Jewel dry dock question

[Dave4120]

We will cruising on the Jewel a week after its back from its dry dock at the end of April.

 

Obviously I understand that many refurbishments will take place, however, does a normal dry dock include new room revisions such as new bedding, carpet, TV and bathroom things? I also wonder if they clean good and spruce up the balcony.

 

Just curious...Thanks for anyone's knowledge.

It seems they replace things like carpeting and draperies as needed.

 

Any CRT type TV will be replaced with a flat screen.

 

Bathrooms usually get new sinks and cabinetry.

Thanks for the information. It doesn't matter to us either way, but seemed a bit exciting to know that we would be one of the first to be on a ship that will look, feel and smell fresh and like new

"As needed" is the key....if the furnishings aren't in disrepair, they won't be changed. So, don't get too excited about a "new" cabin!!

Or the hard mattresses they seem to be putting in.

Very insightful information. I will let everyone know what improvements we discover.

Let us know if they take out the fabulous glass staircase between decks 4 and 5. :( I have read varying reports.

I sure will. Just bought a new 4K HD video camera to video a ton of highlights. Now, it's trying to figure out how to operate the darn thing as I think it's more than just pressing a button. Lol

How long is the ship typically in dry dock? Thanks!

It varies, it depends on what they want to do. Could be a few days to a month.

Bedding on Jewel was replaced last Nov/Dec.

Just got off the Allure. The mattress already had a pillow type topper (not egg crate). I guess they're listening to the complaints.

Since it appears that they are not adding an R Bar or aerial show, I think there might be a good chance that the staircase may stay.

Well if so, that's great. I really think it adds to the ambiance of the Centrum, plus it's a fabulous photo opportunity, and just a great way to get between decks instead of going all the way around. :)

I agree. I love the staircase. Not a big deal if it goes, but I'll have to find a new place for my formal photo.
