Celebrity Century Now Truly a Ship without a Rudder

Work continues on Celebrity Century in the Chantier Naval de Marseille shipyard at Marseilles. The emergency drydock was necessitated by a rudder problem, and in this photo taken today, you can see that the rudders have now been removed. (Click the photo for a larger view.)

Celebrity again said the work remains on schedule to have the ship back in service for the next cruise on October 25. They again said passengers on that sailing should proceed to Barcelona, and if anything unforeseen delays the ship's arrival in Barcelona, Celebrity will provide accommodations and cover incidental expenses on land until passengers can board the ship.
