seagopher Posted July 6, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Are there any plans to put the Millennium in dry-dock anytime soon? I have read some reports that it is needed. I am taking a cruise this October and was planning on TA next December on the Millennium. But maybe not on the TA if it does not go into dry-dock. Any information would be appreciated.

idssms Posted July 6, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2006 The Millie is going to Southampton UK after the March 18th 07 departure from FLL. I think it will go into drydock somewhere in that area for a few weeks. What is going to take place I dunno. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiebeth Posted July 7, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Dear Seagopher, I just returned from a 12 night Med. cruise on the Millennium and had a terrific time. The ports and weather were unbeatable. We had a wonderful time on the ship as well but must admit that the staterrooms are in need of some updating. We were in a Royal Suite and my parents were in a CC class stateroom. The soft goods could stand to be replaced. However, in terms of drydock, I wouldn't count on it in terms of stateroom refurbishment. It is my understanding that this should be happening on an ongoing basis and dry dock is mostly a time to work on mechanical type issues. Hope this helps.

idssms Posted July 7, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 7, 2006 This spring after her 3/18 transat she will be entering drydock for the installation of a diesel aux. I heard abt the dry dock but I didnt know what it was for. I also heard the Millie is getting new bedding and sheets but again I dont know when maybe in conjunction with this drydock. I will find out in Nov when I take her east. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-legs Posted July 8, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2006 :) Hi, The March 07 drydock is sort of a special one: they're installing a diesel auxiliary power plan. The other three "M" class will follow, then the ''Radiance'' class (RCL). Millie has had a '' regular'' drydock last fall, nov'04 before coming back to NorthAmerica. Of course, while she's in drydock, for whatver reason, other routine maintenance//replacement// refurbishment work can and does take place. When the ship is idled, thus earning no $$$, they might as well maximize that idle time with all the repairs they can think of as needed and affordable ( read: what the bean counters have allowed).

idssms Posted July 8, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Here are some pictures of the Millie in drydock last November 05. The only ones that exist of this drydock. Seeing a ship this size up close wouild be a lifetime event. Wish I could have seen it live.

I dont want another one of my cruises canceled or postponed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
