Divina dry dock

I read on Marine link (and someone mentioned it here in a thread on c.c.) that Divina will be in the Grand Bahama Ship Yard this year for maintenance. Does anyone have anymore information about this, ie how long and what might be being done?

We are on our first MSC cruise with her November 5th. She looks beautiful, I love the fact that she is a more European ship and we are looking forward to it very much. :)

Looking at MSC's itineraries,,,it appears that 3 weeks are blacked out from September 17th through October 7th. I would have to think that's when MSC Divina will be in dry dock getting freshened up,,,:)

PERFECT !! We are booked on the October 8th sailing. Our first MSC voyage - then on to Seaside 3/2018.

MSC rarely give out info on what will be done during their dry docks!’

You will probably not even notice what was done.

Is this likely to have any impact on those disembarking on 17th September?

Not at all Jewels,,,MSC Divina will most likely sail to Grand Bahama the following day,,,

I really don't know what they need to do. 2 weeks ago the ship was spotless.

MSC website indicates a new deck plan with Wellness Experience cabins, but not valid until Summer 2017, so may be a later dry dock.

Ships usually discharge their passengers and sail for Grand Bahama by noon. EM

I am willing to bet that the low hanging chandeliers over the tables near the windows in the Golden Jazz Lounge will be removed. The points on the bottom are a defiantly hazard to anyone standing up from the chairs.

They also need to do something with the surface near the Solarium Pool,,,it is extremely slippery in parts of that area!!

Found this on Cruise Deck plans.com

In summer of 2017, MSC will convert 6 inside cabins on deck 12, 2 oceanview cabins on deck 5 and 14 balcony cabins on decks 11, 12 and 13 to be part of the new Wellness Experience class. We will update the deck plans to reflect those changes.

Just disembarked the lovely Divina. Talked to many crew members about the upcoming dry dock. Two of the main items to be addressed/fixed is a water issue (no hot water at times, low or no water pressure often) and uneven air conditioner output (one side of the YC was cold, the other warm...unfortunately, I was on the 'warm' side). She will also be freshened up and other maintenance issues tackled.

They are not adding cabins , same cabin with different amenities.

Hi Again :), was it the port or starboard side that was warm? Did you find the temperature differences in both the cabin and the top sail lounge? We are booked deck 15 starboard side, but there are still cabins available on both sides of the ship if you feel switching sides is warranted. TIA :)

I was on the Divina May 7 to May 14, and never had a problem with heat/cool or water. We were portside in 16013.

Hi there! I was in 15031. I mentioned the warmth to our butler and he said they have issues with the coldness on that side but not the other. I've been in 15028 6 times and it has never been warm. Granted, I like it very cool in my cabin. I'll be upstairs in 16033 on Saturday so I'll find out if that side is also warm upstairs. No problems in Top Sail at all. However, I found the theatre to be very warm every night. Never needed a sweater or a shawl on the Divina! We did not have hot water on two occasions. But that has happened to me every cruise on the Divina at least once.

Just in 15021 & no problem.
