chengkp75 Posted April 1, 2016 #510 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Perhaps I am not viewing the correct site, even though I did the search that was suggested. I see a fairly empty view of what looks like a spot a ship should dock at. I haven't looked at that camera in a hour or so, but it is just a bow cam, and the ship could have swung at anchor to face a different direction. The only cameras you will get will be when a cruise ship is in port and pointed the right way. Given that RCI is part owner of the yard, it will most likely be even more restricted for crew to post photos or comments to social media. The one important detail will be whether she goes to a drydock or wet berth. It seems she may have just picked up a pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim1 Posted April 1, 2016 #523 Share Posted April 1, 2016 As I remember, the poster was Amy. She and her husband were from England. He would be under contract for various dry docks in various locations. I think the drydock with the pictures was from a Voyager class, maybe Mariner. Hey, it's me! :D I tend to lurk more these days rather than post, but I'm still around :p I'm still here, Dave is still busily working on various ships, but no more pictures these days. He's just leaving Freeport again on the Carnival Triumph and saw the Empress of the Seas arriving earlier today :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry Dock Dave Posted April 1, 2016 #525 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Before rumour mill goes crazy, nobody got fired... I was asked politely to refrain from enabling pictures to appear on here, due to the scale and nature of those seeing them. I was never particularly thoughtful about what I took pictures of, and they prefer a 'nicer' portrayal of their ships I guess. I was always playing the better to ask forgiveness than permission angle, so when asked to stop I obliged. Seemed a good idea once known for the pictures to disappear incase it did ever escalate above the person that approached me. So it was requested they were removed from here by me, and I appreciate that admin obliged. We had a good run, but nothing lasts forever... Smiling that someone else has taken up the role I played though, enjoy them while they are available, and don't worry too much about how they end up here!
