Digncruzn Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Sorry if this is a repeat question, as I searched and didn't find another post. I thought I saw somewhere that Navigator was being pulled out for dry dock mechanical repairs in April 2024. How long does this usually take? We are scheduled to go on May 10. I haven't gotten any notifications from RCL that anything is changing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantix2000 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 On Royal's website, if you search for all sailings on Navigator, you'll see there's a 4 night cruise on Feb 12, 2024, then nothing until April 12, 2024. That suggests she's in dry dock for almost 2 months but is back in service a month before your cruise. Digncruzn and Cactus527 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Drydock may not take that long, but she has to get to Singapore (I think) and back. Hence the 2 weeks on either side of the March drydock Cactus527, Digncruzn and Thumper44 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Diem Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I cruise on Navigator every 10-12 weeks (a lot, I know!) so I actually know the answer to this one. Navigator will go to Singapore for a short drydock and then she will return to Los Angeles. She will only be gone for a total of 45 days. You will get a refreshed Navigator for your sailing. Lucky you! PPPJJ-GCVAB, WAAAYTOOO and Digncruzn 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAGirl30 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Anyone know what’s going on with the dry dock? Anything new on the ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Once ships are 20 years old they have to dry dock every 2.5 years. It is an absolute requirement to maintain their certificate to operate. Mostly these are technical dry docks performing the maintenance required so the ship remains certified to sail. They may replace a cracked window in the Windjammer or a broken tile on a floor somewhere. They might paint the pool or do some other service in guest areas while the ship is down but mostly these dry docks are done because they have to perform scheduled maintenance to the hull, engines, propulsion, etc. as required.

Chili Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 To bad they aren’t taking passengers,I’m sure it would be popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
