bluesea777 Posted November 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2016 We were told that the CEO of NCL doesn't want colour red in any of the NCL ships! Jade presently has a LOT of red décor ... this will disappear for sure during the March 2017 dry dock. One morning last week I was up early (we had 4 consecutive 25 hour days!) I went all over the ship taking pictures - pre-dry dock - so will keep them until someone else submits the post-dry dock pics and I'll insert the before ones.

Isabella Benjamin Posted November 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I can totally appreciate this, I don't have anything red in my house other than a few red shirts in my closet. One of my daughters gave me a red candle for a gift and I kept moving it around further and further back in the house. After it ended up in hall by the garage door, I finally just handed it over to my other daughter. She LOVES red! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted November 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) I'm sure we'll see lots and lots of red on the Joy, despite more neutral colors on other ships. Edited November 13, 2016 by BirdTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcwingwalker Posted November 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2016 A little red is good! Just off the Dawn repo yesterday and cannot recall red, if there was some I might have missed it. IMO the effect overall is that the Dawn visually is blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted November 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2016 If that's the mandate then the Epic will have to have over 50% of her decor redone as there is red, or red tones in most of the public venues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I have a hard time believing that Mr Stuart (CEO of Norwegian) would make such statement publically. The is red on every ship I have sailed which is over half of the fleet. Now, will The Jade lose a little of Her Hawaiian flavor- that "might be" possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The is red on every ship I have sailed which is over half of the fleet. Now, will The Jade lose a little of Her Hawaiian flavor- that "might be" possible. I'm sure the OP was referring to Mr Del Rio. I don't know if he made this statement about red, but I have read before that he was pretty involved in the design and decor planning so that the end result wold fit his "vision". Personally, I'm glad they don't resemble a Carnival ship, (do they still look like a circus?) but sometimes they could use just a touch more color and be geared a little more toward comfort and less on a stark modern look. Maybe someday someone will come up with a cabin couch that's actually possible to sit comfortably on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not little, but pretty much all .... :eek::eek: We mentioned to the person we were chatting with that we were on post-dry dock Pride of America which had lost most of the Hawaiian theme and it was nice to be back on the Jade (which used to be Pride of Hawaii) to see the Hawaiian décor one more time before it's all lost.

LOL. I agree. We found our mini-suite on Escape a bit dark - maroon couch and darker carpet - ugh. I prefer lighter and brighter colours like the BA cabin colours.

Rare www3traveler Posted November 13, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Does anyone know when, where and for how long The Jade is scheduled to be in dry dock. If it is a two week dry dock, there will not be time for a lot of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you. From the few photos I've seen so far of Dawn's pool deck lots of the typical blue was replaced with white and some brown accents. That reads a little too sterile to me. I liked Epic post refurbishment a lot, and I liked Star, too. Both had some rich tones. Sent from my SM-G930T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwsster Posted November 13, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Funny I was on the POA in May and I thought the beige and browns and some blues on the decks were very blah and not very inviting, more like a Hotel poolside, no frills in my opinion. This is a cruise where most people spend very little time on the ship, maybe that is the reason. A little color is nice. I'm with you.

Sotermarler Posted November 13, 2016 #24 Share Posted November 13, 2016 On the Jade now waiting for sail away. We have only been on the Escape and GA previously, so to us the Jade is pretty hideous in comparison. The newer ships are more spa-like.
