We'll be interested in knowing about the noticeable changes after her dry dock and what works and doesn't.

Yes what was done to the ship. Are there things done that you don't like? Things you

really like? Thanks.

Enjoy your cruise across the Pond! Bon Voyage!

Ok here we go.......

All new carpets in corridors. New over size TV in stateroom, not interactive but you can connect your music via Bluetooth. Pizza bar is now slice, burger bar is now salty dog, and ice cream is coffee and cones. All new external carpeting but lots not finished. Towards the aft is not complete, outside decks are quite dirty. All pools empty, I'm sure it will all work out. Haven't seen much else, now waiting for muster.

Wondering if the menu items from the Trident Grill will be offered for no charge at the "new" Salty Dog. Please let us know. Sad to think there will be no poolside hot dogs and burgers, knockwurst and fries and sometimes onion rings. IMO, those items were actually good.

Bon Voyage. Have a great cruise.

When the Caribbean Princess' Trident Grill was changed to the Salty Dog everything offered there was no charge including dogs and burgers with various toppings, chicken, tacos, loaded fries. One item, The Ernesto Burgers, had an upcharge of $5 or $8 for the burger & beer.

I would think it is the same on the Crown.

Have a great 🚢 Cruise!

According to our cabin steward, the only new thing that would be changed in the cabins was carpet. The mattresses and linens have already been changed.

 

When I asked the HC buffet maitre d' about whether they would replace all of the buffet area furniture, he didn't know. I'm hoping it's replaced because it's pretty soiled and the chairs with arms are pretty uncomfortable. OP, if you get a chance, will you check it out?

Salty dog menu is the same

 

 

 

Does that mean different to the one being offered on the Crown, as described by the OP? Thanks for the info tho as we are on her for the first time later in the year,

Menu is same stuff, may change, the shop isn't really ready for passengers, outside decks are very dirty, all railings covered in grime. All pools closed.

Captain has given everyone on board a complementry drink in the dining room tonight due to late sailing etc

[pascalburns]

when is the ship schedule to depart fort lauderdale?

[paradiselivin1]

Have a great cruise and please continue the updates. Not sure when you suggest that aft is unfinished ~ inside the cabins or outside?? We have an aft cabin in early June and hope all will have been done. Enjoy!

[Lucky TGO]

Is there a expiration date on the back of the coffee cards?

Bon voyage! Hope that you have a smooth crossing.

[Mo Jito]

Yay, Coffee & Cones! We loved the ice cream cookie sandwiches on CB, and I can now look forward to enjoying one on my upcoming Crown cruise.

It surprises me that the dry dock only lasted one week. We were on the sailing just prior to it, and the ship looked like it was in need of more than could possibly have been done in a week's time.

We were on it in January and agree that it needed more than a week. It was looking a bit tired. Didn't affect our cruise of course.

Not surprised to hear that it's not done, the ship needed some major TLC.

 

Bon Voyage, hope you have a great sailing with calm seas and lots of sunshine!!
