rbabiak Posted September 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2010 What do they do when they dry dock a ship? Complete interior overhaul? how long are the ships typically out of action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Depends on the ship, what will be planned. Not everything is replaced, but if the carpet is worn, it will be changed. Dining tables can be built and changed out. Typically 2 weeks, but lately to add waterworks and balconys those ships did a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted September 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Very often maintenance to the engines something that cannot be done while in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted September 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2010 A typical dry dock is a two weeks and happens about every three years, sooner if there's a pressing need. During a routine dry dock work or stained carpeting and upholstery is replaced, some features, like bow to stern WIFI, might be added. To do the major changes, like adding the Evolutions of Fun upgrades, takes more time... a month or longer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Conquest Class ships, of which Valor is one, aren't getting waterworks parks. Those are on the Fantasy Class, the Splendor and the Dream... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocF Posted September 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The purpose of drydocking is to perform the required inspections of hull and machinery. Any other stuff done is just gravy, but it makes much sense to do upgrades while the ship is out of service for mandatory inspection and maintenance work.

In 2009 my husband and I picked a cruise ship/itinerary and based our WEDDING DAY on it....then found out later, after all of our planning (deposits included) that our ship had been dry docked :eek: !! Luckily there was another itinerary available that suited our schedule and, although it wasnt what we planned, we still had a FABULOUS honeymoon. Talk about icing on the CAKE :D Will cross my fingers yours doesnt get docked!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
