AlaskaGolden Posted July 4, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yes, it would be great if there were a list or web site which listed upcoming dry or wet docks for Princess ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendon Posted July 4, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2007 How often can a ship be expected to go into dry dock as part of the preventative maintenance routine? The Diamond is fairly new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Rhone Posted July 4, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Probably during her next visit to Asia (Fall 2008/9) as she went to Singapore for her last dry docking (Dec 10-20 2005). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaDog-46 Posted July 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2007 As Diamond Princess was delivered in 2004 from Mitsubishi - she would be scheduled to dock 5 years later in 2009. The docking in 2005 may have been for gaurantee work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetf Posted July 5, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Looks like a 6 day break in her schedule first week of May 08 when she is in LA. That may be a dry or wet docking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser23456 Posted July 5, 2007 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2007 No, 2005 dry dock was for general maintenance (hull painting, engine overhaul and lots of other things) and for replacing the propellers as one was damaged by the crash in Victoria, B.C. Since then the aft section was shaking like a wet dog at full speed which really got better after dry dock...:D Her sister Sapphire went to the same dry dock exactly one year later for more or less the same repairs (except for the propellers...) As these ships (as well as all the other cruise ships) are constantly in operation they have to go to dry dock much earlier than after 5 years!
