Golden in drydock

[snowman]

We are sailing November 8th out of L.A., anyone know what the closet hotel to the port is? Nice hotels please. I am also interested in cabin information...we have booked a mini suite, but I hear on the Golden Princess they are exposed to the cabins above. Is this true?

 

Thanks for any advise, 2X cruiser.

If you go to cc West Coast Depatures you find all the info you need.

From what we learned on board (and experienced first-hand): They have already gutted the wedding chapel over the last week or 10 days. We were located right above it and could hear saws and hammering.

 

 

Anyone know where this chapel will be located too if the casino is going in where the chapel and Desert Rose was?

Now.....drydock reno works have an almost impeccable record of running short of time, with the ship still remaining a ''construction site '' for at least the first post-drydock sailing....So, just beware: guest on the 4 day sailing to Seattle may find themselves surrounded by yellow offlimits tapes, hard hats, materials, etc....as workers finish the job '' on the go''.

Folks on the last pre-drydock cruises ALWAYS run accross the same inconvenience of on site workers getting a head start....:(

 

 

Cheers

:)

 

 

We're on the Golden on June 6th. Any chance they'll still be working on her?

No, May 5th its done, and in this case it looks like they planned well doing many many things and getting them done in record time with a real quality finish judging by the pictures. ;)

 

You should be in for a real treat.

I am on the Golden on May 16 and really looking forward to the changes. Hey if they are still hammering away I will deal with it. They should be done though by that time.

Goldens finally there......

 

 

Will MUTS be in a different place on the Golden than on the Star? It certainly looks like it to me...

Does anyone know if Princess' current deckplans are correct for the Golden's new configuration?

[donscomp]

No they are not.

Would like to know when they will upgrade THEM. :)

Going on Golden the end of June, can't wait to see the changes in person and am very excited about the Wine Bar!

[Colo Cruiser]

I think the Golden will be the first ship that is actually done right the first time. ;)

Based on the Star's new deck plans, it appears the wedding chapel on the Golden might be slightly aft of the new Crown Grill, Starboard side, Deck 7. Although, it's more likely they're putting the new wedding chapel slightly aft of the Youth/Teen Centers, Port side, Deck 15. That room was a conference space and didn't see much activity when we were on the Golden to Alaska almost two years ago. It might depend on where they're putting the new staff training center.

The new Hearts and Minds Wedding Chapel on deck 15 aft will seat 44 guests for romantic wedding ceremonies. When weddings aren’t taking place, the chapel will also serve as a conference room for meetings and events.

Colo, thank you for giving us the final answer. The new placement of the chapel makes perfect sense! Nice job, Princess. :)

I cant wait to see the chapel finished and in person in alittle over 2 months!!

Out enjoying a beatiful Sunday Morning in Victoria and snapped these Pics. Apparently the Golden will be heading out today (or tomorrow??) in preparation for a 4 day out of Vancouver on the 5th. Would love to be aboard!

I wonder when Princess will have the new deck plans available for viewing.

 

any inside baseball out there? I for one am curious how the new deck 15 layout is going to work and where if at all they moved the putting green. the orignial place seems like prime MUTS viewing area and it is on the other ships so....
