Photos of Ventura entering dry dock in Hamburg

[littlesteelo]

For those who may not have seen, here is a great collection of photos of Ventura in Hamburg, before entering the dry dock and unloading lifeboats, and during the docking process: http://www.madle-fotowelt.de/fotogalerien/schiffe/kreuzfahrtschiffe/ventura.html

 

Note that the photos are in reverse order by date.

 

It will be nice to see what she looks like after the refit. I felt that there were areas in need of some attention back in 2011, so hopefully she will be looking great in a few weeks time.

 

I would imagine they are properly repairing the crack as well, seeing as the current repair is very much a temporary one, consisting of a lot of bolted on bars and plates, and rubber stuff to stop the glass from falling out.

She was late going into dry dock. Should have gone in Sunday but didn't get in until 2:00am this morning. The wind and tides were against her so she had to stay at the cruise terminal for a few days.

Is that the B&V shipyard in hamburg ?

I recall early in 2001, I was on the Royal Olympic ship "Voyager" and it had to divert to hamburg for what was described as "Minor" repairs.

 

A lovely port, and a really beautiful city.

Have many photos of my few days there, must scan them and post some time.

 

We walked through the tunnell, which seems to go for miles !

Thanks for posting those, I'm going on the Ventura on 27th April so looking forward to seeing what she looks like.

Thanks Matty.

 

It was one of the few cruises I did on the Royal Olympic company ships. Now its just a place in cruising history.

 

Hamburg is a nice city,
