5. Starbucks
The Liberty of the Seas is scheduled to get a Starbucks during this dry-dock. Other Royal Caribbean ships with a Starbucks onboard offer several of the same drink and food menu items as Starbucks locations on land with some differences including the exact offerings.
6. Routine Maintenance
A dry-dock would not be completed without scheduled routine maintenance and this dry-dock for the Liberty of the Seas is no different. Royal Caribbean can use this time out of service to perform necessary work on the Liberty of the Seas including any refreshments to the public areas that are not "big" newsworthy items to put in the press release (i.e. deep cleaning, updating of carpeting or flooring where needed, etc.).
