To avoid any confusion this is the link to the delay in the refurbishment

Stokey from the link "However, due to the global pandemic, Azura’s time in dry-dock has been delayed with as yet no inkling as to when she will receive the refresh she deserves."
So who knows but looks unlikely as it was offshore in Devon for most of 2020 before moving to Newcastle
As for an RNS ??
oldtramp In relation to your 15.16 post I note from that link that the 2020 refit was only for 12 days and not the 4 months for this one. I am not sure if that refit went ahead. I note that it was costed at £20m. If more extensive work is being done hence the longer dry dock stay we can look at the £20m as the floor. This begs the question where is the RNS?
Thanks Stokey you might find this interesting it gives some idea of cruise liner costs for refits and dry docking etc....quite an eye opener

oldtramp In relation to your 14.57 post yes
Stokey in reply to your 05.07 post am I right in thinking SRQ means Ship Repair Quay ?
Hi Folks - I have just been to the back of the sofa & found a few hundred quid & just Bought 966 shares so rounding up to 21,000
deeply under water but here is hoping & that this may be the turning point for us all.Well I did say it was a 'Strong Buy'.
Good find gents I see it was originally meant to have a multi million pound refit in April 2020 but was cancelled due to COVID
https://www.worldofcruising.co.uk/cruise-news/azura-po-cruises-cruise-ship-secret
In April 2020, Azura was set to receive an extensive multi-million-pound refit. This included an overhaul of the open decks incorporating an improved alfresco bar and food experiences, new canopies and deck furniture, and revitalised pool areas.
Inside, passenger favourites including the Blue Bar, Brodies and Malabar were set to receive enhancements, along with a ship-wide makeover with new carpets, furniture and furnishing across all public spaces.
Having checked the cruise ship tab on the Belfast Harbour website the estimated duration of the stay of the Azura is from the 2 July 2021 to the 8 October 2021.
Good posts - To all sleuths on here - attached is the link to Belfast & to where Azura is.An RNS on this subject soon would be a good point to bury any possible negative news on the ML.If Azura is due in & clearly it is this will be a significant moment for H&W & I am sure the SP will start to lift also if we were to have another RNS from results from the infamous pipeline then it will be 'Boom' for us all.I am back to 'Strong Buy'.

ThisTimeNextYeer In relation to your 09.28 post the most intriguing part of the Northern Echo article in my opinion is this remark 'According to the official website, the first sailings of the Azura are not scheduled to depart until December with the first sailing from Barbados. ' As it is scheduled to arrive until the 2 July that would give it around a four month stay depending on how long it takes to sail to Barbados. It is therefore coming in for significant repairs or an upgrade.
Although the Azura is owned by Carnival, it's operated by P & O Cruises.
I can't recall in recent years if any other P & O cruise ships have been in Harland an Wolff, i don't believe so. We've obviously recently had European Causeway and Highlander in dry dock, but these are P & O Ferries vessels.
Not relevant to this news item but for anyone interested, one of Harland & Wolff's best well known new ship builds was a P & O liner in the late 50's, the S.S Canberra.
I've also attached a link from the Northern Echo newspaper informing us of the Azura coming to Belfast.

Si_Derman In relation to your 06.47 post I am not sure about that. As far as I am aware it is the first since I have been a shareholder. Some of the other holders who have held shares for longer may be able to confirm.
Would that be the first vessle for Carnival, stokey?
I have just checked the Belfast Harbour website and it shows that at 05.20 on the 2 July a ship called the Azura is due to berth in the SRQ. On checking the vesselfinder website I note that a cruise ship with that name is owned by Carnival Cruises.
