Elua Posted April 20, 2009 #28 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It's very strange for Leialoha and myself to see these pics, as we've just come off the Golden after almost seven months. We're very much looking forward to being back on her for next Hawaii season with all the new amenities. Especially internet in the cabins for crew!!!

h3rjp Posted April 20, 2009 #29 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Great pictures. Can anyone remember a documentary from a few years ago where they were refitting a royal carribean ship? I wish princess would get a film crew on board to follow the progress of this kind of refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted April 20, 2009 #32 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Sandytoes ....thanks for the link, interesting to see the work to change the Golden to resemble the inside of the Ruby etc ..having been on the Ruby. In the 2nd video below there are pics of Ruby being built. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grego Posted April 20, 2009 #34 Share Posted April 20, 2009 This is so cool. Almost as cool as watching as the ship is being built. What is amazing is the logistics to do all of this in as little time possible - if she ain't floating so ain't generating capital. I don't know if they posted drydock photos of the CB or not. Guess I'll search that out. In the meantime I'll consider some of these photos as representation of what the CB went through as some of her areas were re-organized.

North2Alaska Posted April 20, 2009 #38 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It's great to see all the changes being made. We'll be sailing on the Golden June 6th. Does anyone know if it's very likely they'll still be finishing up? Thanks! Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to LOVE IT!!!!! It is nice sailing after the retrofit. We did the Star just after she was updated. Note though that it is not like the Ruby/Crown and Emerald. There is no Cafe Caribe. International Cafe has no gelato and no chocolate fondue, candy apples (no biggie) MUTS doesn't have as good viewing areas as it does on ships built with MUTS, plus sound transfers to front lotus spa area and Sancturay (doesn't on bigger ships) Vines has different set up, fewer places to sit. There is a Vines Store on the Star/Golden/CB Not as much sitting area in the Piazza as on larger ships Positives about the Golden/Star/CB/Grand their Vista lounge is better - found Vista lounge on Emerald wasn't always able to accommodate everyone because of the table/chair set up. Smaller and more intimate. Less crowds Easier to get around on the top decks, Emerald/Crown etc you can only get to aft of ship on one side on the sun decks.

Sandytoes Posted April 21, 2009 Author #47 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I for one am glad Princess posted photos of the "work in progress" on the Golden. Very interesting to see. I hope Princess posts more photos until the transformation is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a906377 Posted April 21, 2009 #48 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We were on the Golden last year and I thought the ship looked a little worn. Glad to see there is such a major overhaul underway. Great pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
