The Grandeur of the Seas and Enchantment of the Seas ships are currently powered by four 12V 48/60 MAN engines, which will now be fitted with 16 TCA55 turbochargers, while the Horizon and Zenith vessels will be retrofitted with four NA40/S and ten NA34/S turbochargers.

MAN PrimeServ said that the installation of the first retrofit will be done aboard Enchantment of the Seas in December during its regular sailing schedule between Florida and the Bahamas.
