This old ship cost $100 million to repair
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses the options available to cruise lines when a vessel reaches an advanced age. One option involves scrapping the ship to sell it for parts, while the alternative is to invest in a massive refurbishment to make the vessel feel new again. This specific ship is undergoing a one hundred million dollar renovation project. The investment covers various upgrades including new water slides, carpets, rooms, bars, and restaurants. The creator explains that they have been flown out to perform as a country music entertainer at one of the newly renovated bars. The ship functions as a massive floating city with a crew of over two thousand three hundred members. Currently, the vessel is located in a construction yard where crew members are preparing for the upcoming launch. Because the crew arrives well before the ship is operational, the creator notes that there is little to do during the initial period. The creator intends to spend the first ten days of the assignment in Spain enjoying local food and relaxation before the work begins.
