bigmjh Posted January 15, 2016 #76 Share Posted January 15, 2016 They appear to be reupholstering circular still tops (foreground) ... possibly the stools for the slot machines. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the video area looks blank just click on it: Phil We've been checking out the photos each day and notice that my white cabana is still there on the pool deck. Not quite what I imagined it to look like though! Joking apart, a big thank you to all concerned for the photos and video. A fascinating and wonderful insight into Journey's transformation. She gonna look great! Can't believe it'll all be ready in 12 days when we board. It will, won't it? Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excitedofharpenden Posted January 15, 2016 #80 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In one photo I see them taking a saw to the teak deck and in another I see a big pile of fire wood. Why is the wood being removed? Was it in poor condition or is it a safety measure to get rid of flammable material??? The teak decking was weathered, some places more than others. I'm not sure if any of the teak will be back or if they will substitute it for a more modern look. The rendering of the Pool Grill shows a different type of flooring that I think looks very sleek.

Hoyaheel Posted January 15, 2016 #81 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Husband and I figure they must lose millions a day when the ship isn't on a cruise, so I'd work fast too ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkylil Posted January 15, 2016 #82 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Love this update thread. I am on the Journey on March 16th (Miami to West Indies) ......can't wait :). Will be watching the refurb with great interest Olwen :) Hi, also love this thread and will be there with you in March, think it will look great.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted January 15, 2016 #83 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'll never understand why people have to use over-the-top descriptors like "hideous." Nothing on an R-ship was "hideous." Areas may not have been to everyone's taste (I'm a mid-century modern person, myself) but that doesn't make everything else "hideous." There are even a few here who have expressed they are not at all happy about losing the original classic look of the ships as they were built. Is it time for a refurbishment? Yes. Were the ships "hideous" before? Nonsense. I agree too. A few more coming from Heike: Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 15, 2016 Author #88 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So good Johannes is on the ship. We will get lots of pictorial updates:cool: Phil Absolutely Phil. It's a huge plus that Captain Johannes is onboard. Larry Pimentel & Capt. Johannes must be the 2 most friendliest folks in social media - which should make this project very enjoyable for those of us who like to follow the Journey - pun intended. Thanks again to Larry Pimentel, Captain Johannes Tysse, Bonnie, and everyone at Azamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 15, 2016 Author #91 Share Posted January 15, 2016 We had incredibly bad weather here today. We were smack in the middle of Tornado warnings a few hours ago - but thankfully all is well. Looks like they had bad weather in Grand Bahama too.

Loucat Posted January 16, 2016 #95 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Andy-We are on the March 16, 2016 Journey sailing and never expected the ship to be refurbished before that date. We did receive a mailing from Azamara depicting the new ship and renderings are incredible. Thank you for this information and we are SO looking forward to all of the changes! Thanks also to the Captain for sharing the progress of the project. Much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwestchick Posted January 16, 2016 #96 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Absolutely Phil. It's a huge plus that Captain Johannes is onboard. Larry Pimentel & Capt.

Thanks again to Larry Pimentel, Captain Johannes Tysse, Bonnie, and everyone at Azamara. I was amazed that Larry Pimental actually replied to my tweet....he seems like a very nice man who cares about the happiness of the people who cruise on Azamara. Social media can sometimes be a very positive tool. Thanks again for the pictures. I din't see the rain today. Glad there was not a tornado...frightening thought.
