2004 dates?

[iluvorlando]

Does anyone know when the 2004 cruise dates are out? Also, when does the Magic go in dry-dock?

I know these have been answered before, thanks for the help!:)

The Magic is scheduled to leave for dry dock on September 20, 2002, and return to regular service on October 11, 2002.

It will not have the regular 7 day voyages that would have occurred on 9/20, 9/27, and 10/4.

The first cruise with paying guests after dry dock is scheduled for October 11, 2002.

We're expecting to see the 2004 schedule available for booking just any old week now, if it holds true to past years.

hope that helps

Dry Dock is an extensive scheduled maintenance procedure. They take the ship out of the water (actually, they pull the ship into a special, locking slip, and then pump the water out of the slip). They do all sorts of maintenance and inspection on the ship. It's kinda' like taking your car in for the 60-thousand-mile maintenance routine.

I believe that Albiats means 2003 not 2002.

Yes, sorry, I did mean 2003, even though I wrote 2002 several times.

The Magic leaves to go into dry dock on Sept 20, 2003 and returns to service on October 11, 2003.

Thanks for pointing that out, it is rather important to get it right!
