Refit fun facts
Seven venues – The Epicurean, The Crow’s Nest, Sunset Bar, Market Café, The Crystal Room, Brodie’s and the Loyalty and Cruise Sales Desk – were given a total makeover with a new layout, new upholstery or furniture and new carpet design.
800 tradespeople were involved in the refit – tilers, carpet fitters, electricians, upholsterers, carpenters, seamstresses, plumbers, general labourers, welders, and teak and resin deck specialists.
The carpet was replaced in more than 10,000 square metres of public areas and in more than 1,000 cabins.
Over 4,200 metres of alleyway carpet has been replaced – that’s equal to 4.2 kilometres or 2.6 miles
More than 1,000 new pieces of furniture were brought in, and nearly 1,000 pieces of old furniture were given a new lease of life by being upholstered.
