Yes,  that is correct but Royal does not publish a schedule.

Sorry, haven't kept up with drydocks other than Oasis class. Of you see a 6 week gap in their itineraries then you know there is a drydock.

Some sites like cruisedeckplans have some info on dry docks.

Explorer was in dry dock earlier this year. I’d be amazed if she’s in again any time soon (although IMO the last one was just a lick of paint).

Explorer's next one would then be in about 2 1/2 years time from her last one

Explorer 9/25

Jewel 4/24

Freedom 4/25

 

These are the statutory dates, there can be some slip a month or two either side of these dates.

There's a break in Jewels schedule from April 20, 2024 when she finishes her TA in Southhampton to her first sailing that departs on may 15 from Amsterdam,  That's her taken care of. 

 

Freedom has a break in her schedule from Jan 6 to Feb 16 2025.

 

Explorer won't be possibly be known until the next set of itineraries is released.

I hope they have old information.  
They show Voyager going Jan 2024.   Our cruise is mid Feb, and Jan and Feb 2024 are solid cruises.    I assume that they don't cancel cruises for drydock?

Not this close in. Updating of the web sites is an ongoing chore which some do better than others.

From the DNV website, their bottom survey (dry dock) is due in Oct 2024, and since this is also their "main class renewal" period, that means they could not do this early in Jan.  The range for the class renewal is July to October 2024, so any dry dock outside that range "doesn't count", and they would need to do another one during the required range. I believe that RCI "suspended" their class certificates during COVID, so the class renewal period slipped, and the Jan date may have been from pre-covid.

Good news for the Jewel. I am on the TA in April 2024. However, that means she will probably be in the same state she was back in late 2021 where she needed a lick of paint here and there.

Thanks for the post about her.

 

Mick.

We'll be on Radiance this September/October for a Panama Canal cruise from Vancouver to LA, then LA to Tampa. Someone told me that the carpets smelled bad, so, hopefully, maybe carpets, some furniture and bedding will be replaced!

I remember seeing someone say that they had seen rolls of carpet on the Radiance. Not sure where they were storing them that someone would see them.

Explore has nothing for October 2025
