salty56 Posted November 4, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Has anyone any idea of what was changed on the Diamond in drydock. The silence from princess is amazing, maybe they are a little embarrased at what they haven't done. They are creating two different types of vessels in the one class, the haves and the have nots.

It's pretty well-known what they are doing; and I'm not sure what you mean by "haves and have nots." There have been several threads about the Diamond's dry dock.

It's not like they're putting in a Cunard Grill class - or are you referring to the Sanctuary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty56 Posted November 4, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The haves are the ships that are fitted with all the latest upgrades eg, Vines, IC, MUTS and sanctuary etc. The have nots are exactly that, the ones who are not getting all the upgrades only some. It's a very old expression. I've read all the posts re the upgrade and there isn't one that knows definately whats going on. If you know please let us all know.

hollon Posted November 4, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 4, 2010 do you have to pay for a spot in the sanctuary, exactly what is it? I noticed from pics, its lounge chairs maybe by a pool? is it worth the extra charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yukongold Posted November 4, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 4, 2010 do you have to pay for a spot in the sanctuary, exactly what is it? I noticed from pics, its lounge chairs maybe by a pool? is it worth the extra charge? Charge is $10 for a half day, $20 for a full day. It is a place to get away from the have-nots.;) It offers peace and quiet in a more serene setting than a lounge next to MUTS. For a sea day a lot of people (the haves:)) enjoy it.

Hunter22a Posted November 4, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 4, 2010 MUTS and the Sanctuary. No IC or Vines. A major facelift with carpets, bedding and paint. You can see the new deck plans if you go to the Princess web site and look in the 2011 Alaska sailing brochure. We sail her on the 19th out of Beijing. I was hoping to see a posting from someone that just got on her in Singapore for a full update but so far there have been no postings on here. Hope this helps.

Or $15 per day if you book the Sanctuary for the entire length of the cruise (which is what we usually do when possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess most Princess ships will always remain among the "have nots" then. The IC is nice but not a deal-breaker and I can certainly live without Vines and MUTS and never notice they're not there. I'd much rather ships have enclosed, weather-protected pool areas, dedicated movie theaters, the Adagio Lounge, etc., which are MY "haves". Good thing there are choices.

Rare karatemom2 Posted November 4, 2010 #12 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I love the Diamond just the way she is! The IC Is nice, but certainly not a deal breaker for me either. I would be happy to sail on the Diamond anytime and certainly could never imagine feeling like a "have not" on such a beautiful ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passin Thru Posted November 5, 2010 #13 Share Posted November 5, 2010 They did put in the $20 /day Sanctuary but I'm not paying for it. They put in MUTS to make noise all day so you'll pay for quiet? I'll show them. Ear plugs are 50 cents a pair. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to MUTS on the Diamond (it'll be my third voyage on the Diamond when we board in January) and am more than willing to pay the $180 each that it'll cost us for the sanctuary for the 12 days from Sydney to Auckland.

Coracii Posted November 5, 2010 #16 Share Posted November 5, 2010 She is on the move again.... And in just about 70 days or so I'll be boarding the Diamond again to enjoy the upgrades (even if she didn't get everything I was hoping for)...
