1965 Posted August 7, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Can someone point me in the direction of a current dry dock schedule? I'm especially interested in the Grand. Someone posted she's being released from dry dock 5-11-22. That's the day she's scheduled to set sail for our Alaskan cruise. That seems a little too close for comfort.

Three of those days will be a San Fran-Vancouver coastal (not confirmed yet or available for booking, but already on our port schedule as being the first ship back). I wouldn't be surprised if they slot in a Panama Canal from East to West rather than sail it empty....but no idea if this is going to happen....

pcsunlover Posted August 7, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Our Caribbean Princess April 30, 2022 cruise was cancelled due to the drydock. I believe the correct dates for the drydock for her is March 20 - May 13th 2022. I wish the schedule showed what the drydock entails as that seems like a long time.

hpeabody Posted August 7, 2021 #19 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I also have the Jan 4th 2022 cruise on the Diamond booked. I think we can probably forget about this cruise being a GO for several reasons as stated above. And I do not think there she could get to Singapore in 2 days from Santiago if this information is true. I really have tried but have been unable to find anything official from Princess about future drydocks, Luckily I do not have a big sum of money invested in this cruise. I have just been patiently waiting for Princess to cancel this one toooooooooooo.

hpeabody Posted August 7, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I am booked on the World Cruise Jan, 2023 on the Island Princess, unfortunately (UGH! Princess' most awful ship since they hacked her) I can only hope that they create an IC (International Cafe) like they did on her former twin, the Coral during this next maybe drydock, if this information is true.

I too am wondering why it is taking Princess so long to cancel these cruises. Celebrity announced that their South America season was cancelled almost two weeks ago due to conditions there. And the Falklands banned large cruise ships from coming there during the upcoming season more than two months ago. Thinking that they are going to be announcing new cruises for the Diamond when they cancel the current ones but geesh, it would be nice for them to at least give those of us who are booked on these cruises a heads-up that they aren't going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabin1 Posted August 8, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Sorry would someone please explain what happens during a wetdock? I have no clue Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted August 8, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 8, 2021 1 hour ago, rabin1 said: Sorry would someone please explain what happens during a wetdock? I have no clue Thank you A dry dock requires the ship to be completely out of the water so that maintenance can be done to the part of the ship that is normally under water. This could include repainting the hull, propeller maintenance, etc. Of course at the same time maintenance can be done on outside areas that are always above the water line as well as inside work. A wet dock keeps the ship in the water and will do the maintenance listed above except for what would happen outside below the water line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John99 Posted August 8, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 8, 2021 7 hours ago, rabin1 said: Sorry would someone please explain what happens during a wetdock? I have no clue Thank you Hi robin1 -- good question. Below is the last dry dock for 2 ships -- Grand Princess and the Sapphire Princess. This should give some idea on what happens during a dry dock. Typically, the longer the dry dock (7/10 days versus 20 days) more maintenance and/or upgrades will be performed. Grand Princess (Grand Class) - Dry dock 2019 (Portland, Oregon) Reupholster lounge chairs in Explorer's, Crooner's, Wheelhouse, Crown Grill, Library, and Snookers. New information screens throughout elevator lobbies New bathtubs in staterooms New sofas for Explorer's and Crooner's Replace Mini-suite sleeper sofas Replace astro turf deck covering on upper decks Replace Horizon Court carpeting and tiles Replace Wheelhouse Dance floor Refurbish elevator interiors Repair/Refinish beverage station cabinets in Horizon Court New carpeting in the dining rooms and Crooner's. New carpeting in hallways Refurbish swimming pools General maintenance and upkeep Painted hull of ship New propellers New hot tub tiling around both Calypso and Neptune pools Ocean Medallion wiring install (not active until subsequent dry-dock in 2022) SHIP SYSTEMS: Inspection and repair of propellers, exchangers, propulsion as well as hot and cold water lines. Sapphire Princess - 2018 dry dock (2-week project, completed in Singapore): New bow livery All cabins were upgraded with the custom-made Princess Luxury beds. Renovated the wellness center (Fitness Center and Lotus Spa ) Renovated all retail shops Renovated corridors and hallways. Princess Theatre (indoor movie lounge) received new LED screen (15x5 m / 49x16 ft). Theater's show programs have been upgraded with the new production show like "Bravo". The musical is offered on formal nights. A new category cabin (Club-Class Mini-Suite) was introduced with VIP amenities and reserved -dining area. Price-in exclusive amenities also include expedited dinner seating, priority services (embarkation/disembarkation), complimentary wine, expanded menu, premium bathrobes. SHIP SYSTEMS: Inspection and repair of propellers, exchangers, propulsion as well as hot and cold water lines. Hope this helps. John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we will be on the last cruise before drydock, and first cruise after, as we are on the May 14 sailing. Not overly excited about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
