There are a great many things the crew does just before and during a dry dock. These are the things they cannot do in normal operation without disturbing the passengers:

1. Clean and renovate all the sun loungers.
2. Deep-clean cabins and public areas.
3. Empty, clean, and re-stock all the minibars.
4. Shampoo all the carpets.
5. Replace worn carpets.
6. Touch up interior paint.
7. Re-paint exterior.
8. Repair the thousands of little things broken in normal operation.
9. Repaint / re-tile Galley floors.
10. Renovate / replace Galley equipment.
11. Install new cables and pipes for new equipment.
12. Clean up all the mess made by the contractors onboard.
13. Feed and care for the 100s or 1000s of contractors living onboard during the dry dock.
14. Wrap every interior area in plastic to avoid damage from contractors.
15. Repair, clean, upgrade crew areas.
16. Stand fire watch.
17. Carry garbage and debris off the ship every hour.
18. Clean and inventory all items in hundreds of storage lockers.
19. Clean, repaint, and repair swimming pools and jacuzzis.
20. Renovate teak decks.

You forgot the 2 main reasons for drydock.

1, repair, sandblast, & paint everything below the waterline.

2, all necessary repairs to Engines, Generoters, & underwater shafts lending to the propellers, in RYMDAM'S case.

Every cruise ship, was a drydock, every 2 years.
