Is Odyssey getting some work done?

[Qld13]

Hi

 

I have been tracking Odyssey and noticed she has been in Genova since 12 May. Is she in for some work? If so does anyone know what is being done?

[kowhairob]

Just checked ***** and it seems that they are in Dry dock . Interesting !

[galeforce9]

Preparing for the Monaco Grand Prix takeover perhaps? 

[Tillylovesseabourn]

Gale, of course. Yes the Ody is taken by Ferrari for the GP every year, so should be heading for Monte Carlo soon.

[lincslady]

And she leaves Monte Carlo next Monday on a regular cruise, so I think that pretty much proves it! 

[Qld13]

Hi

 

Yes have also found out she has been chartered for the Grand Prix, didn’t know it was Ferrari.

 

Thanks for replies

[Tillylovesseabourn]

Qld, yes they take her every year, or at least have done since the triplets retired.

All: I just saw pictures (posted on FB) where the Odyssey appears to be in dry dock. Now, it could be that the pictures are Photoshopped, but if not, then it counters the charter assumption. Does anyone really know? Jdk

It's chartered for the Monaco GP every year. Would be unusual if it isn't this year...

[florisdekort]

To my knowledge it’s both.  Dry dock followed by the Ferrari charter.  The dry dock is just mechanical, no changes for guests. 

[lincslady]

If you look on Cruisemapper  ( a very useful tool, IMO)  you will see that she is already docked in Monte Carlo.

I have seen what occurs when it is taken over for the GP, several days of setup and takedown, they take over the entire ship and setup a lot on the pool deck and other places.  And yes Mr. Ferrari  charters it every year since the demise of the little sisters, which he used to charter one of - not sure which think It might have been the Legend, but  I COULD BE WRONG on that.. 

[Tillylovesseabourn]

2Sailing, you are correct. It was the Legend they used to take.

[lincslady]

Lots of 'traffic' in Monaco today - in dock are Odyssey and SeaDream 2;  anchored off, for two days, will be  Silver Shadow, Star Pride and Azamara Journey.

Just watched a replay of yesterday's GP practice. As ever, it's good to get a glimpse of Odyssey there in the harbour.

[bradtarga34]

Has anyone been onboard after the dry dock to confirm if anything was done onboard the ship as I would have thought any trip to dry dock they would try and do as much as possible and over a week they could do a surprising amount of work?

[M&PGermany]

Dear all, Odyssey has indeed had some work done to the public areas in dry dock. We just got off the ship in Civi aka Rome. First of all, the ship looks completely new again from the outside - as white as on the first day. Inside the staterooms, new white marble furnishings were installed on the shelf facing the bed, inside the showers as well as the addition of automatic night lights under the nightstands, which were new as well. Also inside the hallways a lot of wooden walls were renovated, etc etc... so indeed they are trying to keep her in shape... what a lovely ship she is...

[Tillylovesseabourn]

M&P, good to know, Ody is my favourite,so will be nice to see her looking great this summer!

[frantic36]

Thanks for the update M & P regarding the work done and the champagne. Looking forward to checking both out this Summer also.

Hi

 

We are on Odyssey in 3 weeks, great to know she has been spruced up for us!! As a matter of interest Encore has been in Palermo for 10 days and on vesselfinder was actually shown as being on land, she has just got back into the water now and back into it. we are also on her at the end of July so maybe she had a spruce up as well. Interested to know what she had done if anyone knows

[patnlcc]

We were on the Encore last month. Hubby had a nosebleed in the suite which unfortunately stained the carpet. Our stewardess told us not to worry as part of the refresh was to be new carpets in the suites. I don't know what else is being done.

Has the Odyssey had the USB sockets installed at each side of the bed?

[M&PGermany]

@Daneite

 

Yes, USB outlets now on both sides of the bed (if I remember correctly 2 each)...

There was a dent at the stern which was being sorted
