Is the QE in Drydock and if so What's Being Done?

[richstowe]

I looked for info on whether the Queen Elizabeth is currently in drydock . Facebook QE group says the ship is in a Singapore dockyard for 16 days. Any info ? It would be nice if true .

Edited to say

Updates would be nice . Cruisetimetables.com has a gap between cruises from March 17th to April 3rd .

There was another thread about that in January:

 

https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/2902110-queen-elizabeth-refit-2023/

 

Rumours at the time were:

 

• From 18 March to 2 April.
• Hull clean, inspection and repaint.
• Maintenance of engineering systems.
• Carpet cleaning and replacement of worn out bedding.

 

Current AIS shows her in Sembawang dry dock, on the SIngapore side of the Malaysia border.

@Host Hattie, not sure if you want to merge these two threads?

Thank you . I'm OK either way . I was hoping for more reno's to the ship as those listed are mostly mechanical and not sprucing up changes . Updates would be good .

Looks like QE is getting new launderette machines during the Singapore drydock.
