btown Posted May 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2007 We took a ride to castle island yesterday and we saw the Dawn coming in to Black Falcon pier. She was a beautiful site! It was a nice day, high 70s and sunny. I hope the crew enjoys their time in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricron Posted May 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Any chances someone might post some photos of the Dawn is Boston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverthought Posted May 28, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2007 You can go to ncl.com and click on the Dawn, then her live cam and see it sitting there in Boston. All you will see is the front (is that the bow?) I don't know of any other pics available, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novusordomundi Posted May 28, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I will be sailing on the Dawn's first cruise post-drydock...does anyone know what can be expected? New carpets? New paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricron Posted May 28, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I will be sailing on the Dawn's first cruise post-drydock...does anyone know what can be expected? New carpets? New paint? I expect some repainting and recarpeting will get done, but the primary reason the dry dock was scheduled now was to repair its azipods. It'll be interesting to read afterwards what other remodeling might have been done. IE, will it have a rock climbing wall upon exiting the dry dock? How about redecorating one lounge/bar by adding beds? I don't really expect NCL will do any major redecorating this time around, but some redecorating may occur.

Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted May 29, 2007 #10 Share Posted May 29, 2007 This is a good video about a cruise ship in dry dock. A mini version of the A&E show about it. part 1 of 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimswims Posted June 2, 2007 #14 Share Posted June 2, 2007 We just took a drive over to visit the Dawn today. We saw that there were crews painting the outside areas and lots of cleaning/scrubbing going on on the balconies. We could see people washing windows and cleaning inside too! We are looking forward to our cruise in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLee Posted June 2, 2007 #15 Share Posted June 2, 2007 We are looking forward to our cruise in August. Just keep it polished up for those of us on the October repo. We wouldn't want the folks in Miami thinking we were slops when we deliver it in November! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeystoneCruiser Posted June 3, 2007 #18 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey Ron: notice that the lifeboats are missing from the Dawn. Do they remove them when a ship goes in for drydock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricron Posted June 3, 2007 #19 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey Ron: notice that the lifeboats are missing from the Dawn. Do they remove them when a ship goes in for drydock? Yes, they need maintenance work done on them too. It's much easier to work on them ashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswims Posted June 3, 2007 #20 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey Ron: notice that the lifeboats are missing from the Dawn. Do they remove them when a ship goes in for drydock? The lifeboats were removed and are on land, in rows, next to the drydock area. My wife took some pictures of the ship and maybe got some of the lifeboats. I do not know how to download pictures. She is hopefully going to do it later. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linnealee Posted June 3, 2007 #22 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I am glad the azipods are being repaired. I wondered when they were going to do so. I will be sailing on it for the first time in December and would hate to miss any ports. Never have been on a ship with this problem, I hope she will look really nice once the drydock is done.
