She has to drydock as ships are required to undergo a drydock every 5 years until they are 20 and then it becomes 2 drydocks in a 5 year period.  There likely will be no cosmetic upgrades to her and everything will be based on marine requirements.

good question?

[Billy Baltic]

Looks like she’s on her way to Cadiz now. Is that where the dry dock is taking place?

[Mapleleafforever]

We were on her 2 years ago and she still seemed brand spanking new.

She would only have been 3 or 4. This drydock is required mechanical items only.

Oasis had hers there so it makes sense.

Well, her AIS shows "enroute to Cococay" .... but she is almost a days jouney behind Cococay. So, it looks like an Atlantic passage to me.

 

If there are Europe-tours at all, the first one for her is scheduled for June 6th. Quite a lot of time for having a dry dock. 

 

Stay healthy!

Captain Johnny has tweeted that he’s en route to Cadiz. Taking 18 days to cross! 

[FamilyCruiserUK]

I hope shes on her way to europe as i am booked on her at the end of aug.

 

Lets hope europe get a grip of their vaccine and open up cruising. 

 

Being british i have visited all the ports she is scheduled to stop at so i have no issues with staying on board and enjoying the sun amd ship

Allure was even slower, took her 3 weeks - must have been the headwind.🤣

How come it is taking so long when the average cruiseship can travel 480 nautical miles in a day(24 hours). Seems it shouldn't take that long.

Going 20 knots using a lot more fuel than going 10 knots even factoring in the extra days.

To save fuel and they in no hurry.

[Pandamonia]

The communication is terrible from royal.

 

How can anyone make any plans in this mess. We have 2 weeks in August on this ship. 

 

Either the staff are returning for a restart or they arent. If it takes 90 days to restart then surely they know the chances of restarting. they wont even come out and tell us if masks are mandatory because if they are i want to move or cancel 

 

Bad news is that France and Italy are going in to lockdown so europe is in as big a mess as before

As Capt Johnny says on Twitter “No stops, just not in a hurry 😉”.

 

He also says they are going to Spain “ For service and cruise 😉“.  Read into that what you will.
