Azipods

[Coach]

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Disney Wish will be using Azipods instead of a rudder and propellers? I remember that when they first announced the Disney Wish they were saying it would be using Azipods. I know this is sort of a "geeky question but I haven't heard anything about this other then the Wish will be powered by LNG and not diesel fuel.

The Wish will not have Azipod thrusters. It will have a rudder and thruster propulsion system. I attached a pic of the bow thruster block when it arrived earlier this year.

Just because a ship has bow thrusters doesn't mean it can't have pods as well... if the ship model is accurate then the Wish has pods. You can see one in this picture
