Spartan Tartan Posted May 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Anyone know what the officers and crew would have been doing while they await the removal of barnacles? I understand ship maintenance would be up there, but what about servers, wait staff, spa and shop employees. Have they had this time off? Where was the dry dock located to remove barnacles?

disgirl Posted May 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I hope they have been training, clearing quarantine and sanitizing the ship after all the covid cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry dock was in Portland, Oregon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alakegirl Posted May 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2022 They do a lot of extra cleaning, inventory maintenance, training, and some well-deserved time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they're stocking some decent wines for the PBP and training their crew members especially those serving on the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2022 The crew on the ship wouldn’t have much to do with ordering wine, most of those decisions are made in Miami. But if any pallets arrive and need to be unpacked they would be doing that. Portland is not a usual port so I actually wouldn’t expect much restocking to be taking place.

lovecruzin Posted May 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Probably doing the same thing they did during the many months they were on board with no guests while anchored. Still working and training but with more breaks and down time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wine selection is lacking you can always bring your own. What one person considers “decent” another person may not like at all.

Rare 1025cruise Posted May 29, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2022 For a single week dry dock, its not worth having the crew leave. They'll be feeding the dry dock crew that are staying onboard, etc. However, they will probably have some downtime, and hopefully the ability to to go ashore for a bit.

Wine shelves in Portland stocked well for local wines. Lots of items out of stock for imported wine/liquor and small US distillers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted May 29, 2022 #19 Share Posted May 29, 2022 When the ships were out of service they kept a skeleton crew on board. They needed staff to maintain the engines, and do all kinds of work keeping the interiors operational, like flushing all the toilets on a regular schedule. Prior to the ships’ returns to service, crew began arriving to get them ready. Since then, some crew have worked seven or eight months continuously with no time off. During this week out off service they would still be working every day but with fewer duties. As an aside, tipped crew receive some compensation in lieu of gratuities when there are no guests on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title of the thread is: What have crew been doing for the cancelled 22 May to 29 May Hubbard Glacier. It's easy to miss titles, I often do it myself.
