grandmaa Posted April 17, 2011 #77 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I was able to access Episode 6 on the transformation of the Grand Princess by going to You Tube and in the subject bar typed in "Grand Princess Episode 6" and it came in..it was about 3:05 minutes. Interesting footage of them removing the skywalker bridge. Hope you are as successful as I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livinforcruisin Posted April 19, 2011 #78 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Does anyone know if they are they refurbing any of the state rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted April 19, 2011 #79 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Does anyone know if they are they refurbing any of the state rooms? I would almost swear the answer is no, they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohemian Posted April 20, 2011 #82 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Skywalkers was removed on #6. :confused: Well, not exactly, that was just the travelator - the slanted walkway leading up to Skywalkers, a very small part in the overall scheme of things.

jonikal Posted April 20, 2011 #84 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It was a bit misleading because during the removal of the travelator, the CD specifically said the removal of the actual skywalkers would be shown during next episode the following day.

ONT-CA Posted April 21, 2011 #86 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Are we correct in understanding that the Oceanview Suites being constructed in the previous Casino space of the Grand will have a full picture window? From the opening it appeared that it will be the size of a storefront window. That would be a first and probably a fantastic panavision but we would not give up a balcony for it.

Bohemian Posted April 21, 2011 #87 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I wonder what the delay is with the release of episode #12... I hope they didn't drop Skywalkers into the pool bellow... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissDave Posted April 21, 2011 #89 Share Posted April 21, 2011 They have the pictures up of the removal, but no video as of yet... I do wish they would get a move on and get it loaded, I've been sitting here pressing F5 for the last 2 hours. the pictures look good, and Grand certainly looks different now!

RickEk Posted April 21, 2011 #91 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The stills were pretty incredible... Yes, they were! I wonder what they'll do with it? They should ship it back to California and plop it down atop one of Princess' HQ buildings! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip, I just watched it and noticed the big piece of metal hit the barge when they separated Skywalkers from the ship. Good action... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good action... :D It looks like one of the makeshift railing they put in the windows after the removal of the glass. From the video it also looked like the starboard side dragged a bit - not a clean lift. I agree - overall - good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruzPrincess Posted April 22, 2011 #98 Share Posted April 22, 2011 That was amazing to see them take Skywalkers off. I love getting to watch this drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcrazy Posted April 22, 2011 #99 Share Posted April 22, 2011 That was AMAZING to see skywalkers being lifted off the ship like that. It's a completely different ship now. I am so happy Princess is allowing us to take this journey watching the drydock progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaa Posted April 22, 2011 #100 Share Posted April 22, 2011 The execution and the transformation of the Grand Princess has been amazing. I cannot begin to imagine the hours it has taken the architects and engineers to get this right and to see it accomplished so well. And the workers who are doing all this..wow! We cannot wait to cruise on the "new" Grand Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
