I was wondering if that photo was actual, the darkness did match their current time. No movement on Marinetraffic though.

I sail on the inaugural Alaskan trip May 4th. Worried if she’ll be ready in time OR parts of the ship will be inaccessible due to construction. Thanks for all the updates and the pictures. I’ll be sure to leave a review right after the trip. KEEP THE PICS COMING! Haha

Looking forward to it!  Have a great cruise!

This is a great thread. Thanks for posting pics and updates.

we are booked for Panama Canal on the Jan 31, 2021 cruise......  I thought we were the only ones booked out that far away.... looks like you have me beat by a few days. LOL. 😃🚢.. Enjoy your trip. We are also traveling with our grown daughters (unless I'm able to get them married off first lol)  in a 2 Bedroom H4 suite.  

We are on that cruise too.  My hubby and I are booked in the Haven for the Jan 31, 2021 Panama Canal.  We are so excited.

I was hoping for a big pool like on the Escape. 

Big pool on Escape? i thought that pool area was small and cramped compared with a lot of other ships.

Really? I can't message you to ask about link.

So this thread spawned a question.  What do they do with the crew during something like this.  While I'm sure some staff can perform duties needed, it's not like bartenders are also carpenters etc.  Anybody know?

[JesseB]

I think they plan it so most of the crews contracts end soon after they arrive on the yard and the new folks show up before they sail. Most of the licensed engineers are probably still on board along with the higher ranking deck officers as well as reps from corporate and ncl port engineers 

[FreestyleNovice]

Some staff like waiters are on fire watch duty, help with moving furniture, clean cabins etc. Hotel/restaurant staff tends to crew catering in some numbers. But there will be an abundance at a certain point, have seen a lot more of Singapore on crew's Instagram/FB pages since last month hehe..

That deck looks smaller than other NCL main decks. Especially the pool. Or is it just perspective??

[Von & John]

I believe I have heard others mention the pool is off to the side & quite small...

Here we can finally see the finished exterior look fot the observation lounge. I think that it would’ve been a great idea if they’ve kept the railing and still made use of the balcony space as like observation lounge balcony. Like in the picture below!

I saw someone else mention that on social media. I’m curious is that to continue work, to pick up crew?

Work on the interior is continuing to Yokohama.  Picking up more contract workers and then on to Seattle.  Hopefully by the time they reach Seattle and all those festivities, all the work will be done.  Then some special cruises and then back to Seattle for Her Alaskan season.

I agree.  Picturing choppers flying around taking video and all that...

They would probably use drones.  That's what they did for our Bliss Panama Canal video.

She is on her way..
