I'm not familiar with Cafe Caribe. Is this new or part of the existing (pre-dry dock) buffet? It's been there. When the Horizon Court main buffet is closed, they will leave snacks and whatnot out in the Cafe Caribe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted October 13, 2023 #102 Share Posted October 13, 2023 The Cafe Caribe has always been there. It's a smaller buffet. Not always open like the main buffet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The serving area which only operates during certain hours had selections not available in the the main area, such as made to order omelets, special lunch & dessert items. Anticipate the entire buffet area will undergo some changes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH and I noticed the work going on, but didn’t realize there were no passengers moving about until we were on the bus for our shore ex! We paid more attention walking back to our ship upon our return. Of course we couldn’t tell what was going on inside the vessel, but saw lots of painting, scraping of railings, and hoisting materials onto the sports court area and pool decks. unfortunately the materials were in big bins, so we couldn’t tell what they were loadin There was a lot of activity and seemed that big changes were taking place. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted October 15, 2023 #108 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Early on I read that all bedding and carpets were being changed. If correct, that would be lots of containers of new and old supplies on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starboard side was against the pier, and I did not notice a dent. So, if it was on that side, I guess it is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They completed a repair to allow the ship to sail, but it still needed the finishing touches. Damage: "Repair": 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercruiser Posted October 19, 2023 #111 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We are on Crown Princess in Victoria, docked next to Ruby. This picture shows some of the activity on the pool deck. I can see a crane, shipping containers, and many workers. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercruiser Posted October 19, 2023 #112 Share Posted October 19, 2023 It appears the San Francisco pier damage has been repaired, or at least filled with Bondo 😁 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EightFurryPaws Posted October 22, 2023 #114 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The Ruby was docked next to the Crown, which I was on, in Victoria, Canada on October 15. It arrived after us and left before our ship left. Large crates were being replaced on the top deck, but that was all that was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank.ncl Posted October 23, 2023 #121 Share Posted October 23, 2023 New furniture and carpet. Also added wash sinks at all entrances to buffet. . Beverages such as coffee, lemonade orange juice teas are no longer self-service. They will bring you those items. The layout of the food area unfortunately is unchanged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank.ncl Posted October 23, 2023 #122 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Correction, they will allow you to self serve beverages, but so far they’ve always been service by employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
