Mercury refit to Mein Schiff 2, Day 25

It’s not only hard work.
We also find time for a ‘’little’’ barbecue in between.

Getting closer and closer to the finish day.

Today we had a bomb threat to the vessel, so we had to leave for a couple of hours until the entire vessel was searched.
And as everybody expected, nothing was found.

Observation Lounge – a VIP area located on deck 17 with a spectacular view, consisting of Viking Crown Lounge with the rising sun bar and the best view of the Central Park area, Pinnacle Chapel for official ceremonies and private weddings, Pinnacle Lounge a quiet relaxing Lounge with a superior view.

All was delivered on time as scheduled.
With this delivery we have added a new chapter to the large scale of projects we have preformed.

We are sorry for the delay of updates on our website.The only excuse we have is that we have been too
busy with other things… which is actually a good thing-

The job was done for R&M Ship Technologies GmbH

Today we had the final delivery of the areas.
It was a good delivery for us, owner and Architect was satisfied with our works.
Of-course we got a few remarks, 10 to be precise.
6 of them we fixed right away, and 4 we need to come back and fix, due to a little delivery time for some stainless steel profile.

We will be on and off the vessel for the next 2 weeks due to the extra work we got from the owner.

After May 8 we will update with final pictures of the area as it will look when the ship goes into service.

Today is our touch up day, where we are checking up all the details and make sure we are 100% ready for tomorrow where We have the Final inspection by owner and Architect at 10.00AM
We will be the first area onboard to make a final delivery.
Yes, we are a little proud of that.
The area do look at little messy, and will also do that during the final inspection tomorrow.
The reason is that Century Casino moved all their gaming equipment into the area.
This will not effect our delivery, but only look at little messy on the pictures.
Today we send more that half of our workforce back home, the rest will leave tomorrow.

Today we had the preliminary inspection with the owner.
This vent very well, we only got minor remarks as we were still missing our touch up day.
Owner was satisfied with the area, and we will now use tomorrow to do all our own remarks, touch ups etc.

Tomorrow we will have the first real inspection, by the owner.
We expect this to run smoothly as we have discussed details on a daily basis with them.
Area still looking messy, but that will be totally different tomorrow at 05.00 PM.

Now we have only 4 days to final delivery and 2 days to preliminary inspection.
Area start to take form and it starts to look good here and there.

Today the architect team visited the vessel again.
Ralf Claussen and Ulrike Luebben from CM Design in Hamburg were overlooking the works today.
Overall they were happy with the performance they saw.
It always gives a good feeling when we are not too far from what the architect wants to see.

6 days to Final delivery and the last furniture’s are being installed.
Also vinyl floors are going in.
Feel free to take a look at the pictures from day 18 and 19.

Now we are getting closer to the finish day, we have approx 1 week to go and we are still good.
It’s always nice when he carpet starts to go in, then you know you are getting there.
We have been very lucky with the weather on this dry dock, we had only rain for 1 day, and it was only a few drops.
All other days have been sunny and clear, with at great temperature during the day.

Now we are 16 days into the refit of Galaxy.
We are still performing well and have no issues finishing in time.
We (as R&M Ship Tec) are just awarded a refit of the hospital on deck 4.
We will change flooring throughout and also make a new reception desk as well as changing some stainless steel profiles.
We will have to do this before the end of the dry dock… in the beginning of May.

11 Days to final delivery, and we are still in OK time.
Now is the really tricky time where we are still doing some dusty work and in the same time we are finalizing the much nicer work.

Now we are more that half way through the project and still on good time.
More and more furniture’s and wallpaper goes in.
Today we have German television onboard doing a large scale interview with the Architect Ralf Claussen in our area.
Some of the topics for our area were the cleanliness and organisation in our area.
We were very pleased with that.

We spend a very fruitful Easter ‘’Holiday’’ onboard the Galaxy… more and more turned to Mein Schiff.
Everything runs smoothly and we have no obstructions.
All furniture installation and paintworks going in the right direction, as well as our other interior works.

Now we are 7 days into the dry dock transferring Celebrity Galaxy to TUI Cruises Mein Schiff.
A lot of furniture installation is already going on.
We are in a good progress so everything seems fine.

We are still going strong on the refit of Celebrity Galaxy in Bremerhaven.
