A ship out of water: Pictures of Oasis of the Seas during dry dock service

Oasis of the Seas is going to look as good as new when she arrives in the UK next week. Here she is in dry dock having her 5-year service. As well as a paint job on the ship's hull, with particular attention being paid to the huge bulbous bow, the propulsion pods have been given a makeover.

She will visible from Ryde on the Isle of Wight at approximately 8.20am, Calshot at 9am, Hythe at 9.25am and finally, Mayflower Park from 9.30am. Oasis is due to tie up at the City Cruise Terminal by 10.00am, and is expected to leave shortly before midnight.
