Rare joe/jack Posted December 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I know Vista is heading to drydock next month. Do they normally change the bedding (Mattress) at this time? We were on Magic last month and that was my only complaint. Everyone we spoke with had the same issue. We are taken the whole clan in May Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted December 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2023 They can change mattresses at any time, they don't wait for dry-docks. I am sure that like most hotel chains they have a schedule of replacement for mattresses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj_connections Posted January 9 #3 Share Posted January 9 Anyone know what else is going to changed during this drydock? It seems like a long one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg2310 Posted January 9 #4 Share Posted January 9 From what I understand it could be, but a drydock is not required to change out the bedding. They can do that without a scheduled drydock. So, it just depends how long it's been since the mattresses were last changed out, but it is quite likely they will be as all the staterooms are likely to be refreshed given the timely drydock. Beyond that, I read in another thread here the other day that they will be taking out the IMAX theater currently on the Vista and be replacing it with a smoking-free casino in its place. Other than this I don't know what else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj_connections Posted January 9 #5 Share Posted January 9 OH NO I was hoping the IMAX would stay (I was planning to book this ship and one of the reasons was for the IMAX) - but maybe it wasn't a hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshower9 Posted January 9 #7 Share Posted January 9 Just as a note, there hasn't been any official confirmation of what's going to take place during dry dock. People are only stating what they've heard, and who knows how credible the sources of this information are. I've heard a couple of different things myself, but John Heald has said that he will post on his page once he has official word of what's actually going to be done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz-s Posted January 10 #9 Share Posted January 10 There is a lot of people speculating and spitballing here and on facebook etc. Please do not repeat that speculation and spitballing as fact. There is absolutely no proof to the assertion that they're removing the IMAX theater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BDNANA Posted January 10 #10 Share Posted January 10 I would be happy with a new coat of paint ( she was starting to look a little kmart ) and a really good scrub up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolloman Posted January 18 #13 Share Posted January 18 I am bumping this up as I too am curious to what is currently taking place. At this point, I am not sure why they are being so tight lipped about it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way when that’s all that is done, you won’t be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted January 18 #15 Share Posted January 18 Is this her first regularly scheduled drydock (apart from the azipods repair a while back)? Remember, most of what goes on during a drydock isn't full fledged remodeling. It's all the behind the scenes 'safety and soundness' stuff as required by maritime law. I'd expect anything noticeable (besides the hull paint job) to be strictly revenue related. IF the IMAX goes, it's because it has been a loser for the company.

It wouldn't be too difficult to rearrange and put the piano bar over where the library is currently. Just like Panorama and Horizon.

They usually keep things quiet until it is closer to the end of dry dock, that way if something happens, and something doesn't get added, people can't whine that they booked for only that reason.

1BDNANA Posted January 22 #25 Share Posted January 22 I wonder if they will change over to the smart elevator system that they put on the Horizon and the Panorama ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
