At CruiseMapper's list of new vessels under construction or on order , you'll also find an impressive number of passenger ships (river-, ocean- and cruiseferries ) being built/launched in the period 2015-2019. The majority of those joined the fleets owned by the world's biggest cruise companies - Carnival Corporation and RCCL-Royal Caribbean - via their subsidiaries/brands.

Cruise ship refurbishments, renovations, refits

Cruise ship drydocking (vessel refits and onboard refurbishments) is a multi-billion market with regularly scheduled vessel renovation projects every 2-3 years. Most drydocks are planned by the world's largest cruise shipowners - Carnival Corporation, RCG-Royal Caribbean Group, MSC Shipping Group, and NCLH-Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

2019's drydock schedule featured the industry's largest (so far) vessel reconstruction project - Carnival Triumph's conversion into Carnival Sunrise . The 60-day project (at Navantia Shipyard in Cadiz Spain ) was budgeted ~USD 200 million. For comparison, Carnival Destiny-Sunshine conversion (2013) cost ~USD 155M. Navigator OTS ' drydock reconstruction (Jan-Feb 2019) was budgeted USD 115M. Also in 2019 were conducted the drydocks of the NCLH-owned Oceania (6 ships) with fleet refurb budget ~USD 100 million.

Cruiseship refurb and newbuild contractor companies

One of the industry's largest companies contracted for cruiseship and yacht interior outfitting (both of newbuilds and refitted boats) is De Wave Group (based in Genoa Italy). The company's cruiseship order book in 2022 was EUR 104 million. De Wave Group's latest projects included the newbuilds Seabourn Venture, Seabourn Pursuit, Discovery Princess (EUR 15M), Norwegian Prima (EUR 10M), Celebrity Beyond (EUR 9M/April 2021), as well as refit projects for Virgin's Resilient Lady (June 2021/EUR 40M), NCL (EUR 6M), Oceania's Marina and Riviera (~600 staterooms + public areas).

ALMACO Group is another major turnkey manufacturer serving the marine and offshore industries. The company designs, manufactures and installs staterooms (crew and passenger cabin units), galley/kitchen equipment, provision stores, cold freezer rooms, refrigeration machinery systems, laundry facilities, pantries, bars. ALMACO is also contracted for lifecycle services (scheduled maintenance works) and spare parts supply for passenger vessels (including cruiseferries), as well as for and expert engineering and project management. Among ALMACO's customers (multi-million projects) are Carnival Corporation, Saga Group UK, Ritz-Carlton Yachts, Swan Hellenic, VIKING LINE.

Why cruise ships are being refurbished?

Time is money - while a cruise ship overhaul takes 15-30-days, building a new liner (design to launch) takes ~3 years (depending on vessel size, specifications, special features, owner, budget, etc).

In comparison to cruise newbuilds' cost (especially of bigger units), ship refurbishments are a lot cheaper than building a new one. Due to the impact of the Coronavirus crisis and IMO's new maritime regulations, all major cruise shipping companies started to sell (and eventually replace) the fleet's oldest units to smaller travel operators.

In most cases, "refurbished" is synonymous with "maintenance and repairs", "freshened up" and "overhauled". Works include engineering/machinery updates, hull cleaning-painting, new furniture and decors (sometimes only changing the color schemes), new carpets, smart HDTVs (interactive systems), shipwide Wi-Fi coverage and faster satellite Internet, replacing handrails and glass, upgrades of venues (sometimes creating new lounge areas or expanding old ones), new amenities and services, etc. This would cost the company between US$10-30 million per ship. Some refits may cost up to US$50M.

Drydock refit projects for older vessels always include installing low-water usage toilets (urinals and fixtures), energy-efficient LED lighting (inside and outside), energy-efficient windows, HVAC system (heat-ventilation-air conditioning), hull coating (to reduce the boat's resistance through water).

What the list of cruise ship renovations generally includes?

Major cruise ship overhauls may include reconstructing or adding new cabins, lounges, restaurants, a SPA facility, swimming pool(s), sometimes adding a whole new deck, and even better - a whole midsection, like the case of MS Enchantment of the Seas refurbishment / lengthening in 2005 (next photo and the YouTube video below).

Some technical enhancements, like a new external coating or an updated propulsion, for example, could significantly reduce fuel consumption (improving the ship's efficiency and environmental performance), while "most fun" modern time gadgets and contraptions attract huge crowds - like virtual "real-time" windows in all Inside cabins, or a water park with a slide, or a kids-only area, or a hugely-huge movie screen by the main pool.

Cruise ship refurbishment news are some of the "most wanted" and extremely popular on all major online travel forums. All big lines put their liners into dry dock every few years to update (or upgrade) them - it costs money, but again - it's cheaper than going on newbuilds. It's a fact that many travelers are hesitant to take the first sailing post-drydock.

Most dry-docks are routine - just refreshing, do not include major changes and have a fairly accurate schedule. A major refit, on the other hand, usually involves significant changes in construction (or services) and have an "unpleasant" tendency to start prior to the actual drydock (even during the sailing prior) and often continues into the first sailing after.

The next YouTube video shows the timelapse of the MS Braemar 's drydock extension at the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg Germany .

Cruise ship refurbishment jobs

Cruise ship refurbishment jobs are another issue. In 2009 Saga Holidays (UK company) refitted and refurbished its newly purchased Saga Pearl 2 ship (former name ms Astoria) spending 20 million pounds on this project and providing more than 300 jobs over a 3-month period.

The next video is about the April 2016 drydock refurb of Splendour OTS (now Marella Discovery) done in Freeport Bahamas.

Often vessels' need unscheduled repairs - not matching with planned maintenance schedules. In such cases are used teams of underwater specialists for fast, high-quality repairs, thus avoiding potential loss of income due to drydocking. The world's first global underwater ship repair service provider is Wartsila which provides any marine services and maintenance works, regardless of the ship's current location.

In 2017, Wartsila (Finnish marine corporation) acquired Trident BV (a global provider of commercial diving services) Via Trident, Wartsila offers worldwide underwater repairs, propulsion systems overhaul, regular maintenance works (hull cleaning, propeller polishing, welding), scrubber-cleaning and retrofitting, even major underwater overhauls. Corporation's main underwater teams are in Holland, Italy, and the Canaries. They can be dispatched to any location in a matter of hours, providing fast-response vessel inspections, repairs, refurbishments, equipment installation/replacement.

The old diesel engines (7 per ship) were replaced with 4 new engines running on ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel) fuel, thus reducing SO emissions. Each ship received 50 new cabins (to 156 total), which (based on the total investment) meant shipbuilding cost per berth USD 267,000. Among the new cabins are two larger Owner Suites. All existing staterooms were completely refurbished, including their bathrooms, balconies, sliding doors. The new public spaces and cabins were designed by the NYC-based "The Johnson Studio at Cooper Carry".

Grand Princess 2022 Dry Dock

By qhatoff , May 5, 2022 in Princess Cruises

Recommended Posts

We're sailing on the Grand in late May and noticed that it is currently in a 2-week dry dock in Portland. Does anyone have any insights into the work being done (besides regular mechanical/engine maintenance)? We'll be curious to read some reports from the first trips once Grand returns to service - especially since we have read some mixed reports about this particular ship's condition.

Following... We're on there early June.

On another site people are saying there are some issues. I sure hope this gets fixed soon. 

I specifically chose this ship because it was smaller and supposedly can get into better areas.  Maybe I should stick to the RC giant glitzy new ones... time will tell.

I was on the Grand in March 2022 and did not notice any significant issues.  Here she is in Portland.  Her sleeper sofas (in suites) were replaced after my October (2021) cruise.  They were so much better.  

I was on the Grand over last Christmas and thought she was in fine shape then. Of course there were only 400 passengers lol.  I will be sailing on her in June and would also like to know if they are updating any areas

It looks like the Grand just departed on its first Voyage of the Glaciers trip of the season! Anyone able to share if there were any updates during Dry Dock? Or comment on the ship's general state?

We have been on Grand 4 times (b2b2b in October-November 2021 and another in December 2021-January 2022); she was in FANTASTIC shape -- a real gem in the Princess fleet.  Grand gleamed with polish inside and out, and with newer upholstery.

To us, Grand shined as well as Majestic (November and December 2021) and Discovery (April 2022). 

In comparison to Grand, we felt that Ruby Princess (November 2021) was the ship that felt a little worn around the edges.

Additionally for us, Grand's crew and service has continued to be better than any other Princess ship we have ever sailed.

We thought the staff and food onboard last Christmas were both very good. She is a fantastic ship for Alaska with the full promenade and lots of open deck without glass to look thru.

Princess Cruises, the world’s leading international cruise line, announced new deployment plans for the United States with a return to homeport cruising in Galveston, Texas starting in December 2022, and San Diego starting in September 2022. Princess is planning return to service in Australia with Coral Princess starting in June 2022 following indications authorities are becoming more comfortable with a return to service in the region.

“Deploying these three ships to service over the next two months will mark the return of the entire Princess fleet, once our highly anticipated return to Australia is approved by local authorities,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “Returning a ship to San Diego gives more options for our west coast guests and Galveston makes a Princess cruise easily accessible to millions of Texans.”

Princess Returns to Galveston – Ruby Princess

After six years, Princess returns to homeport cruising from Texas. Ruby Princess will sail from December 2022 to April 2023, on a series of cruises from Galveston ranging from five to 11 days, calling mainly to destinations in the Western Caribbean. The ship will also sail through the Panama Canal on two 16-day, ocean-to-ocean transits between Galveston and San Francisco. Cruises will be on sale April 7, 2022.

Cruises from San Diego – Diamond Princess

From September 2022 through February 2023, cruising in California expands with a return to San Diego. Diamond Princess will be joining the fleet of west coast-based ships with a series of brand-new cruise itineraries ranging from five to 16 days and calling at ports along the Mexican Riviera, California Coast, and the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, the ship will sail a unique 20-day cruise to Central America, roundtrip from San Diego in November 2022. The on-sale date for these cruises is March 24, 2022.

New San Francisco Hometown Ship – Royal Princess

Royal Princess moves to San Francisco for the West Coast 2022/2023 season, with roundtrip cruises to Hawaii, Mexico, and the California Coast. Arriving in September 2022, after completing the Alaska season, Royal Princess will initially sail from San Francisco along with Ruby Princess . In December 2022, Ruby Princess relocates to Galveston and Royal Princess becomes the official hometown ship of San Francisco for the remainder of the 2022/2023 season. These cruises go on sale April 7, 2022.

A Return to Cruising in Australia Planned – Coral Princess

In anticipation that Australian Federal and State Governments will soon welcome the return of cruising, we are announcing plans for Coral Princess return to service in June 2022, with roundtrip Brisbane itineraries ranging from three- to 12-days in length and calling to destinations in Queensland and New South Wales. In August, Coral Princess will position to Sydney and depart on a new 12-day voyage calling to Queensland and the Conflict Islands in Papua New Guinea, before resuming the previously announced Australia & New Zealand program for the 2022/2023 season. Additionally, Majestic Princess will sail roundtrip from Sydney on a new Queensland voyage in February 2023 at the end of her already published season. Full details will be announced on March 17 and these Australia cruises will go on sale March 23, 2022.

As a result of these changes, previously published itineraries through April 2023 on Diamond Princess, and Royal Princess to Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, as well as two Ruby Princess Panama Canal sailings in February 2023 and select voyages on Majestic Princess in Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific from February 2023 to May 2023 will be cancelled.

The cruise on the 13th is not cancelled though it has been changed to 6 days.  CP won't leave the Caribbean until the 19th or 20th.

Pleased to see Regal scheduled for a refit next April. We are on board for two weeks in July and it did look a shade tired in Southampton last week.

Princess' most awful ship since they hacked her)  I can only hope that they create an IC (International Cafe) like they did on her former twin, the Coral during this next maybe drydock, if this information is true.  I really have tried but have been unable to find anything official from Princess about future drydocks,

Since this is taking place 

I wonder why we can't find out what is taking place.

We were on the Grand right after this dry dock in 2019 and a great upgrade was USB plugs on new nightstand lamps!! 

Does Princess release what is happening during the scheduled dry dock?  I will be on the Grand after this next maintenance and wonder what they will be updating/improving.

If you use a PVP they can usually find out for you

Are you sure about the Crown Princess?  We are supposed to sail on October 18th, 2022 from Vancouver, BC to Hawaii and back.

 Hmmmmm, according to the web cam she is indeed in drydock in Marseille.  Don't know if there is a way to know what they are doing to her.

I tried to Google nothing about what they are doing

I'm on Regal with my family for 2 weeks in July (16-30), will be our first Princess cruise. Have you heard if this scheduled dry dock is purely for routine maintenance, or if there will be any basic "freshening up" applied to things like carpeting, decor, etc? I'm assuming a two-week dry dock is too short for anything more significant than that, but I'd also hope that after 7 years in service they'd give her a bit of a facelift.

I am currently booked to sail on Sapphire Princess. It was originally an 8 day cruise leaving on May 2nd, 2023 but Princess changed it to an 11 day leaving on the 29th of April.  I see that it's supposed to be in drydock until May 1st.  Should I contact my Princess agent about this?  Please advise.  Thank you.

We  are on the segment from LA and back Nov. 9th. Both your cruise and ours are NOT available to book on the Princess site right now. I've never seen that before and its really weird. Not sure what's happening to our cruises on the Crown. 

Anyone have some info they can share?

Same thing is showing for the Emerald. September 30 and October 28 sailings are all that is showing. Everything else in August and September is show "currently unavailable" I know she is going into drydock after the September 30th cruise finishes but what going on with the rest of the dates?

There is precious little information about the Crown Princess dry dock in Portland starting Oct. 2. Will they finally fix the propulsion issue? I hope so, as I am booked on the Vancouver-Hawaii RT immediately following the dry dock. I note that cruise critic reviews of the Crown have been awful recently, commenting on late or cancelled port arrivals and a nasty shuddering aft.

Does anyone know what is planned for the dry dock and how is Princess dealing with all the complaints?

How about Royal Caribbean’s

Is Enchanted Princess scheduled for drydock in April 2024?  Still don't see where Enchanted Princess will be in April 2024.  My 20 day cruise on Enchanted ends on 4/6/24, and if the segment after my cruise is the TransAtlantic, then I would like to book it. 

Loves2crooze, curious about a sapphire sailing also.  Please join roll call if you haven’t and hope we can find out.  This is first time I have heard about this.

Well, if the above schedule is still accurate, Enchanted is scheduled for dry dock this spring march 29-April 15, and princess.com shows no cruises for those dates on enchanted, so I’d say that schedule is  still accurate.

If so, then a dry dock in 2024 seems very unlikely.  

Now, why there is no schedule yet for enchanted, or emerald also, is a question I would like to know, also.  Trying to decide between a cruise and land vacation for that summer, and need to know schedules and prices!

Where is Sky Princess April 8/24 & the rest of April onwards?

Dry dock, charter or Canary Islands cruise?

The island has a gap in her schedule from May 24 2024 till July 5th 2024. 6 week refit announced on the current WC last night.
