Further details in this press release from the shipyard:

Hamburg, November 6, 2006 – The world's largest ocean liner, the QUEEN MARY 2, will arrive in Hamburg on November 12, 2006 at Blohm + Voss Repair GmbH, a company of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, to be docked in dry dock ELBE 17 at about 21.25 h.

In the course of her previous yard period in the time from May 6 to 10, 2006, one of the four engine pods, a so-called Mermaid Pod, which had been damaged when leaving Port Everglades / Florida, was removed to be repaired by Blohm + Voss Repair. From November 12 to 17, 2006, the pod weighing approx. 270 t will be reinstalled. In addition to this, all balconies will be provided with a sprinkler system and the bridge wings will be extended by 2 meters.

The QUEEN MARY 2 will arrive in Hamburg without passengers on board and leave the port of Hamburg on November 17, 2006, at about 2.00 h for Southampton from where she will start a transatlantic passage to Fort Lauderdale and, subsequently, a western Caribbean cruise.

And it looks like the webcam is stuck to 02nd november too!
May be Cunard ios covering up for balcony preparations?
Surely more than sprinklers will be necessary with all that wood on her balcony?
Must be a nightmare for Carnival to replace all this wood!
