Rowan555 Posted November 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2007 We'll be on the Fantasy next October 4th, and I'm beginning to get a bit paranoid that perhaps the waterslides won't be open by that sailing. Was it the Inspiration that was already refurbished? How long did it take for everything to get up and running? My daughter will literally DIE if those slides are there, but not open. That's the main reason we booked another cruise on the Fantasy, and now I'm worried I booked it too close to drydock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariemorgan Posted November 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I think the first dry dock.. Inspiration everything was fully functional 1 - 2 weeks after dry dock.. I don't know about the Imagination how soon after dry dock everything was opened (is it still in dry dock?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rirruto Posted November 30, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2007 The Imagination was fully operational from what I read when it came out of drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernCaribbean Posted November 30, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I think there was a design problem:confused: with Inspiration that was corrected when they did Imagination. From an engineering standpoint it difficult to know what you are getting into until everything is actually put in place and someone says..UH-OH :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KroozLov'r Posted November 30, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2007 We were on the first post dry dock cruise on Inspiration. They said the only reason for the delay in finishing the refurb was that the weather prevented them from laying new decking in the water park. Work progressed well while we were out to sea (Gulf).

Rowan555 Posted November 30, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks. I'll be nervous until I hear reports that all is well post-drydock, but this helps me feel better. We booked a tentative NCL Spirit cruise for late November, but if we do that one we'll have to cancel the Fantasy in October, and both my kids are saying, "NO WAY" to that. NCL Spirit is a bit cheaper per day, but we won't know until we take our first NCL cruise (in two days - woohoo) which we will want to do next fall.
