Any update now QM2 is out of drydock?

[highcbob]

Greetings fellow Cunarders - I think today QM2 exits her

drydock refit. Has anyone heard of what work was actually

completed apart from the pod overhaul?

I haven't found an update, yet (still looking) but here is what was posted Sept 28 as the planned work for her dry-docking (on Maritme Matters-

http://www.maritimematters.com/shipnews.html )

 

First Dry Docking For QUEEN MARY 2

September 28: Cunard's QUEEN MARY 2 will be dry-docked for the first time since her maiden voyage in 2003. Blohm + Voss Repair GmbH of Hamburg won the contract for maintenance and repair work. QUEEN MARY 2 is expected November 8 at drydock Elbe 17. Classification work and painting work will be carried out in the dock. The propulsion units, anchor winches and the four stabilizers will all be overhauled. The liner is expected to leave Hamburg on November 19.

 

I'll keep looking for updates.

Someone more knowledgeable than me on the subject have any news? (Which is nearly everyone!)
