Thank you for your insight. How many coats do they do? Two or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they blast down to bare steel, it would be two coats of anti-corrosive (primer) and then two coats of top coat. Many times they will, like I say, they will blast off the top coat and just recoat once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to follow the progress being made but I can't find a web site that has photos. I'd really love to watch a live camera feed if there was one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted February 17, 2020 #32 Share Posted February 17, 2020 No idea why RCI feels the need to mess with their classy looking all white ships. That is an ugly blue. Also if you look at ships from the past that had non-white hulls, the white of the superstructure was carried down to part of the hull and out to the bow. I think it ties things together better. It looks better that way, in my opinion. This monstrosity has an entirely blue bow and hull. Voyager looks to me like the superstructure of one ship was placed on top of the hull of another ship. Maybe while they are at it they could add a nice pair of lips to the bow like the Aida ships. I think the blue hull works better for Oasis because of its shape where the superstructure overhangs the hull. It already looks like the superstructure was lowered down onto a barge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted February 17, 2020 #35 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I like the Norwegian paint jobs. They should make it more interesting instead of just a plain color! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony has a blue bow, and the blue goes all the way to the lifeboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Mountain Tim Posted February 17, 2020 #38 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The dark blue on Celebrity reminds me a lot of Holland America. Just saying. Even though HAL is not blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me a lot of the original livery of the Millennium Class. If you had told me this new one was just a small tweak of the original, I'd believe you. You can also still see some of that old livery through the paint when you get up close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlowBroTy Posted February 18, 2020 #48 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I actually really like the new paint color. However I don't think every ship should get the new paint color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I'm not too worried about the color change as my view will be mostly from the inside looking out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
