KPfromCT Posted December 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Looking at the Freedom, 6 night, on April 13th. As it currently stands, this will be the last cruise before the drydock. I know these dates keep changing, so nothing is for sure right now. But, if they do, in fact, start the drydock on the 19th, should we expect any pre-construction work on our cruise? I just am worried that they are going to start tearing the ship apart on day 4 or 5.:eek::eek::eek: The price for this cruise is great, and I am wondering if that is why. Any insight, or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alrichards4003 Posted December 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I took the next to last one before Glory went into dry dock and did not notice any construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizinman Posted December 1, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Several times, construction noise everywhere you turn . My favorite memory was the Destiny 7AM being woken what sounded like a sledge hammer coming for breakfast :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerin Posted December 1, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2013 No, but have read other reviews of people in the situation. Many mention things such as what Cruizinman referenced above. A few also mentioned areas(including bars and pools) being closed because of construction beginning. Also read about lessened service as crew are pretty much done and also assigned to help with re-model(such as moving items from spaces). I'd avoid a last cruise before dry dock if you can.

Aplmac Posted December 1, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) I'd avoid a last cruise before dry dock if you can. If you're in Manufacturing or in Constructionand understand the necessities involved, you could probably tolerate it. I should think these cruises might be discounted, too? .

But not worth the aggravation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do not remember any construction noises. I will say that our service on that cruise was just ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted December 1, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Anyone know what will be the last cruise for the Dream before she is moved to New Orleans? Just wondering how the last cruise before a repositioning might be effected. Edited December 1, 2013 by GTO-Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there is a significant employee change around drydocks. Not everybody but a pretty good percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdevine10 Posted December 1, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I hadnt even considered they would start construction before the cruise ended :eek: We are already booked on that same cruise the last cruise before drydock. It was an amazing price. I thought the price was so good as they just added the dates back to selling less than 5 months before sailing. Oh well, we are just going to have to roll with it! I already paid a change fee once for this cruise and I dont want to burn another $200 :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno9065 Posted December 1, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I sailed the Liberty the week before her dry dock for the 2.0 upgrades. No construction at all the week I was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
