I truly am...here and on FB....I did see the pictures you posted first tonight. I will enjoy the Journey even more in August. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverine Posted January 21, 2016 #352 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Wow, thanks for all the amazing pictures. It's truly unique to be able to watch the progress of a major cruise ship "reimagination". My excitement is rising high, can hardly wait to board this ship in March and see everything personally.

Westaussie Posted January 21, 2016 #353 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Another thank you Andy from 'down under' we appreciate all you do here and for starting this thread it's wonderful to see all the work going on! Sadly, I have 60 weeks till I enjoy the finished product. Look forward to seeing your photos and have a great cruise - Vera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted January 21, 2016 #354 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yesterday, Captain Johannes posted a picture with the caption "28 Cooks making sure 1500 contractors and crew are well fed every day" That was what I was looking at too.

Grandma Gilly Posted January 21, 2016 #355 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Andy. A really big thank you from me too. I am so enjoying this thread. Only problem is that I'm getting 'Journey Envy'!!! Next cruise with Azamara isn't until Feb 2017 so I may have to sneak one in before then. Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted January 21, 2016 #356 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If that's true, than the 400/600 number I quoted from page 1 of this thread is incorrect. Either way, it's a lot of people, doing a lot of work.... I understand that they have increased the number of contractors from that originally planned.

Zimbo Posted January 21, 2016 #357 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Andy, thanks for posting all these photos in one place. Some additional info from Johannes, for those interested in the scale of the undertaking: - 14 day project - 4,000+ line tasks are being managed in order to monitor project progress - 11,000 person-hours work per day average, not including the input of the crew of 521 onboard And an in-progress photo of CC Suite with bathtub, which I don't think has been posted yet...

TalaTraveller Posted January 21, 2016 #358 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi Andy Thanks for posting this thread on the Journey, it will be great once finished. We are on the Quest in 3 weeks time and look forward to seeing the refurbishment in December when we sail on her again. Thank you for all your efforts and for the team effort on the ship, it must be a logistical nightmare but seems to be going very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

factor30 Posted January 21, 2016 #363 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Continued thanks to you Andy for devoting a large chunk of your valuable time to the CC community. It's so greatly appreciated. As already mentioned, we'll be joining you in 5 days (!!) when we can thank you in person. Each morning I eagerly go to the PC to see the latest news and pictures. Can't take it all in and believe it'll all be complete by the time we board. Incidentally, I've just found the photo album (I did that sort of thing in 2009) from our first Azamara cruise on the Quest in Nov 2009 about 3 weeks after she was launched by Azamara Cruises. Talk about nostalgia. It was to the Caribbean and would you believe it - the itinerary included Virgin Gorda, Dominica, St Barts, and USVI. It'll be fascinating comparing photos of the ship 'then and now'. All very exciting. Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Jackie for your good wishes. Haven't we crossed paths on board in the past? Or am I getting confused with advancing years?

Robb Posted January 21, 2016 #371 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Wow! Just overwhelmed with the changes. I have not been following this thread from the start, just started today and have paged thru and read everything. Wow! It will be interesting to see the completed changes. We will be on the un-refitted Quest in a few weeks and then on the completed Journey this fall. That way I will have a clear before and after view. Looking forward to two great cruises. Hope the pictures continue. Thanks to all involved in the postings. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
