, Grandeur and Serenade of the Seas will take place in Cadiz, Spain after Royal Caribbean signed a deal to have those ships rehauled there last month.

 

Royal Caribbean also mentioned that Independence of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas and Enchantment of the Seas will receive smaller, less significant upgrades.

 

Royal Caribbean CEO Adam Goldstein is excited about the changes that will help keep the cruise line competitive, "The Royal Advantage revitalizations takes many of the best features that we have created in recent years and introduces them across our fleet, offering our guests enhanced vacation choices around the world."

Last Refurbished: May 2006

Thanks maybe I will wait until next year! Thought she had a CL

If 2006 was the last, we were on her after that. Splendour is a great ship. Itinerary and price are my two primary considerations in picking a cruise. I would not turn down an itinerary I liked just because Splendour was the ship -- frankly, I think Splendour compares well to the Radiance class ships, especially if you are one of those glass lovers. Just a bit smaller. We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Splendour.
