cruiseaddict5279 Posted February 25, 2014 #951 Share Posted February 25, 2014 From what I'm seeing in the pictures, it looks like they did end up building a rectangle enclosure, pumped out the water, and are working inside there. I think you can see the water line around that rectangular box. Pretty interesting to see that. I wish there were some pictures from inside that box, and of what they're working on.

beigedog Posted February 25, 2014 #954 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just noticed that they now have the Flowrider live cam pointed towards one of the drydock cranes and some of the staff can be seen using the zipline on the sports deck cam.

AeroBaldness Posted February 26, 2014 #960 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Checking in on the Allure Webcam shots while in drydock is pretty fascinating. What seems odd, is that the entire ship seems to be fully power up (for example, the Sorrento's is always on). I get that there is crew on board and the power needs to be maintained, but why not scale back? Is it "for show" on the webcams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or possibly shoreside power, if that's even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papcx Posted February 26, 2014 #964 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Surely all the lighting and shop signs are on timers. I can't imagine crew flick switches to turn them on or off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroBaldness Posted February 26, 2014 #965 Share Posted February 26, 2014 But wouldn't there be a breaker or master that could be flipped to save power? Aquahound? Others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillB48 Posted February 27, 2014 #971 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I would think things like the signs are all designed to be lit at all times along with the lighting you presently see to provide minimal lighting because the ship would normally have passengers in the overnight hours if it were not in drydock. The lighting that is present is probably what is needed for periods of time when there are few passengers (or crew) around. In the overall power consumption they are very low wattage as compared to the remainder of the hotel needs of the ship (air conditioning, galley, general lighting, etc.) for the people remaining on board. It probably would be a minor nightmare to and try and power down those items all the while keeping sufficient lighting for movement or even maintenance in the area.
