AIMS312 Posted April 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2005 from August 28th through September 10th? Could it possibly be going to dry or wet dock? I guess if that was the case it would be good for us becasue we are sailing on Sept. 11th. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuyi64 Posted April 15, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2005 The Conquest has not been dry-docked since it started cruising out of New Orleans in November 2002. Most maritime insurance policies require cruise ships to be dry-docked twice within a five-year period in order for the ship to remain insurable. The Conquest is long overdue for a drydocking if it's to meet that insurance requirement. Maybe while it's in drydock they'll go ahead and upgrade its wireless internet capabilities to cover the entire ship like on the Valor. Who knows, they might even install those new facial-recognition photo kiosks that Carnival is supposed to be rolling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our waiter said she was headed to drydock for two weeks in late summer when we were onboard in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiminyCricket Posted April 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2005 When we made our reservation for 1/1/06 we asked when she would be in dry dock and were told August 05. They weren't sure if any changes were being made, just routine maintainence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIMS312 Posted April 18, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Does this mean that we will get a new, fresh round of staff, also? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlb1357 Posted April 18, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Does this mean that we will get a new, fresh round of staff, also? :) Some will be on vacation but according to our waiter most of the same staff all stay on board and do the cleaning. He said he had lucked out and was starting his vacation during that time. he said it is not fun to be on ship during dry dock as there is no air conditioning and it is very hot especially when you are working hard doing cleaning.
