looking at itineraries for the royal and cannot find any cruise listed for that week or drydock sheduled.

Would this be a private charter week?

A "wetdock", apparently.

Thanks,

It will be interesting to find out what upgrades, changes or maintenance happens that week.

Do you thinkthat the work will be finished by the time it gets out of wet doc? I know anything can happen, but we are sailing her on 12/15. If I research my cruise better, I would have seen this before I booked. Now I am a little concerned. Might see if I can switch cruises.

Based on the email this person received, the wet dock will result in a “newly revitalized” ship such as adding their new beds.

 

Never read about a 7-day dockyard maintenance resulting in any significant changes. So this could be required maintenance & touching up worn passenger areas of the ship before sailing around South America to the West Coast.

 

I just received an email with the following statement from Princess:

In just over 200 days,Royal Princess® will arrive on the west coast for her firstfull season based in Los Angeles. Following a multi-million dollar wet docktaking place later this year, guests can experience the newly revitalized ship,including the award-winning Princess Luxury Bed, on sailings to the MexicanRiviera, California Coast or our iconic Alaska Voyage to the Glaciers!

 

Does anyone have any idea what changes/updates they are planning on making during the Wetdock?

They will be getting the ship ready for the west coast.
