FManke Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Serenade of the Seas is scheduled for dry dock in early Nov. Anybody have any info as to what's scheduled to be done? Would like to see what was planned on our upcoming cruise. J_Keeble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRC Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 After her drydock, there will be a 4nt, 7nt, then 10nt. I'll be on the 10 so I've been curious about this too. As far as I can tell it will be mostly a marine maintenance drydock (required every 5 years) with no major changes to the hotel side except general repairs and replacements. I did 11 on her last November and it was a blast. Radiance class has always been my favorite ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a great ship both in size and ratings for first timers like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a group of rum-enthusiasts I belong to that did a sailing on Adventure in 2016, and are planning one on Serenade next year. :) PRC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that I noticed when I was on her a few weeks ago, a new paint job. Outside of that, no real changes from what I could see. I would assume the same will probably be the case for Serenade. PRC and JLMoran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to the crew on board, they are scheduled for an 11 day dock, I believe in the Bahamas. Mostly cosmetic. Paint, carpet, maybe furniture, etc. I asked our server in Giovanni's if she was excited for it. She said no. The crew still has to work while in dry dock. The outside work crew is housed on board, so they still have to work, feeding them, cleaning the cabins they stay in etc. They also turn off the A/C at night to save money I guess, so a lot of the crew has been known to sleep out on the deck at night to escape the heat. She also said that the dry dock is not built into there contracts, so they basically don't get paid for it. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess from what she said, that time is added on to their contract, but the pay is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
