D Alt Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Cruisedeckplans is saying that Liberty is going into dry dock from April 21 to 24 for routine maintenance. Anyone confirm that? She has to make her way up to NJ for my May 4th cruise on time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I think she did in 2021 so she would not be due yet. 4 days isn’t really enough time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 It's some maintenance activity that can't be done with people on board/and or at sea. Not sure what it is. I don't think it's a true dry dock though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemy2419 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 We were booked for Liberty and it was cancelled due to a very quick dry dock. We will board on April 24th hopefully, we'll see if it happens. Attached is the letter that we received. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemy2419 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Sorry for the double post but the letter loaded in reverse. Sorry for the difficult read but I did load in order. michaelp1446 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has always said Freestyle regardless of the ships have them or not. KristiZ and JazzBassMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Note the letter says docked, not dry docked. It could be they need to survey and clean the hull before she can enter Canadian waters. That is commonly done at a pier with divers and does not require entering a shipyard or a true dry dock. It could be done at any berth, i.e - cruise or cargo pier. They need to tie up somewhere for a day or two so divers can work uninterrupted. They will likely also take the opportunity to have some cranes hoist material up to the upper decks to perform heavy maintenance on areas that would be awkward or impossible with guests present. Ships are constant work and some of that work is just easier with no guests onboard. Thumper44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
