UpcountryTravelers Posted January 9, 2012 #52 Share Posted January 9, 2012 For those that use Google Earth you can download an app that tracks cruiseships.Go to. ******************** and download theplugin for Google Earth. I'd like to do that. A little more information would be helpful, as it is not apparent on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kath00 Posted January 9, 2012 #54 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Fun site! Thanks for posting. So I see the Carnival Splendor, Carnival Inspiration, Disney Wonder and Oosterdam. Are there really no more ships left on the West Coast????? This is so sad! Where is the Spirit today? And now Disney is leaving too in December. :eek::( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spingal Posted January 9, 2012 #55 Share Posted January 9, 2012 She will be passing off shore from San Francisco soon. (Gotta love the "ship finder" app on my iPhone.) I gotta get that app!!! Thanks for letting me know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highheel girl Posted January 9, 2012 #56 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yes today. They just returned from a Mexico cruise and the ship will leave for Victoria. So no more cruises and the ship is officially in dry dock. Just answering the OP's post. The ships not in dry dock until its in dry dock. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77Network Posted January 9, 2012 #58 Share Posted January 9, 2012 One of the interesting duties for crew is fire watch.. with welders everywhere there will be crew members whose sole job is to make sure no spark escapes. This was per the third officer's chat with us on Sapphire in December. Watching to make sure sparks don't start a fire is one of the interesting duties? What do they consider the boring ones to be? Is someone assigned to watching paint dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spingal Posted January 9, 2012 #59 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just answering the OP's post.The ships not in dry dock until its in dry dock. :p If you ask the folks at Princess they will tell you it is in dry dock. There are no more cruises and work has begun inside. That is the start of the dry dock work. Granted it isn't out of the water yet. So if you insist .........

Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 9, 2012 #60 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Carnival Spirit is in drydock in San Francisco. Is that the dry dock for the Australian Makeover? She is due to be "Aussiefied" , before being sent to Australia later this year for permanent cruising in the Land Downunder.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flourpot Posted January 9, 2012 #61 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Sapphire Princess has begun its drydock renovations! I just found this article from Princess about Sapphire's dry dock (Posted 1/9/12) detailing the planned renovations to the Princess ship: http://www.princess.com/news/article...ticleId=na1203 It looks like there will at least be photos, if not video updates, of the transformation. "Throughout the drydock, Princess will be featuring a daily photo highlight of the transformation on its social media outlets, including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Google+. " Princess just added their first drydock picture to Facebook (below)! To see daily updates of the renovation, go here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flourpot Posted January 9, 2012 #64 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I thought it was pretty neat. I don't know if they'll be posting videos like they did with the Grand Princess, but I'm guessing that if they do, they'll be found on the Princess Facebook page as well.

yyjguy Posted January 10, 2012 #69 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sapphire is running a little later than forcast, and will now be arriving off Victoria at 09:15 Tuesday morning, and should enter the actual dry dock about 10:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
