In this exciting episode of World's Toughest Fixes, Sean Riley takes us on an adventure to the Grand Bahama shipyard where a massive cruise ship, the Radiance of the Seas, is about to undergo a major transformation. This superliner, which can carry over 2,000 guests, is in urgent need of a new power plant to help save millions in fuel costs. As the crew prepares for this daunting task, we learn just how challenging it is to replace such a massive engine while keeping the ship afloat and on schedule.

Sean introduces us to the unsung heroes working tirelessly behind the scenes. With only three weeks to complete the job, the crew must carefully raise the 90,000-ton ship out of the water, making sure everything is perfectly balanced to avoid a disaster. We get to see the delicate process of maneuvering the ship into the dry dock and the tense moments as they cut a giant hole in the hull to fit the new engine, which is as heavy as four 737 airliners!

As work continues, we witness the incredible teamwork involved in rerouting pipes and cables in cramped, hot spaces below the waterline. These workers are determined to get the job done, battling the heat and the pressure of the looming deadline. From cutting through thick steel plates with powerful torches to lifting massive components, the crew faces many obstacles, but their dedication and expertise shine through. Join us for a thrilling journey as they work against the clock to bring the Radiance of the Seas back to life, ready for her next voyage!
