Rare StartrainDD Posted December 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Carol, thanks for keeping this list available! We have been looking at the 3-17-18 Zaandam cruise from Santiago to Fort Lauderdale. Now that the 2018 summer sailings are showing I've noticed a break before the Zaandam's next sailing, through the canal to Vancouver. I suspect a dry dock is due in the Bahamas. I've always said I would not book the first cruise after a dry dock. Do I want to chance the cruise before one? They only do this itinerary once a year. Thanks again!

RuthC Posted December 31, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I've always said I would not book the first cruise after a dry dock. Do I want to chance the cruise before one? They only do this itinerary once a year. We (and friends) are booked on NA Oct 28 to Nov. 4th, the last cruise before dry dock. Anyone have experience with this? Should We be concerned? Will service be effected? Twice I have sailed the last cruise before dry dock. Both were long cruises, and both were before major renovations/reconstructions of the ships. Decks were raised, cabins added, lanais added---that sort of thing. Major. The first included a trans-At, but no visible work was done until our last day. We were at HMC, and when we returned there were pieces taken down from the walls, and the shops had started packing up stock. It was after dinner that the elevators were padded up for protection. On the second cruise we had workmen aboard, but the only way to know was by their steel-toed work shoes, and by seeing them stack their dishes and bring them to the collection area themselves. Again, there was nothing done in the passenger areas while we were on board. I might be a little hesitant to take a first cruise following dry dock, depending on how extensive the work was. But based on experience, I would not hesitate to take the final cruise before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llbz327 Posted January 14, 2017 #16 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I am taking a cruise a week after dry dock. I have read that might not be a good idea. what would be the reason for concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted January 14, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I am taking a cruise a week after dry dock. I have read that might not be a good idea. what would be the reason for concern? It would depend on what is being done during the dry dock as to how much concern I would have. If it is a normal scraping the hull, soft goods replacement inside, carpets replaced, I wouldn't be too concerned. If it were more extensive renovations, such as adding cabins, adding cabanas, changing out Northern Lights, removing the Piano Bar on the Vista/Signature ships, then I would be concerned if that extensive work would be finished before the ship was returned to service. There has been a track record of things not being finished in time when it's very extensive work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
