So its geared toward young families in a big way, its why looks like Sesame Street on certain levels. Ok, just hope the product planners go their future demographic correct or this will be in dry dock for a refurb faster than expected.

Look forward to going through it this December. In Ft Lauderdale RCL stated you can go from sidewalk to ship in 20 minutes. I look forward to the same experience out the new terminal. I hated waiting outside in lines for an hour at the old Terminal 1.

One gets the feeling there is a Royal Caribbean employee looking at this thread 24/7. Hi Royal Caribbean employee.

The whole diving show that was a feature on the rear of Oasis Class may be going away with Icon?

" Icon will be the first Royal Caribbean ship to feature a parabolic bow design. A parabolic bow is a functional design element that creates a curved indentation in the bottom of the vessel’s hull. This new bow design helps increase overall stability of the vessel by shifting the center of gravity forward. In addition, parabolic bows allow the ship to be less likely to capsize or heel. This is due to the bow creating an area of low pressure beneath the ship’s hull." Curious to how it moves the CG forward and create the low pressure under the hull https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/09/19/new-aerial-photos-show-royal-caribbeans-icon-of-the-seas-construction-progress

The bottom picture, are those stabilizing blocks? How far into the build until the shipyard removes them?

It is a coincidence unless there is corporate espionage. Not even built at the same shipyard.

Nice job, I guess we will see in a couple of months how close you are.

Wow, the third Princess ship to be call the Sun Princess. Please tell me one of the sister ships will be called the Pacific Princess.

I thought there were going to be parking garages built where the surface lots are now. Maybe its a cost cutting move or the parking lot companies have more sway with city council than I thought.

I thought they were building parking garages, guess not all surface lots. I did not see much parking construction sailing out a couple of weeks ago.

Cookie introduced him this past cruise on the Breeze, a new guy from Las Vegas who used to work for a competing cruise company. Forgot his name.

Carnival just sent a notification for traffic conditions on 45 this weekend.

On page 36 "The cruise facility also offers a large open building that could suit the needs for auto processing and accessories installation."

So what is the old cruise terminal building used for in a Ro Ro operation?
