Does anyone know where Royal Caribbean ships are dry docked, specifically in San Francisco? Thanks.

I doubt any are actually drydocked in San francisco due to the higher costs of drydocking in the US.

Increased cruise ship traffic has increased the number of cruise ships going into the San Francisco Dry Dock. In 2004 the SF Drydocks had a 15% growth in business and in 2005 it is estimated to have an additional 15% growth. In 2004 there were 5 cruise ships that went into the drydock for repair. Each Cruise ship in Dry Dock provides for approximately 300 union labor jobs. http://www.sfgov.org/site/sfport_index.asp?id=28530

Does anyone know if there is any way of relaying messages to crew members while the ship is in dry dock? Thanks.
