  • Cascade General Completes Upgrades To Regal Princess
    The P&O cruise ship Regal Princess was re-launched in early October after a 12 day stopover at Cascade General's Portland shipyard. The 36,575 ton ship departed with an enlarged and modernized Lido Caf' on Deck 12 and a new Children's Center on Deck 14, as well as numerous other modifications.  Within a day of the ship's arrival from Sitka, Alaska, the yard had lifted two pre-fabricated deck extensions onto the stern of the vessel originally built by Fincantieri in 1991. The two aluminum structures weighed in at 13 tons for the Lido Caf' extension and 20 tons for the Children's Center.  Besides a complete bottom blast and re-coat, numerous frames supporting the double bottom were repaired. In addition, the port six-blade Lips propeller weighing 33,000 lbs was removed, the shaft was pulled, and a full biannual inspection was carried out by officials of Lloyd's of London.
    Passenger areas were given a complete upgrade and re-fit, with new carpets and fixtures. Deck spaces were given new ceilings, wall paneling and d'cor. More than 500 workers were involved in the project, working around the clock to ensure the 1,596 passenger ship would be ready to resume operations out of San Francisco to the Caribbean on October 3.
