Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator describes their current experience working on a cruise ship while the vessel is in a wet dock. They explain that a wet dock occurs when a ship is stationed at a random port to undergo various repairs. The creator contrasts this with the experience of a dry dock, which they previously encountered in France. During a dry dock, the water is completely drained from the area, allowing for unique opportunities such as standing underneath the ship and touching the hull. Beyond the technical aspects of maintenance, the creator notes that these periods serve as a significant break for the crew. Because there are no passengers on board during these times, crew members are granted days off and have the freedom to move around the ship in casual clothing rather than their standard professional attire.
