1999As a result of advances in technology with the arrival of Global Maritime Distress and Safety Systems (GMDSS) the Radio Room facility was completely removed. Equipment was transferred to the Communications Centre on Two Deck and individual department terminals installed on the navigations bridge. The Caledonia Suite (575 square feet) was installed using the Radio Room space. Recent refurbishments to the ship in Dubai has resulted in the area forward of the Queens Grill being incorporated into the restaurant.
