Celebrity Edge's Blocks Are In The House!

Edge block sits next to MSC Bellissima hull section.

Lloyd - Great shots and especially the fist two looking head on. Thanks as always.

I am like a kid on Christmas morning as I can’t wait for the next photo post.

We originally had a infinite balcony on the Magic carpet part of the ship. But we decided to move our cabin to the other side of the ship as I do not want to worry about people looking into my cabin! Now have a cc cabin for a b/2/b. Very exciting! New Years eve and the following first week in 2019.

Some photos from today.

Lloyd:

These pictures you post never cease to amaze! Thank you again.

Cheers, Murray

It seems like this ship does not have the metal stabilizer under the bow, I have a vulgar name for it as well.

Please advise.

Bulbous bow?

A bulbous bow is a protruding bulb at the bow of a ship just below the waterline. The bulb modifies the way the water flows around the hull, reducing drag and thus increasing speed, range, fuel efficiency, and stability.

If you look carefully at the photos you can see that the bulbous bow is integrated into the bottom of the bow because of its slight forward slant instead protruding forward from the more common bow design that slants backward as in the photo of the Equinox below. The position of the bulbous bow remains in relatively the same place on the hull of each ship.

Bulbous bow?

Keeping it under wraps, or, do I have the wrong ship?? :)

Up close to the davits and Magic Carpet.

Thanks for your response regarding bow and did note the metal integrated to lower portion.

Good morning Lloyd555, looks like things are really fallen in place with the Magic Carpet and the exterior.(y)(y)

just spent a couple of hours following this thread,..Lloyd....thank you for all your time on this!

I guess that this boulbous bow design is new and perhaps never used before. This what someone said in a previous message that Celebrity had patented.

I noticed that edge is being built outside, most ships that I seen are in a hangar. Please explain.

Thanks jc

Some of the prior Celebrity Ships (Solstice Class) and some RCI ships (Randiance and Quantum class) along with other cruise lines ships are built at Mayer Werft, Pappenburg. They have two Halls, I think 5 and 6. No 6 is the big Hall were the bigger ships are built today. Hall 5 was used a while back to build some of the Aida ships and Reseach vessel Sonner. Recently though Hall 5 was/has been used to assemble/store some ship blocks before moving them to Hall 6.

Thanks

But edge is in STX, nazzerene, France

I got it, thanks

I guess all yards are different

Good thing they are wearing safety helmets; I'd hate to have the ship fall on them.
