Clearly most of the ships needed their registration inspection dry docks so doing them prior to returning to normal service makes a lot of sense. This type of basic drydock almost requires the painting of the hull in order to inspect and improve fuel economy (removal of barnacles, repairs and touch ups) but there is a massive difference in cost if you want to change the colour as a change requires a number of finishing coats. So Celebrity have taken the cheap option on infinity but not on the "S" class and one which does not fit with the rest of the fleet. Looks like they expect to get rid soon!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the current ETA for Beyond is, but it's well under construction. At some point you would think they will need to reduce overall fleet capacity to some degree. The other interesting thing is how inconsistent the fleet is now and how long they will let that go. With the shortened dry docks due to the Oasis incident, COVID, etc. what was intended to be a unified upgrade M & S class-wide is now a little messy.

BigAl94 Posted March 8, 2021 #211 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Infinity is under way with destination shown as Piraeus. Personally I don't believe the Celebrity denials re Constellation and Infinity. Time alone will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you zoom in on that photo you can see there are additional hatches that say No Tug that are mostly blue right at the waterline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled up an older pic I took of the Connie that was a better resolution and found that area. Strange that they didn't mask off above the blue. Guy must be GOOD with that sprayer 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell Reflection hasn't left Barbados in quite some time. I would imagine they have some sort of plan in mind to deploy elsewhere come summer. It seems Barbados may be the kick off point for Apex and Silhouette as they head across the pond. Edited March 29, 2021 by Jeremiah1212 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read Silhouette will be heading to Europe to do cruises for locals...Hope so then they will cancel my July Reflection.

Silhouette - apparently she is heading to the UK for a UK resident only cruising season with a crew that does not need to be vaccinated. CDC is going to love that!
