Floating the Ship and reinstalling lifeboats!
Finally the new rudder stocks have been approved by DNV and both rudder assemblies reinstalled. I was so excited Tuesday to get the video of the dry dock finally filling up with sea water! On Wednesday saw they were floating and reloading the life boats. The next hurdle is passing all the agency inspections and testing, now that we are finally floating. DNV has signed off on 2 generators and 2 more need to get reviewed over weekend. Then they have to do critical test for Transitional Power. Everything needs to go off and switch over perfectly to pass! Anything that goes amiss, will have to tweak to get perfect. PSSC and MCA are the agencies for all the technical testing. From the Hotel perspective we are all good to go. The PNI Insurance Policy has been approved and to be in place for 7/31, allowing embarkation of residents. YAHOO! We got these updates this afternoon and Sunday we are to going to get more insights. Based on today's zoom call, I changed my Aer Lingus return flight to Dublin, from Sunday night to Tuesday night arriving on 7/31. I have learned to always buy fully refundable, no change fee tickets!
