daynab Posted October 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2004 We will be going onthe Victory in April 05. I heard that in Nov. she will be going into drydock for 2 weeks. Will she be getting a complete overhaul? Also how is the cd onthis ship. We sailed with John Heald on the Triumphlast year and he was wonderful. Any comments? Thanks in advance, Dayna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted October 13, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2004 The dry dock is a place where ships come to be serviced or repainted from http://www.fact-index.com/d/dr/dry_dock.html 5 entries found for dry dock. from http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dry+dock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrounds Posted October 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Anything that has to be fixed, maintained, or repaired below the waterline USUALLY requires a drydocking (ship pulls into a crib, cradle is setup under her, and the water is pumped out). Ships usually use this non-productive time to update interiors also. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betsyrossapk Posted October 13, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'm interested as well. The Inspiration has just come back from dry dock & the 1st cruisers should just be getting back soon. Would love to hear how she looks & if they can tell if there were any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroupCruiser Posted October 13, 2004 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Every few years ships have to be pulled out of the water for an inspection and bottom painting. Two weeks isn't long enough for a complete overhaul. That can run into several months depending on what needs to be done. They will do a thorough cleaning, and repair/replace what they can't do while the ship is in service like maybe replace carpet, work on the galley, maybe the pools, and so on, whatever needs work.
