Sky wet dock 1/11/16

[JOLTnPEST]

Does anyone know what is being done to the sky for these 4 days?

No. But the cruise was cancelled over 5 months ago, so this was a planned activity.

Ships that are more than 15 years old have to be drydocked twice in 5 years, as opposed to younger ships that can be docked once, with an underwater survey by divers at the mid-period. The Sky turned 15 in August 2014, but NCL completed her drydock early, in Oct 2013, she slips under the wire for the 3rd Special Survey rule. So, I would suspect that they are doing her last underwater survey (normally done during 2-3 turn around days), while also undergoing the "face lift" that FDR has touted for all vessels, since she won't go back to dock until 2018. For the Sky, I think they will finally get rid of all the Hawaiian decor, and perhaps the bow art.

We board Friday the 15th. Does this mean boarding might start earlier than usual since there are no passengers departing?

[chengkp75]

Maybe, but they may still be doing clean up, and getting the extra trash off (old carpet, etc.), so it may be normal time.

Thanks! I'm also on the 1/15 cruise. We were on her 3 months ago so it will be interesting to see the before and after.
