blueridgemama Posted August 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The dates for my March Panama Canal cruise were changed and pushed back a week because of her going into dry dock. Does anyone know when the dry dock is and what is being done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted August 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Drydocks are primarily for the required/routine inspection and maintenance of the hull, thrusters, stabilizers, propellers, etc. They also do major engine/powerplant/mechanical maintenance work that cannot be done whilst in service. Any hotel side work (replacement of carpets, fabrics, etc) is simply a by-product of this down time. I would not expect any significant changes to her interior arrangements or décor.

Rare VMax1700 Posted August 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Dry dock is either Feb 18th - March 4th or March 25th to April 9th. I am not 100% sure which date yet, but there are gaps in her itinerary on both those dates. Edited August 17, 2022 by VMax1700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can find nothing listed for April 4th to 9th at the minute?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFNavigator Posted August 17, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2022 2 hours ago, CruiserBruce said: OK. Those make much more sense. Sort of surprised to see the Eurodam going into drydock again so soon. It just had a drydock in France in March 2021 before resuming cruising. Meanwhile, its sister ship, Nieuw Amsterdam, hasn't had a full drydock since 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted August 17, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Is it a drydock or a wet dock? If it is short, I think it is a wet dock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justluv2cruisewithhubby Posted November 10, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Will the dry dock include remodeling the Pinnacle suite? The PS looks aged with the gold sinks and furniture could use some refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
