Liberty of the Seas - early arrival & late departure - today

[SRV FAN]

I have searched & searched & cannot find a topic on my question. 

 

Can anyone shed any light on why the Liberty came in around 1:00 am & is scheduled to depart late today in Galveston? My kiddos are sailing today & they got an email the other day saying they will depart late today as there will be divers preforming work on her...Is something wrong with the ship? 

 

TIA

If there are divers working on the ship, then I'd say there's a good chance some maintenance is required. 

 

Does it make a difference what specific type of maintenance?

This isn't the first time this year that the Liberty was delayed due to divers doing maintenance. It's now the third one that I'm aware of.

 

It happened to me on the August 4 sailing. We didn't depart until 2:00am the next morning.

Any updates from those onboard as to what the actual problem is? 
 

We were on the Liberty sailing two years ago that got re-scheduled to two nights in Nassau for maintenance instead of original route - just wondered if this was something that might be in our future again on upcoming cruises.

It might if they can’t fix it in Galveston. We had to go to Nassau two years ago for divers to work on seals.
