Spectrum of the Seas' Azipods Attached

Work on Spectrum of the Seas is continuing at Meyer Werft. The latest milestone is the attachment of the podded propulsion system, which is built by ABB in Helsinki. It's not a matter of just screwing on the pods. It takes at least a day and a half to install the 200-ton unit. In this video, Royal Caribbean manages to shrink it all down to about a minute. Propellers will be attached to the pods in February. Spectrum of the Seas will enter service in China in June. It may take a few viewings to read everything and see everything in this video.
