Cruise ship dry dock renovations have always fascinated me. Can you imagine making major improvements to a ship under tight time restrictions? It's astounding what these craftsmen and engineers can do.This May, more than 400 technicians from around the world will converge at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Germany. Their one and only goal is to work around the clock for 14 days on Crystal Cruises' Serenity.
Crystal is spending $25-million to redesign 531 deluxe staterooms, penthouses, and penthouse suites; the shops; and pool deck.
Let's delve a bit deeper into the upgrades. Stateroom changes include floor-to-ceiling tufted headboards, bedside cabinets, wallpaper, sofas, curtains, pillows, carpet, and lighting. I love the new electronic "do not disturb" and doorbell system.
The shops, Facets jewelry store and Apropos boutique, will get a facelift and will now offer Christian Dior cosmetic/skincare area.
The pool deck will get a similar treatment as Crystal Symphony's recent upgrade.
All corridors will be updated with new carpeting, artwork, and lighting. Likewise, new lighting will be installed in the Crystal Dining Room and all stateroom verandahs will get new furniture.
There's a lot to look forward to when it comes to these upgrades. I'm looking forward to seeing photos of the ship once the dry dock upgrades are completed on May 22.
