Another first at sea. Princess had a pay venue when we sailed with them over ten years ago, possibly called “the retreat or sanctuary”. It was so much for the week, and they also sold a few day passes. It wasn’t anything like this though. They had thick foam pool loungers, bar service and you could use the spa pool. Very basic and simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s The Sanctuary with Princess. MSC has the Top 19 Exclusive Solarium (which is also for the Aurea Experience but you can pay for it too). NCL has the Vibe Beach Club. The Retreat is the new suite area with Celebrity Cruises. steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do they paint the bottom of the ship sitting on blocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do they paint the bottom of the ship sitting on blocks? The exterior hull plates are painted before they are lowered into the dry dock and welded to the rest of the ship. It's also my understanding that each time a ship enters dry dock, the location of the keel blocks is changed so portions of the hull that were covered before are able to be painted. But there is no real way to paint the entire bottom of the ship during a single dry docking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eremita85 Posted November 3, 2022 #2358 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) The purpose for the strange structure is now clear, it is for lifting the dome! I went to take propably the last night photos of the bow without the Aquadome. I was there for 4.5 hours, but nothing happened, maybe they will wait until morning.

Maybe in the next day or so it will be installed. She’s come a long way not that long ago when the first section was placed in the drydock to this moment with the last big piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted November 4, 2022 #2361 Share Posted November 4, 2022 That is absolutely amazing, lifting the whole thing with cranes. I'd be afraid the glass would crack! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had I seen the photo you just posted I would not had made my comment earlier. I was looking only which Lloyd shared, to which showed a frame structure being lowered by a crane. To me, it appeared to have no glass in it. That being said, the image you just shared with me clearly will be lowered onto the ship at some point, with the glass intact. As I said before, it was my mistake. I guess I should follow this thread more closely as she is getting closer to completion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem 👍 yes they have the dome itself and the structure for lifting the dome. This looks to be the hardest lifting operation they have ever done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey no worries, nobody has all the answers, it is all speculation at this point. BTW has anyone heard Bayley give another "exciting announcement"....I keep waiting for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I usually just use "Eremita" if it's not already taken, otherwise I use "Eremita85". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
