That was my first ship to cruise on as Splendour of the Seas. Memorable experience.

[SomeHomies]

Wow stripping all the paint looks like a lot of work. Great timelapse!

[FraserAtSea]

Wow - amazing to see how much work this took to get it to where it is today!

[pepawg]

I saw a similar YouTube video of an airliner being repainted. They stripped the old coat off before repainting a new one because of the total weight a coat of paint adds to an airliner!

[bmused]

I like how they went to the bother of cutting out the hull plating where the original name was welded on and replaced it with smooth plating. Most companies that buy used ships don't seem to bother with that! They just paint over the lettering in the hull colour and hope no one notices!

Good video. other than the music, it made my teeth hurt

[Escylon]

Interesting how quickly she rusts once the paint is removed.

[epistte]

How much time would the ship have then spent at the fitting-out docks before going back into cruise service?

[woody]

I wonder how may tonnes the paint adds, that’s allot of weight.

[LxftRxght]

LITTLE COMETS! IT'S LITTLE COMETS!

[sauronthegreat]

How do they paint the very bottom of the ship? Do they have to lift the boat up?

[charleschris]

Did anyone notice water ejecting out of the ship onto the lift?

[FunteX]

Great video, poor choice of music though . . .

[LxftRxght]

THIS IS SUCH A TUNE, ENGLISH INDIE BAND BUT FORGOTTEN THE NAME...

[patrickradcliffe]

Surprised they left bare metal for so long it surface rusted.

[lelandfranklin]

Wow...actually removing the steel where the name was and replacing it. Never would have thought...

[theostickley]

Why did I think they just paint over the old colour scheme

[OlBlueshound]

Great video, but I was amazed that after they had stripped the paint off, the raw metal had gone quite rusty and they just painted straight over it!! The new paint won't last long at all. They should have actually stripped small sections at a time and then primed and painted it until the whole ship was redone, and then do one final top coat over all the pre-prepared areas. You' should never ever paint over rusty Steel.
