Can't wait to hear your reports on what was and wasn't done. I hope some of the ship worker or crew start posting some pictures of the work in progress. I'll do my best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 190 miles separates the Canal from Gaza and the Edge could be a nice big target for Hamas rockets. But it is not my call and I am sure Celebrity would not go there if there were any safety issues. Edited October 20, 2023 by terrydtx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We board her in 36 days in Singapore - Starting to get excite. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around 17 hours flights - I use to work in Singapore but I don't handle jet lag as easy as I once did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope there is seating at the bar. Getting a drink from the bar is not the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is not my call and I am sure Celebrity would not go there if there were any safety issues. An attack on a cruise ship in the canal would block the canal to all traffic, which would have another devastating effect on Egypt's economy, making Egypt into an enemy of Hamas, so why would they do that? Hamas would then be surrounded, and it would likely bring the US actively into the war. Lose lose all around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. The stools have been removed from the bar on Millennium. However, there is a high top table and chairs by the glass window next to the door to the outside deck. I simply took one of the chairs and pulled it up to the bar and enjoyed a cocktail or two while talking with the bartender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea of the distance of their longest range missile? (I'll give you a hint---a lot less than 190 miles, with little accuracy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drydock include sandblasting and usually painting the hull if needed. I'm sure the barnacles will be removed as I understand that is a requirement to sail in New Zealand waters. That is pure hearsay and welcome correction. They usually also service and rebuild the azipods and then they do sea trial before re-entering service. I wish more pictures would be posted. Normally the Captain and the Crew are out shooting pictures as well as some of the staff at the Dry Dock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
