Thanks for sharing these photos and video. So far, have you noticed any exterior structural changes compared to Icon? Thanks

No, looks pretty much the same to me so far.

Star of the Seas' Aquadome had some lights switched on and were being tested in the shipyard.

Sorry but Star is here to say

Yep, it has already been officially published and is painted on the back of the ship as well.

Royal has stated they start rumors with no intention of actually following through.  They even trademark names they don’t know if they will ever need.  Standard corporate marketing.  
 

Until it’s officially announced Legend is just another rumor no more certain than Carnival of the Seas.

Does anyone know how reliable database this one is, and who can actually add data there? That database has contained the name Legend of the Seas since May, but is it a reliable source or can any random people add names in there?

The installation of one of the Azipods, the installation of the water slide tower and finally the installation of the second funnel. After that, they also installed (missed the lifting) the LNG ventilation pipe, which is already in place in the last photos.

        

It's time to install some funnels!

They started a bit ahead of schedule, so I missed the start of the lifting, but here's the rest of the installation.

      

The anchor logo was installed on the starboard side of the ship last Friday.

Looks like the Aqua Theater dome will be installed very soon!

At first they have to install the diving platform and other large parts like these which I spotted earlier in the parking lot of the shipyard.

Is that bow piece installed in the marina's webcam image?

 

Yep

Legend will be the next Oasis ship name.

The next Icon will be Intrigue or some other name with a "TR" in it.

Equasis ship database have now name for the Icon 3 (IMO 9888560): LEGEND OF THE SEAS

Checking out the Turku marina webcam, I'm seeing some white & blue modules that I can only assume belong to the Star of the Seas. 

 

Yep, they arrived on monday. Came from Germany, maybe originally from Meyer Werft but Meri brought them either from Wismar or Rostock, where it visited before coming to Meyer Turku.

boy would I love to visit the yard for a day to watch.

Wondering who will be the captain and wondering what changes they will make to STAR based on first impressions of ICON.

thanks for the photo. I see MEIN is being built

But wondering what ship is inside the big building?  Is it a Princess ship?

Yep they are building Mein Schiff 7 here in Meyer Turku. The other picture with the ship inside the hall is from Meyer Werft in Germany, they are building Silver Ray in there: https://www.meyerwerft.de/de/unternehmen/webcam/index.jsp

Videos from crew disappearing on YouTube. Wonder if Royal is cracking down on leaks from the ship. Does seem a shame we’re having some of this revealed when it’s not quite ready. 

Propably. The media for example is only allowed to publish interior photos from January 11, 2024 or something like that.

Today was apparently a keel laying ceremony, but I was late to the party, people had already left Also note the flying block with part of the bow windows which will be located below the bridge.

Should follow this webcam apparently:

Will be interesting to see how they get those blocks to Turku, by barge/tugs or open deck carrier?

When is star build starting 

As soon as they get the building pool empty of water. I think they were supposed to start the assembly today, but not sure what the situation is there right now.

Some photos from today:

Just now, davidrlewis2302 said:

And they can’t do any of this in Turku because they’re building more cruise ships in the dry dock there - including Star of the Seas. 

The assembly of the Star of the Seas will start in this month. The FERU will arrive at the shipyard tomorrow morning.

Drydock is for accessing the azipods.

and clean the bottom of the ship and propellers too. The ship has been in the water for a year already.

My photos comes a little late to the party because I'm still sick after the Icon's final departure where I got the Covid but here you go the final departure
