Explorer rescheduled amplification?

[Bazza]

Hi all

Saw a comment on Facebook about Explorer being 'unavailable' in February 2023 so looked at the booking page and it appears nothing from end of January until early March.

Is it likely it is the postponed amplification from 2020, or is it not unusual for ships to be 'rested'??!

Hoping the former as I am on her in September next year!

Thanks

I would think that it is probably just standard 5 year dry dock where the ship is inspected and gets a new coat of paint and is more of a mechanical check up and not amplification. They have yet to announce any resumption of amplification for ships.

I saw a thread on this over on cruise critic and it sounds to me like the ship might get a more extensive refurbishment, but will likely stop short of the amplification program. Hopefully it will make the ship feel nice and refreshed when I go in February, 2024.
