When is Solstice revitalization rescheduled??

[BoneDoc]

Anybody know the refurb. schedule for the Solstce

[cruisestitch]

As answered already, First the cruise line needs to make some money.  All major refurbishments are on hold.  Only required maintenance will be done in the near future.

And yet, they continue with new builds.😱

Backing out if contracts is expensive.  They need to add capacity to grow or stagnate and the S and M class ships are very popular.

They just can't stop a new build. The shipyards have done all the work in scheduling for them and everyone else. There  are parts, and workers hired for the particular job, as well as subcontracters. Much easier for a refurb.

Plus the light at the end of a "new build" tunnel is an entire ship full of new revenue potential. That's not the case for a refurb.

That said, revolutionizing the Millennium and Summit has allowed Celebrity to charge markedly higher rates than the Constellation and Infinity. Gutting staterooms makes a huge difference for passengers, and they're willing to pay for it.
