Pearl from Oct. 6 -20, 2018

Does anyone know why there is a 14 day gap in the Pearl's cruising schedule in October 2018? We are booked on the Panama Canal cruise starting 10/20 and are wondering if we will be the first sailing after a refit.

Pearl dry docked in February 2017.

Pearl sails from Vancouver to LA in early October. Then 2 weeks later leaves for the Caribbean. Seems odd that it would dry dock again. That's what made me curious.

I'm glad I searched before posting this same question. Some years ago we sailed back-to-back on the Star from Vancouver-LA then LA-Mexican Riviera. Hoping to do the same again on the Pearl (last sailed on her in 2014) but there's this big blank space. I'm thinking it might be a charter but can't find anything. Anyone in the know?
