Bases5 Posted July 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I see that the Destiny has no sailing for a couple week between San Juan and Miami. (Sept 2008) Is it sold out or going to dry dock. I tried to search and all it kept talking about was it multi million dollar refurbishment in 2005 Does anybody know if it going to dry dock and if so do you know what will happen to her?

MyImagination Posted July 12, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yes, she will be in drydock. I did a search and found this thread. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=724080&highlight=destiny+renovation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted July 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Let's hope Destiny really does make dry dock soon so the engineers can get in there and do some maintenance on those diesel injectors! Last few times she came into Barbados she was smoking badly! :cool: These pics speak for themselves. ______________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted July 16, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Dry dock soon...if only to eliminate the sooty flambeau problem! This pic taken today,Barbados, Wed. July 16th. while she was comfortably alongside, engines idling!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illin Posted July 18, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2008 And evidently one of the new "deckside theaters". Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianEh! Posted July 18, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Let's hope Destiny really does make dry dock soonso the engineers can get in there and do some maintenance on those diesel injectors! Last few times she came into Barbados she was smoking badly! :cool: These pics speak for themselves. ______________________________________________ Come that smoke is a feature, keeps the bugs away and makes sure other ships know where she is you know just incase you cant see a 101,000 Ton giant White ship infront of you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bases5 Posted July 26, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted July 26, 2008 was wondering if they plan to add the water works that have put on the Fantasy class ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcielago Posted July 30, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I also read somewhere that they are redoing the bedding. The first sailing after dry dock will be a one time 6 day cruise to Key West, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios. ( Sept 21 ). After that it will alternate between 4 and five day cruises from its new home port in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissyBTX Posted July 30, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I sure hope they fix the air conditioning (or lack of). We had no a/c in our cabin a couple years ago and it was brutal. There were a lot of complaints about this back then. Some cabins had a/c and others didn't. Or have they already fixed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamasue Posted July 30, 2008 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2008 We're going on her for her first cruise after dry dock.... should be interesting to see the changes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted July 30, 2008 #15 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Man, thats a lot of smoke! One of the crew told me that they usually incinerate the trash at night so the heavier smoke doesn't bother the passengers. I can't imagine why they would be doing that in port during the day, so it's gotta be the engines. Maybe she's got engine sludge, someone should get her some Castrol.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bases5 Posted July 30, 2008 Author #16 Share Posted July 30, 2008 What do you think the chances are that they add there stake house during this dry dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniGail Posted July 31, 2008 #17 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi Bases- I researched the Destiny drydock seeing if they would be adding a specialty restaurant as well, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen... We loved the specialty restaurant on the Miracle, it was one of our favorite meals EVER! I wish they'd add this to more of their ships, especially on the shorter itineraries. See you in 76 days (you can't get away from my countdowns even on the non-roll call thread :D ) Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
