Last Cruise before Refurbishment

[pthjudy]

We are thinking about booking Marina in October which happens to be the last cruise before refurbishment. I am a bit wary of what services might be impacted. Has anyone been on an Oceania Cruise right before she got her makeover? Did you notice any differences? Thanks.

Cruised Marina NYC to Lisbon in May 2016 before the last refurbishing.  No problems at all.  Crew of about 200 workers were at the dock in Lisbon, started loading new materials and tearing apart the carpeting, etc. as the last passengers were leaving.  Ship then sailed to Cadiz, Spain for the drydock.  The refurbished Marina came back to Lisbon 10 days later (without passengers).  We and a few other couples had stayed in Lisbon for the 10 days, re-boarded Marina, then sailed Lisbon to London with nice new furnishings.
