Why is the Mediterrna still in Freeport?

[boop3]

Hi All!

I have been watching the web cam on the Med and it looks like it has been in the ship yard in Freeport Bahamas for over a week. Is this a scheduled stop to spruce up the ship or is there some kind of problem?

 

Just wondering :p I am starting to get excited for my cruise on 2-4-07.

she's in dock to get fixed up, cleaned, repaired for 2 weeks to get ready for her caribbean cruise season! congrats to all thoes on the 12/17 med cruise that will get a nice clean ship!

Thanks Joe :) for the speedy reply!

I couldn't be happier about the major fix up/clean up! Especially after the recent outbreaks of norovirus! We are boarding on Dec. 23 - should still be shiny and clean!

We were told it was for a prop. And the ship was immaculate before it went in, believe me. The beds were new and the ship sparkled stem to stern. You will be happy...........

[sophiecruiser]

New beds? That's great! The hard thin matresses are gone?

It looks like the Mediterannea is moving today... But to where? It's not supposed to be in Miami till Saturday morning.

We're going on her on 1/28/07 - cool that she's had a cleanup!!

It's really freaky. If you look at the map on the webcam page, it looks like it is going in circles around Freeport.

[sophiecruiser]

Maybe testing out the new prop?

[joetrizeo]

What's going on that you think they moved the web cam?

 

Ya think the crew is enjoying a nice day at see while the prop is being tested?

 

just speculation here i know.

 

anyone on the last cruise hear if while the ship is laid up for 2 weeks if the crew stays onboard or gets a break?

[DaveB]

I am interested because I am on the 12/16 - 23 sailing. I'll find out when I get on, I guess.

[joetrizeo]

thanks dave. make sure you ask if the crew had a break or what. i'm interested just for general knowledge.

I bet is was a matter of them getting repaired early, and just wasting time out at sea so they didn't have to pay for additional dockage time in Freeport. Looks like they are in MIA now.
