Millions of cruise ship passengers head to the Bahamas each year to soak up the sun. But what many folks don’t realize is that Freeport also happens to be where a lot of their favorite ships go when they need a little R&R. Of course, in the case of the vessels in question, that stands for “rust-removal and refurbishment!”

It turns out that the Bahamas is a popular dry dock destination, meaning that it’s where ships who are due for a new paint job — think of it as a facelift — or repairs go. Want to find out if a ship you know swung through for a little nip/tuck in 2016? We compiled a list of the various vessels who enjoyed their own Bahamian vacation this year.
