General plan
December 2008 update
All in all, we’re quite happy with the functionality, practicality and use of space. A lot of people have given feedback and suggestions and this is the final result. Our interior designer is now detailing the staterooms and we’ll have some changes to the bathrooms as these will be prefabricated ‘wet cells’ but these will only improve the situation and make maintainance even easier.April 4
At this point we are pretty much past the design stage as far as distribution of spaces goes. We had some extra work to do as ran into issues with MCA damage stability rules and had to move our forward engineroom bulkhead aft. This will cause a lot of extra work but the great side-effect is that we get more space for our guest rooms. About 45 cm (1 1/2 ft) more lenght for each guestroom.
Our general arrangement plans (December 08 version) can be seen in PDF format and AutoCAD. A more detailed drawing of the stateroom deck made by our interior designer is also available in PDF. A construction drawing (current situation) is also available. This is our line plan of the front and side and we also have our shell expansion plan (showing thickness of hull plating) available in PDF-format and AutoCAD.
