Infinity is on the move, after bunkering in Cyprus she is destined for Algiceras with arrival on Sunday 14 February.

 

Recently some ships listed Algeciras as the destination but eventually went to the nearby Gibraltar for bunkering.

Solstice is now at Changi anchorage and has been replaced in dry dock by Eclipse presumably for the same hull repaint.

Feb 13 update 

Reflection - Barbados

Silhouette - Barbados

Equinox - CocoCay

Apex - CocoCay

Edge - CocoCay 

Summit - CocoCay

Eclipse - Singapore dry dock

Solstice - Singapore

Millenium - San Diego

Infinity - en route to Algiceras (as of yesterday)

Constellation - near Athens

 

Other than some slight movements, Solstice and Eclipse swapping dry docks, not much has changed this week.

No and they didn't for Solstice and Eclipse either

I suspect these are all just getting required maintenance.   I was actually surprised they did the blue paint job above the water line.  It will be interesting to see if they did any carpet or soft goods on the interior.

Infinity is now in the drydock in Cadiz.

A rather forlorn looking Eclipse in Tuas dry dock, Singapore. She’s been sanded down and is ready for her new blue livery.

Unlike a small boat they don't "sand them down" - blasting is done to remove rust and old paint.

Blasting is often done with  sand.

How long does it take to change out the paint?

Not long - Eclipse has been painted and she's back out of dry dock already!

Thank you!

                        She’s back in her element with a brand new look!

Infinity is now out of the dry dock but still berthed in Cadiz

[cruisestitch]

I like the new blue. It’s brighter and not as formal looking.

That may be incorrect, Marine Traffic was throwing up a few position quirks.

[cruisestitch]

Doesn’t give us a good feeling when Marine Traffic loses a ship!
