Galaxy is it true...

[JoeyandDavid]

We had heard some rumblings that the Galaxy was on her way (we had heard sometime like late spring 08) in to get retrofitted /dry-docked upgraded .. what ever the term is ... LOL.... but after searching on the web we can't find any info on this ... can anyone provide us with an update.. is this true or is this hype.. Thanks..

Joey,

It's still just a rumor, but if you look at the schedule of cruises, there is a gap in her schedule for about two weeks. Celebrity hasn't made an announcement as of yet, but I'll bet it will come up soon.

Thank you Howard... If/When someone hears offically from Celebrity we would love to know

From the 18th of April when she arrives in San Juan until May3 when she leaves Miami on her Transatlantic crossing to begin the Mediterranean season, she is not scheduled for anything. A likely time, but no announcement yet. The thought is that after Century's upgrade last year, the other two of the Century class, the Galaxy and the Mercury would eventually follow suit.
