Fuzzyape Posted November 4, 2016 #27 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I was on a cruise on the Regal Nov 2014. Attached is a link. The dry dock looks to be routine. https://sites.google.com/site/princesscruisesfaq/ships/fleet-drydock-schedule Pam Thanks for the link, Pam. Most useful (even though things could change and it may not be 100% accurate [according to their disclosure]). Counting down the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseintoheaven Posted November 4, 2016 #28 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Wrong. The Regal entered service in 2015! She's just a few months old! Sailed on her for the first time November of 2014.....and again November 2015......and will again in February 2017 and October 2017.....my favorite Princess ship (so far anyway:)....[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellmo Posted February 17, 2017 #29 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The Regal Princess is going into dry dock in Hamburg, Germany on April 17, 2017 after its TransAtlantic crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan09 Posted February 17, 2017 #30 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Looking forward to boarding after the dry dock! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinFinsUp Posted February 17, 2017 #31 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm guessing that they will likely also be doing installation of the cabling and other major prep for the Medallion class program due to debut Nov 2017. In Nov there is only a one or two day break between cruises to do the rest of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimcht Posted February 19, 2017 #32 Share Posted February 19, 2017 since the royal was in dry dock last fall, they had a movie one afternoon on our just finished royal cruise describing what they did, it was rather interesting. they mentioned that many things were under a 3 year warnanttee so they needed to get that work done, as well as new carpet, general sprucing up and as mentioned working on the bottom, painting the sea witch, etc. they mentioned that the same things, including opening up the middle stair case, will soon be done on the regal.

spearmint Posted February 20, 2017 #33 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That will be sisters as both the Royal and Majestic will be sailing with the Sea Witch logo on their bows before the Regal's dry dock. Sent from my iPad using Forums How sad. I thought Norwegian ships look rather tacky, but the Royal is just plain ugly. Instead of a Sea Witch, it looks like an angry squid.... or a sort of Rorchac (sp) pattern from someone splattering a vat of paint across the bow!

Rare patrickmoran Posted February 20, 2017 #34 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Both Royal and Regal had/having a dry dock a little earlier than normal. Primarily due to warranty issues on the ships. In addition, the Royal had the center stairwell finished for passenger use. We were on its 1st sailing after the dry dock. It took them an extra week before opening the stairwell for use. Adds to the convenience of the ship. Regal will get its center stairwell finished for passenger use in its dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
