I have just reread both Tom and Nancy's reviews of the Baltic cruise on Century, on which my husband and I are booked for next June. I have heard that the ship will be in dry dock for a 55 million dollar overhaul. Does anyone know what they are actually doing? Are there any drawbacks and/or anvantages to sailing just after such a refurbishment? Also, how much does the specialty coffee cost at the Cova Cafe? Finally, if you are not an Elite C.C. member, how much does it cost to use the thallasotherapy pool?

Thanks!

I am going from memory on this one, but I believe that a specialty coffee drink is around $3.50 or so (I believe that is what I paid for a latte). If you are a Starbucks addict, it is well worth it.

The thallasotherapy pool is $10 per day, but they offer a cruise special at the beginning of the cruise.... take it. The T-pool is a wonderful treat and well worth the cost.

I would suspect that the benefits of sailing on a recently refurbished ship would far outweigh the drawbacks. The crew would be familiar with the ship and the ship itself. You can do a lot of stuff for 55 million bucks...VBG. it should will be awesome. Just my opinion.
