Thanks for posting that link, amazing how much they can do over a short period. Thankfully the cruises don't fly by so quickly.

Thank you for posting the link.

 

I couldn't work out if the propeller shafts were new or not. Obviously they were removed & then replaced, but whether it was the old ones that went back I couldn't tell. It might well have been; it lolls as if they're well underneath the sponson.

 

I was also interested to see that the sponson is just a bolt-on; her original stern is still there, underneath the sponson.

I believe the shafts were removed and refurbished, then placed back.
