Trimline transforms jazz clubs into casinos on three Royal Caribbean ships

A key factor contributing to the success of the refurbishments was Trimline's TAPP software for project monitoring
Trimline completed the conversions of jazz clubs into smoke-free casinos on three Royal Caribbean ships - Harmony of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.

It transformed the areas concurrently and while the ships were in service around the US using ride-on squads, with each vessel taking approximately two weeks to transform. 

Easing disruption to passengers and crew 

Trimline's team of demolition and removal experts, joiners, electricians, decorators, and labourers worked closely with data, IT, and casino commissioning specialists to ensure the work was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to passengers and crew. They carefully handled materials around the ship and adjusted their work patterns to accommodate passenger and crew movements.

TAPP software 

Trimline ascribed ‘meticulous pre-planning and commitment of the team’ to the project’s success as well as its TAPP software, which enabled Trimline and Royal Caribbean to monitor progress in real-time and ensure that all work was completed on time and within budget. 

Trimline PM Billy Morton said, ‘It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Royal Caribbean on these conversions. The team has worked tirelessly to ensure that the work is delivered to the highest standards, and we are delighted with the results. We're confident that these new smokeless casinos will provide an enjoyable experience for the guests on board.’
