neilrr Posted May 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Hi Everyone: We will be going on Sirena 7/5 and the ship will have its first cruise on 5/19 after Dry Dock - just checking for any updates up to this point. Any information would be greatly appreciated, as I have not found anything recently. Thank you. Edited May 16, 2019 by neilrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they do not push back your cruise all is good LHT28 - Usually, there are some updates/news of how the refurbishment is coming along. There has not been a peep. Would you not be curious if you had a cruise coming up on a ship in dry dock? Years ago, we were going on Holland Veendam and after they took it out of dry dock. They supposedly had a few odds and ends to finish during the shake down 1st cruise -- WELL -- the lower deck cabins end up being flooded and people were ankle deep in water...😳 This was 2 months before our cruise on the Veendam. I guess that is why I am a bit curious as to how things are going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMCO - Thank you - I agree - I have always seen updates about refurbishments on other lines (at least a press release by the line). I am not sure what you are referring to "they did one." If you think they already did a shakedown cruise -- the first cruise after refurbishment is not until the 19th of May - this coming Sunday...

So the first could have issues but the second (Sirena) and third and fourth (Regatta and Nautica) should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some valid points -- but no two ships are exactly the same - there are always differences and nothing is ever easy... The basics should be the same. We will hope for the best... Let's see how the first few sailing go and the feedback received... Fingers crossed...😁🍸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiNole Posted May 17, 2019 #13 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Also of note is that refurbishments are being done in different shipyards, so there may be different craftsmen and layouts available. This allows the ships to stay within their geographic zones rather than detour to one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiNole Posted May 17, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Was on the Nautica in April. Guiseppi and Captain Max commented several times that by the time Nautica goes in for refurbishment, all of the kinks should be worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rundent Posted May 18, 2019 #17 Share Posted May 18, 2019 HMS Prince of Wales put to sea with workmen still aboard to accompany HMS Hood to meet the Bismark. Turned out a lot worse than what we can expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
