Post Dry Dock Experience (2017) on the Pacific Princess

If you are currently on or have been on the Pacific Princess since its most recent dry dock, please post your impressions of the ship. Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing too!

We were on the Pacific Princess Dec. 2013 and vowed never again until it was clear that it would be updated.

Thanks. I have seen that info but Princess has not mentioned anything about the tv system which was antiquated compared to the Regal and Royal. There really aren't many updated pictures online. It would be nice to hear from someone on the ship now that the dry dock has been completed.

How many actual days was the DD?

11 days.

11 days.

The link in post #4 says May 20th to June 8th=11days. ???

Thanks. Don't think that is enough time to complete much. IMO

I hope that it all got done.

I looked it up and it said May 29-June 8. I was warned by a Captain not to take the cruise right before or after a dry dock because work will be going on. I wish someone who boarded June 9 would do a "live from"!

They bring in enough people to get it done. We were on the 2017 World cruise and they had already started on the carpeting. The carpet in the public areas was done before we left the ship on May 12th.

The last cruise before drydock was 17 days, L.A. to Ft. Lauderdale and it sailed May 12. So drydock was 11 days.

I'm sure they haven't mentioned everything just the things that will be obvious to passengers. They probably updated some wiring and equipment to support the new Medallion system and I'm hoping they updated the air conditioning system. We had a lot of issues with it. Too cold in some areas and way to warm in others.

I would love to see some pictures also.

We are thinking about a December 22 cruise but I won't until I have confirmation of what was done.

Regarding Club Class Dining:

They have implemented it - very small section of the dining room. I think only about 24 cabins. CD said they can come anytime during dining hours and they are making special dishes for that section only. They order off the main dining room menu, but have specialty dishes too. I believe a tableside pasta dish nightly and some other goodies too. You use the same entrance to the dining room as there is only one!

Today they put new window coverings in buffet seating area and they installed some new seating on the back of the ship. Very comfy - see my pic

The furniture looks very nice. We love the aft outdoor dining area. Our own sailing is just under a year away and we're really looking forward to it.

Looks great! Wonderful improvement. Has the buffer area changed?

Love that aft dining area outside the buffet. It's especially nice to sit out there while in a port, enjoying the views.

The new furniture looks comfy. Can't wait to give it a try in a few months.

Thanks for the photo!

Would love to see some updated pictures.

Here are pictures of library new furniture & new carpet

Great photos. Weird how they left some of the old furniture in the library though.

I don't think those red chairs are new. Some of the other furniture looks old as well.
