Cj hanlon Posted August 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi does anybody know when Ventura will be getting her make over. Be sailing on her in December so hoping it will be done by then. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted August 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2015 No, and I'm slightly worried....Adonia didn't get her paint job, and Carnival are borrowing her for their new Fathom line...let's hope that the beards in Miami haven't got their eyes on Ventura! :eek: I believe Arcadia's still waiting, too.

mondas42 Posted August 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Was on the other week and asked the same question. Got told when it goes to,the Caribbean as the paint drys quicker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted August 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2015 She won't be based in the Caribbean this Winter though, will she? We didn't think she looked too bad in May ...... but then we'd just come off Fred Olsens Black Watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampshirerobyn Posted August 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I did read a couple of month back that Ventura is scheduled to be repainted in early 2018. This is when her next refurbishment is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she will be doing a 28 day return trip from Southampton in Jan/Feb, which we are on, so she may be getting her paint job during our cruise, hope its not too wet or windy.

hampshirerobyn Posted August 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2015 When Azura had her new paint job earlier this year, she was dry docked for about 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the ship needs to be out of service to be painted. They do patch up work in many ports but can't do the areas below the water line. David.

supered Posted August 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2015 They painted Oriana and Oceana while they were in service, so they don't need to wait for a dry dock. Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now they use eco friendly water based paint :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so they are going to make the ship even more downmarket by applying that horrible decal as per Britannia. Like some boy racer paint job. P&O ain't what it used to be for sure. David.

The stylised UJ is quite effective on Britannia, defo not a boy racer paint job, IMO, and anything is better on the funnel than the old rusty buff.

wilson2579 Posted September 1, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just come off Britannia and she looked splendid in her colours. I agree also that I prefer the blue funnels to the old biege/yellow ones.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
