They are still working on the Wish. Theres a 99% chance that that is one of the engine modules for the Wish.Meyer Werft either owns outright,or major portions of at least 3 if not 4 shipyards. Meyer Werft, in Papenburg, Neptun Werft in Rostock, and Meyer Turku, in Turku in Finland. Neptun Werft, is making certain blocks for both Turku, and Meyer. They are barged to the appropriate location when there ready. That yard also makes smaller river cruise ships. I was looking at there site, and the last press update was from 2019. For Spectrum. I was looking at it before and while it doesnt look like a true engine block it could be the control room block or associated space for the engines.I thought I read it is unable to progress due to a ship or two ahead of it that is running late??? That can’t even be our base, can it? Is that the right dock? The Neptune? We are at 5 or 6?
As it stands now, theres 3 ships ahead of the Wish. P&O Iona, which last time I looked was in a dry dock in Rotterdam for inspections and the last of her trials. She is almost 2 months late if not more, at this point due to a stop work order for the pandemic, just after she arrived in Bremerhaven, where all of the interior fitting out is done.She was supposed to have a mid May maiden to give you an idea. Delivery should have been late March or early April. Things like tables, decorations, beds, anything that isn't specifically needed to move the ship from Papenburg to Bremerhaven to reduce weight so the ship rides higher in the water, as the river is relatively shallow in some places. As in less then 2 or 3 feet between the ship and the bottom in some places. Inches count. She does not have a delivery date yet that l know of. RCCL Odysey of the Seas, is next up, and following her, is AidaCosma. Both are visible in the webcam, in the same drydock. Odesey is the one furthest from the camera. WIsh may have some blocks in the drydock, on the side. It's hard to tell at this point. Work on all 4 is progressing, but at a slower pace due to distancing procedures, supply slowdowns etc. RCCL has stated, as did Carnival, that both ships will be delayed, but at this point, they dont know by how much. RCCL said well know more in a few weeks, and that was about 3 weeks ago. Havent seen anything more about it.
