By the way these pictures are all taken today 3/29/06. Here is a container being taken off the ship.

I see these pictures and how far it seems they have to go (how much seems to be left to be done) and look at the calendar seeing what 3 days left and I really feel there is no way they will have her finished in time. Putting the Lifeboats back onto the ship will take at least half a day I believe.

I remember watching a show on the travel channel sometime ago about a ship in dry dock being re-done and it was amazing what they got done with 48 hours left.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

You would be surprised what they can finish in a short amount of time, as long as they get out on friday they should be in LA by Sunday. The fact that they are taking the containers off is a good sign that they are wrapping it up. As for the life boats you have to realize that there are a thousand or so crew members and and other contractors that work nearly around the clock to finish these ships so once she is back in the water they will get them back on very quickly.

I got this photo of the Star just a few minutes ago. Looks like they are almost done!

[jerhardt]

LOL, good one!

[mkdawnt]

WOW that is a great picture!!! Can't wait to see it in the water :)

[RYPERO]

Nice one :)

[melika091900]

:)

[judyf]

Cute! But she's still not in the water.

 

I agree that they will work very hard and fast to get her in the water in time for the 4/2 sailing.

Cuizer2 - That was so mean :-)! But, really, it is a little nerve wracking knowing that I am supposed to get on her on Sunday and she is still sitting in San Fran.

That's too cute!!!:)

Just wanted to ask you guys going on the Star before some of the rest of us.

Come back to the boards and post review and photo's for us and have a super nice cruise.

Thanks,

Marcy:)

Most of the ships leave the drydock about 1.5 days before they sail from LA, I have never seen one be late yet

[Cruisegoer]

Rypero, what is your background that you have experience in this subject and ship drydocking deadlines?

[vette]

Rypero,

 

Thanks for the comforting words.

I believe that is why they call it a DRYdock. :D
