Most modern cruise ships need to be dry docked for inspection, maintenance and class surveys every five years and once they reach 15 years of age they need to be dry docked at least twice within a five-year period. Dry docks typically last up to 14 days at a cost of up to $2 million per day and involve regular maintenance including hull cleaning, exterior painting of the structure, inspection of pipes, restoration of exterior deck flooring, and installation of enhanced HVAC filter systems
Formerly known as the World Discover II
During July 2017 drydock removed category EX Suites from decks 3 and 4 and converted the space to other categories. Many of the cabins were also renumbered on decks 3 and 4. The Boutique was moved to Deck 5 and replaced the space that once housed the Library. The Humidor became the Connoisseurs Corner.
During Sep 2018 drydock changes were made to meet the Polar Code.
