Tall-Cruiser Posted June 2, 2014 #2103 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Nice photo from RCI PR. Wonder if it's the new outdoor webcam? ;) Very nice picture. I find it interesting that with all the secrecy and hype RC put out/restricted, changing the home port on Quantum, Anthem emerges first out and in style (although not complete).

Hope that you had a good time videotaping the event. Edit: I guess you didn't see Inselvideo's giant pigeon. :D Thanks! It was a really nice day! Luckily, there were not as many spectators as usual and no huge fence at the quay wall. That made it easy to get nice shots. I saw a pigeon at normal size.;) It seemed to be very tame. Maybe a carrier pigeon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Lloyd noted above you captured a lot of up close details. One of the few times I have seen a video were the operator zoomed into those orange rollers/bumpers on the side of the building dock to help guide the ship out. Also what is that thing on the side of the ship about 2.16 minutes or so into your video. Is that something damaged or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hac82 Posted June 2, 2014 #2108 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I saw that and thought it might be the location for the stabilizers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted June 2, 2014 #2109 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I saw that and thought it might be the location for the stabilizers. Good point, you may be right on that. It just looked kind of rough edged that made me wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted June 3, 2014 #2110 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I saw that and thought it might be the location for the stabilizers. Too late to edit my last response. Question I had is, isn't that section more towards the aft of the ship? Stabilizers are usually installed more mid to forward if I am not mistaken?

HD1080ide Posted June 3, 2014 #2111 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thank you and great video.... Also what is that thing on the side of the ship about 2.16 minutes or so into your video. Is that something damaged or something else? Thanks. I was wondering about this part, too. First I thought it could be a part of the stabilizer. But as you can see at 2:24 and in the following shots, this part is only at the starboard side. That's why I believe that it is simply a part which forms a flat surface to tighten the section at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted June 3, 2014 #2115 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Nice. That last photo with blocks... Reminds me that I haven't seen the Anthem's Two70 block yet. Maybe I missed it in hall 5? Sent from Lloyd's mobile phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmacats Posted June 3, 2014 #2118 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Nice photo from RCI PR. Wonder if it's the new outdoor webcam? ;) I love this picture.

At about .50 min into it the Anthem Bridge is visible in front of those blocks on the left. Also visible on the last of the three photos you posted above. Thank you!

These recent photos and videos have been very interesting with great reveals. Wish I was in Hall 6 to actually see the re-joining of the Anthem sections back as one whole ship.

Lloyd555 Posted June 4, 2014 #2122 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) RCI has put some photos on their site of Sunday's float out of the Anthem 'megablock' as they call it. Kind of like that, as opposed to 'section'. http://www.royalcaribbeanpresscenter.com/news-topic/36/construction/2/images/ As they put it: A megablock from Anthem of the Seas is put into position at the Meyer... Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. The block is approximately 120 meters in length, 41, 4 meters wide and has a height of 60 meters.

DEIx15x8 Posted June 4, 2014 #2123 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) The fact that the Anthem was able to easily be broken into these sections makes me wonder if they designed her to leave the option open for an addition to be added in the future. After the Enchantment others were to be lengthened as well but they found the costs were not worth the benefit. I wonder if things were to change in the future if they may try to extend one of these. No matter what it's always better to have the option and not use it than to not have it and want it. Edited June 4, 2014 by DEIx15x8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd555 Posted June 5, 2014 #2124 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) This morning a fire broke out "Quantum of the Seas" in the cabin section of the cruise ship under construction, located in the building dock Hall 6. Two people were wounded slightly. Staff and Visitor Center were evacuated. The fire is according to shipyard spokesman Peter Hackmann under control. http://www.noz.de/lokales/papenburg/artikel/480600/feuer-auf-der-papenburger-meyer-werft-1 http://www.noz.de Edited June 5, 2014 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
