It is about cosmetics and rust on a ship is an eye sore and as this thread demonstrates it is held against the cruise line if not kept in hand (and against a division on a Navy ship as well during inspections😉). I wielded a chipping hammer many times in my day and there were definitely times when it was busy work, something that I myself ordered from time to time when I was put in charge as well (as much as I personally hate the concept). When we were last in Nassau every cruise ship in port had visible rust on their hulls. I've seen rust on every ship I've ever been on but rust has never interfered with my cruise (and the same holds for fading varnish on handrails and other material imperfections).

Special thanks to Mysticks1 on the Celebrity Cruises forum for this idea. I would like to begin to assemble one for CCL. To the moderators, I would appreciate if we could make this a "sticky" at the top of the page for all to see. I have seen this on other forums also and it seems to be useful. Please, refrain from posting cabin questions here so this can purely be an informative thread, especially for those that are first time cruisers or seasoned cruisers looking for a great cabin. The template is as follows: Ship - Deck - Stateroom # - Stateroom Category – Starboard or Port Side - Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Was wind a problem? - If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - Any specific problems with this cabin? - Any other comments? -
