Discovery dry dock

Ever wondered what the Atrium looks like without any clothes? Here’s your sneak peek… ‪#‎DryDockDiary

 

on thomson facebook page

Pity there is only one image of the work. It looks like extensive interior modelling and hopefully redecoration to make it less 'american glitzy'. Pity they are not going to fit fridges in all the cabins.

 

I am on the 3rd? cruise on the 25th June and looking forward to the fun as they will not have sorted all the problems by then :D

 

ps -why don't they get rid of the climbing wall and golf now? You can't use the climbing wall when the ship is moving and more sunbeds and another bar would be better than golf ;)

I also can't understand the need for a climbing wall. I won't be taking advantage of it for sure! I don't do Facebook, is there anywhere else to see the progress?

You can look at the images on facebook without having to join. Just click the 'f' at the bottom of the Thomson page.

Carl Schofield said they would put a buffet at the top to make certain it was used😀😀

there was already a buffet at the top of the ship. they called it the windjammer café ;)

There is a specific member of staff recruited by Peel to oversee the Golf and Climbing wall and other external activities so they will not be getting rid of the wall.

 

I expect the ship to be 100% ready for 11th June though accept there may be some fine tuning that first week.

You can use the climbing wall when the ship is underway...

Hope the buffet doesn't end up like all the Windjammers we have experienced on Freedom,Independence,Ovation etc. they were all like a cattle market.

I like the putting green! Not so sure about the wall though :O

Just as a note of interest, Discovery is now out of the drydock and floating once more :)

[davecttr]

I see Discovery is en route for Palma and due to arrive early this afternoon.

That was quite a paint job, right back to bare metal.

 

I did not know they had a large access hatch below water level, hope they don't forget to lock it ;)

[davecttr]

Mmm, maybe it is access for maintenance for the stabiliser

[stevedeccaman]

if you look at the time lapse u will see the hatch below water level at the point of dry dock

They look to have done a great job !

Hope they were as meticulous with the cabins and rest of the ship inside ;)
