1emerald1 Posted February 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The last dry dock was November 2015 and it seems they have one every three years or so. I have gone through the Emerald's schedule from Sept 2018 through May 2019 and do not see any break in sailings where one could assume a dry dock has been scheduled.

fishywood Posted February 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2018 March 26, 2019 Emerald sails a three day San Pedro to Vancouver coastal cruise. Next scheduled sailing is April 11, 2019 seven day Wine Country Coastal Vancouver to San Pedro. Followed by Emerald's--and Princess Cruises'--first ever west-to-east full transit of the new locks. So there's your break. Thirteen nights presumably in Vancouver dry dock. Fits perfectly in average interval of three and a half years between. Remember that google site that is frequently linked to from here is essentially a "fan page" that is unofficial, riddled with typos and seemingly updated a lot less lately. Caveat emptor.

I missed that, rats, I'm going on the 2/24/2019 Hawaiian and will miss out on the dry dock prior to my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted February 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2018 So this is when the propulsion gets fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted February 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2018 So this is when the propulsion gets fixed. Isn't the propulsion problem caribbean, and not emerald. Unless it's some sort of virus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that google site that is frequently linked to from here is essentially a "fan page" that is unofficial, riddled with typos and seemingly updated a lot less lately. Caveat emptor. Actually, since the Emerald is only coming up on 11 years old, she only needs to drydock every five years, with a mid-period underwater inspection, until she turns 15. The fact that she has done one dock after 5 years, and then one at three years (the mid-period is required to be 2.5 years +- 6 months), means that she should have docked again in 2017 (ten years old), unless they credited the 2015 docking as a "docking for credit" to shift the 5 year span. Even then, a docking in March 2019 is pushing the mid-period from the 2015 yard, as 3.5 years is too long, unless they have done the underwater inspection already and either found a problem, or just couldn't fit the schedule for the ship or the yard until March.

shipfriend_max Posted February 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Before her Panama Canal transit and Transtalntic crossing she has a gap in her schedule. Before that gap, her final cruise ends in vancouver. So during spring 2019 she will have her drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatcruiseisnext Posted February 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Thank you for all the information. We were just discussing this very topic today. We are looking at doing a Transatlantic on the Emerald in the fall of 2019 so looks like that will be after dry dock.

Desert Cruizers Posted February 13, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I will be on her March 11, 2019 Hawaii cruise with the daughter, so looks like she will go in after our sailing. We are back on the 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FineAsFrogsHair Posted March 14, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I believe she will go into dry dock in Victoria BC. I saw it posted on a schedule somewhere, but I can't find that site now, but it does make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing55 Posted March 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I believe she will go into dry dock in Victoria BC. I saw it posted on a schedule somewhere, but I can't find that site now, but it does make sense. Sure seems like it. So, the next question is, other than the very important "invisible" maint. issues, any likely truthful rumors to any forward (i.e passenger) facing updates? I suspect new carpeting, but beds? maybe *****? others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also possible they will install Royal class type TV system and TVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
