RickEk Posted February 5, 2014 #26 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I get that he's saying sailing before or after a dry dock might not be the best experience for passengers' date=' but in this case, he was talking to supposedly management level staff at Princess. So again, was he suggesting that the dry dock time be automatically extended so all work be done during that time?[/color'] And was this what the OP meant to say to management? Dry docks are very expensive for the cruise line. And keeping the ship out of service costs even more. They'll sail the ship and deal with the fallout later...

Quacker Posted February 6, 2014 #27 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We were on the last cruise of the "small" Royal. Was hard to get wine or most of anything else on that cruise. The last several days the shops were not open and you had to walk around boxes in the isles. Enjoyed being on a small ship but having everything is short supply and the closed shops spoiled it a bit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpcv77 Posted February 6, 2014 #28 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just off the Diamond in early January. There was a sanitizer dispenser as you entered the food area in the HC and a crew member to ask you to use it each and every time you entered the area. As for folks not washing their hands after using the restroom, all I can say is ugh, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 6, 2014 #29 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Soap and water works wonders. Hand sanitizer not so much. It certainly won't stop noro. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Edited February 6, 2014 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes more sense to have the major work done as soon as possible so you can get the ship back into water with paying customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
