CapitalKyle Posted May 20, 2014 #1951 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Nice to see a new construction video, but at this point I would much rather see someone in the executive office take responsibility for the dining fiasco and say something. While most on here seemed to be losing interest without them releasing updates for a year, I never did, but now I could care less about the construction and want to see them release a video showing how IT messed up. Maybe the minions can go fix some of the servers, they seem a bit more capable. While I can understand your frustration, I am personally willing to give RCI a bit of a mulligan on this one. Working for a software company, I have seen firsthand how challenging it can be to release a new program. Combine that with what was surely a heavy traffic of curious cruisers, and you've got the perfect recipe for a rough launch. Give them a little time to address the issues and work out the bugs, and I bet they will have it running smoothly with plenty of time to spare for us to make our dining reservations prior to sailing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted May 20, 2014 #1953 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I just felt like pointing out the Meyer Werft visitor center window visible (at top of image) in this screen grab from Royal Caribbean International's video 'Quantum of the Seas Construction Update: Royal Caribbean's Newest Ship Takes Shape'. So many good photos from that window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKNYC Posted May 21, 2014 #1962 Share Posted May 21, 2014 RCI Construction update video http://www.royalcaribbeanpresscenter.com/video/415/quantum-of-the-seas-construction-update-royal-caribbeans-newest-ship-takes-shape/ And this answers the question on whether or not they have started inserting cabins: So I guess that Lamp in the last photo comes bolted down to the desk, or whatever it's on. I can't believe it would be frestanding with the workmen there. Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Bolted down, placed there by the camera crew or the worker brings it from cabin to cabin, what with there being no overhead lights yet installed...

hitaway4 Posted May 21, 2014 #1964 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Bolted down, placed there by the camera crew or the worker brings it from cabin to cabin, what with there being no overhead lights yet installed... That lamp is part of the cabin itself. It is probably bolted to the table/desk. The light you're seeing in the picture is from the arc of the worker welding. The lamp is off. You can tell it is from the welder because of how white the light is. Welders generally like working in semi-dark areas. That lamp will be in use a few months from now though!

Lloyd555 Posted May 22, 2014 #1968 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Photos taken by someone in the Swedish delegation. No photos allowed in the hall, huh? I guess this person didn’t get the massage. (My minion joke writer has redeemed himself) EDIT!! It's a Swiss delegation! I translated incorrectly. Don't tell the minion - he's proud of himself. This one is going to be a favorite. They're going to float that out! Edited May 22, 2014 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to float that out! Great photos as always. Two things that I notice, the poles for the outside windjammer area looks like they may allow for the canopy to have walls in addition to the roof in case of rain. The photo also makes it obvious that the bridge wings will be outside. That will be a tough place to get to during arrivals and departures. It's a tough place to get to on Oasis and those are secret, these are off the adult solarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted May 23, 2014 #1970 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Looking at the section of Anthem directly in front of Quantum is really massive. The mini float out of Anthem will be really interesting to see with this huge section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200S Posted May 23, 2014 #1971 Share Posted May 23, 2014 It is hard to believe the section of Anthem can be floated out. I would bet there is nothing low in the keel for ballast which has to make it more difficult to keep upright. I would think they would have a wind limit on being able to move the section.

That section contains the engines so it was likely picked intentionally to lower the center of gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
