We were there in early September. I saw that they were belching thick black clouds of exhaust. The transom was all sooted up. I don't know how anyone could sit in the open back area what with the sooty fumes. Looked like an old car that had a blown piston ring and was belching smoke.

I was wondering the same thing. And you should see some of the other friendships that haven't been refurbished yet. Holy dirty! I'm not just talking like a little bit of dirt. Black!! It's BAD!

Upon learning of its upcoming euthanasia, Harmonious is now attacking everything it can.

What are the bows hitting? The bow is all dented in. It looks like a bad Bondo job done by the high school body shop class. The paint on the bow already has scuff marks all over it. Considering they come in from the side to the docks, what are they hitting with the front? Are they playing bumper boats after park close?

So great to see a positive comment. WDWMAGIC could post just about anything and the same 5 trogs will post a negative comment. It gets tiring.

I think it's interesting that they appear to be going back to the original, original paint schemes from 1982-ish. I believe before they had the built-up surrounds on the roof to hide the AC units the boats were painted in a very similar way. I think it looks nice and they received some love.

This is the story that’s been the funniest to me to see trickle out between different news outlets. The ship went in service in Mid-July and it wasn’t until early August I saw anyone talking about it.

I wish, I def prefer the stripes so much nicer, but wouldn't count on it. If they emerged and in use its completed. They have been doing this with red for a lot of things not sure what they are getting at.
