Hopefully that picture has been taken awhile ago. Being as sea trials are supposed to start soon.

When are sea trials? At 4 months out, it makes sense to me that inside work is being done now,

Sea trials begin sometime this month, but I don't think I've seen a specific date mentioned.

John Heald had posted something a few weeks ago about sea trials starting at the end of January but he didn't give a specific date.

Here's a very basic timeline of construction (let it completely load). Also the interior will be worked on I'm sure until boarding.

Thanks, I guess it makes sense they can work on interiors during sea trials.

She is showing rust already. Lol

[papcx]

She looks in pretty rough shape considering she's never been to sea.

[kybluecruiser]

Because she only has one coat of paint and has been sitting in the open harbor. If you look at pics of harmony of the seas she is in the same condition.

Harmony is in no way the same condition.

If you look closely at the Vista it is were the new welds are. The rust is just bleeding off where there is no paint. Different yard different way of building a ship. There will be no rust on it come May 1st. Luke

Really bruh? Harmony looked worse

 

 

 

Every ship under construction isn't fully painted until its completely finished.

[papcx]

 

Looks fully painted to me. With rust spots.

 

It's no problem anyway. Both Vista and Harmony will look perfect when they sail. I'll let you know when I'm on the Harmony maiden.

just looking at this photograph, its not rust you can see--its were they have been doing welding jobs....you can see the way the smoke trails from the welding are wafting upwards. they will clean/prepare/repaint the areas with gloss paint when they have finished. I will also check when I see it in august !

[Velvetwater]

I have no idea why people are worrying about new ships crafting because of the way metal behaves. They will both be beautiful.

 

Both were painted intitally for press/ceremonies they will get touched up!

 

On the subject of things I am posting a link to a video you may/may not have seen from the Carnival Vista building series that looks at cabins and IMAX. If you have Havana booked you may be VERY interested around the 1.11 mark:

That's a pretty good shout. Nothing a lick of paint won't sort.
