Rare mizLORInj Posted January 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Just went onto Port Everglades webcam to see Regal go out. It shows as going to Freeport on marine traffic. Why would it be going there. At 1:30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanICruiseSoonPlease Posted January 12, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Yes, drydock til next week. Regularly scheduled drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted January 12, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted January 12, 2020 What are they going to do in a week I wonder? I figured it was some sort of maintenance, but one week isn't very long for a dry dock. Not a complaint---something will be refreshed before I board next month! 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblane Posted January 12, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I just watched Regal leave also. Thank you for the explanation. We board in 5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a week, there's no time to change any venues or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetexas Posted January 12, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Excuse the VERY non-technical answer but I just got off Regal and the staff captain said while they’re in wet dock this week they’re having a new “tower” installed that does something to improve the environmental impact of fuel burning. They already have one and now they’ll have two. I’m sure they are doing other stuff as well but that’s what he mentioned at one of the talks on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we were told in Dec plus the crew said they doing lots of cleaning that usually isn't done each week. It should be a clean ship on Jan 19th. 😁 Oh btw- they did say it was a "wetdock" Edited January 12, 2020 by MissP22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg4502 Posted January 13, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Depends on what they are doing. I was on the Pacific Princess last May. After the cruise she was going into drydock in Freeport. In San Pedro, they were all ready loading supplies on board before we got off. One of the crew said they were bringing on 400 workers to complete the 2 week drydock.

Steelers36 Posted January 13, 2020 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I would think if they have not yet completed replacing all beds with the Princess Luxury Bed, that would be done as well. Was supposed to be completed in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha999 Posted January 13, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I’m on the January 19th sailing. I wonder if the cabins will be ready earlier since no one is disembarking that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croptop Posted January 15, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I, too, am sailing on the Regal on 19 January right after she comes out of wet dock. Looking forward to my next voyage on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
