Clarea Posted January 22, 2014 #827 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Can someone please refresh my memory here. When is Allure scheduled to go into dry dock? Feb 2014? I'm not sure the date for the dry dock has been publically announced. Probably sometime in 2015 which would be the year she turns 5 years old.

Rare xpcdoojk Posted January 22, 2014 #828 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Why am I under the impression that she won't do a 2015 dry dock because of her Azipod change out this year????:confused: If they put her in dock to fix the azipod, won't they do the other things that she will need too? :confused: jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaO Posted January 22, 2014 #829 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) If I remember correctly, when we were on the Allure, Capt Johnny said the February dry dock was to repair the Azipod, and the ship is still on schedule for the regular dry dock in 2015. And... the Allure will be leaving on Feb 23rd for the repairs... returning in one week. Edited January 22, 2014 by LindaO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springfire Posted January 22, 2014 #832 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We are scheduled for the first cruise after the dry dock, March 2, 2014. Hopefully one week is enough time to fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng23 Posted January 22, 2014 #833 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The Allure will go in the shipyard for one week next month to repair the azipod that is not working. No other work is planned. The Allure's 5 year maintenance dry docking is still planned for 2015 in Europe. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One week is no where near long enough to complete all the work required for the 5 year maintenance dry dock.

bcsfd279 Posted January 22, 2014 #836 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It is scheduled for w/e March 1st. I know this because we were supposed to be on this sailing, but was offered the oasis with credits applied.

Rare xpcdoojk Posted January 22, 2014 #837 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I know that what you are saying is what I believed before my Oasis cruise, but I met an Austrian guy who fell in love with the flowrider, and he wanted to do a TA on a Oasis ship after his back to back cruise on the Oasis. I told him that I figured that the Allure would be doing a refurb sometime in either 2015 or 2016. He then went and hunted down the loyalty ambassador and was told in certain terms that the Allure will not be doing that TA in either 2015 or 2016. Of course, things you are told by Austrian's in the flowrider line may or may not be with any relation to the truth....:D That said, some of the people posting here generally speak truthfully, but I am from the show me state and until I see the Allure TA for booking, I remain completely skeptical of everything I read here and have Austrians tell me...:eek: jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim1 Posted January 22, 2014 #838 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The Allure is going into WET dock in Freeport for a week to fix the Azipod problem. I don't know how they will fix it when it's still in the water but I do know that the wet dock in Freeport is being prepped for her arrival. They are having to dig it out further as the ship is too big even for the wet dock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this because we were supposed to be on this sailing, but was offered the oasis with credits applied. Sent from my ADR6300 using Forums mobile app The March 2 sailing of the Allure is available to book... so if all goes well... she will be ready!! When we talked with Capt Johnny about it... he said all the parts will be waiting and although it seems as if it is a complicated process they have it well planned. :) I asked if they would film it... and he said at that time there was no plans for that... but we can hope!!

LBumb Posted January 22, 2014 #843 Share Posted January 22, 2014 they will get it done in time for scheduled cruise, too much bucks at stake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilyclub Posted January 22, 2014 Author #844 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I was on the Allure's bridge last Saturday and saw the display showing the center pod is still free wheeling. The whole thing is being downplayed onboard, though they describe it as a wet/dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmith4675 Posted January 22, 2014 #849 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Was hoping to sail on Allure next May but apparently it will be at drydock for maintaince for a couple weeks... darn! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaeG Posted January 23, 2014 #850 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So it appears that the bad bearing on the Allure has made the ship later than the new norm because of a lifeboat problem in Nassau. We just pulled into St Thomas where we where suppose to be at 1100. Due to the incident in Nassau and some very strong head winds we are 3 hours late. Every stateroom is given a amount of OBC (2 of us in a L2 got $500, friends in a D1 got $250). We will leave at our regular time today (630 pm). http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1954227&page=2 I sailed on 5th Jan and we had the same issue and got int St Thomas at 1pm. I wasn't overly happy by any means!!!! Very disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
