Looks like she's in Dry Dock now:

Where is this at?

[raudacruise]

Some ship yard in Louisiana (I think). This was a scheduled dry dock for a two week period. We are on her in 4 weeks.

[hypercafe]

It's in Mobile, Al for 3 weeks

[raudacruise]

You are correct. Next sail date is Nov 23.

They are supposedly taking care of her engine issue during the drydock. Time will tell.......

I am sure they will do the best they can. If it can be fixed and I have no reason to think it can't, it will be. Ships don't go into dry dock for 2 weeks just because it is a fun thing to do..

Anyone know if they plan to install a self serve laundry?

I would not hold my breath. Perhaps the last thing they would add in drydock. Spend huge sums of money to add something that generates no revenue. The last NCL ship in a major drydock the Jade they took out the self serve laundries.

I was about to also say judging by the last drydocks they removed them I doubt you will see them add one.

I had totally forgotten about the Spirit going into drydock until this afternoon when we saw her here in Mobile, where ships are often refurbished and repaired. We're on the 12/7 sailing - can't wait!!!

Come join our roll call Dixie. We'll be glad to have you!

[raudacruise]

We are on the week before on 11/30. Hopefully we won't trash it up to much for you ;). We have a rollcall going as well for those looking at this thread.

Not only do the self-serves not generate any revenue, they probably cost NCL revenue. Without them, passengers are more inclined to use the pay laundry service onboard, not to mention whatever it cost the line for maintenance of the machines AND lost cabin space.

 

That said, I might add I would miss not having the availability of the laundry room.

 

Happy Cruising! :)

In regard to the engine problem, they are replacing the whole thing.

[seacats]

Are they changing out the mattresses during dry dock or has that been done already?

[gogfish]

I must be on it`s first sailing out of dry dock.

As i`m on the 23rd novenber sailing

The Mattresses have already been replaced. So far they have gutted the theater, the arcade and the galaxy of the stars. It's going to be all shiney and new:)

[crewsin250]

Arielmurphy it sounds like you are onboard the ship do you work for NCL or the shipyard that is doing the work in Mobile.

[arielmurphy]

My son knows one of the crew still onboard. He talked to her yesterday.

[crewsin250]

Please keep us informed on whats going on with the Spirit, we sail on her 12/14/08 and tell her to do a extra good job on cabin 10099.(LOL)

Paul

[arielmurphy]

I'll get right on that;)

[Southernbelle73]

I will also be on the Spirit right after it comes out of dry dock.... Sure hope they don't run into any major problems... Wonder what the chance of that is....

[iamausername]

I got off the Spirit a few days ago and according to the captain they are replacing all (or most?) of the carpet on the ship as well...it definitely needed it.
