Quantum Keel Blocks are in the House!


Recommended Posts

Hello,

here is an update of the "Quantum of the Seas", seen in the shipyard at Papenburg this week.

Check out in my video:

 

Greetings from Germany.

 

Thanks, Dji77n. Great video.

I've been following you on YouTube. Just watched your Sonne conveyance video. Like it!

Great video! Exactly 8 months from today I will be stepping across the gangway at Cape Liberty. :-)

Cool. They are way bigger than I thought they were.

It's not the 1st time someone said those were zip lines. These lines run to the what I finally figured out is the staircase and loading/docking area for the North Star. I had to look at these images of this spot - a mock-up and these screen grabs from the RCI promotional video to get it :rolleyes:.

 

You can see tiny triangular flags on the lines as well. Not zip lines. :D

Those look like solar powered LED deck lighting in that bottom photo, not flags. I also don't think there are any zip lines on the Quantum class.

The square box-like structure (at the edge of the glass roof) appears to be the loading/docking area for the North Star. It is at the top of the access staircases (that show up in one of the Instagram photos load shared a few days ago).

OOPS! Sorry Lloyd.

BTW, here's a nice video about Meyer Werft while the NCL Breakaway was under construction:

 

 

The best part about the video?! You get to see the employees use the tall blue permanent scaffolding. Even the big boss Bernard Meyer uses one during the tour. :D

No prob!

Nice video. We may see a video with Quantum of the Seas like this one some day.

 

Anyhow, some new photos with just one of a different view for a change. (Meyer Werft needs to put viewing window on other walls! We could get different views of the ship(s)).

I noted with some amusement, the notice at the bottom of this page...

 

http://www.meyerwerft.de/en/meyerwerft_de/schiffe/kreuzfahrtschiffe/royal_caribbean_international/anthem_of_the_seas/anthem_of_the_seas_1.jsp

 

It's says:

"A third quantum-class ship has been ordered from the shipyard and is scheduled for delivery in 2016."

 

RCI is feeling very confident with this much shipbuilding! I hope all works out well.

I came upon 3 cool photos of the NCL Breakaway.

One is of a cabin with an ocean view window under construction.

I think that Lloyd will like the other two since he - the visual guy - wants to see something like them from the Quantum class. They show the inside of the NCL ship before the cabins are installed (assuming this is a cabin deck). I don't think that we can see from one end of the ship to the other because of the (fire?) walls unfortunately.

First off. Yes, I like the last two pictures. many thanks for posting!

Secondly, thanks for bolding the ship name so that it stood out. I thought it was Quantum photos for a second. Almost peed myself. :D

Lucky us. Another video from Meyer Werft. A visitor recorded a visit made May 12th.

 

 

 

Some screen grabs from shipspotter81's video:

 

 

Up to date with the webcam image. :D

Am going to love seeing the huge hunk of Anthem being moved out so Quantum can get out of the building dock. I am surprised they have gone as high building Anthem as they have. Definitely not how ships were built when my father was doing it.

Sorry if this has been answered before: do we know when MW are floating out the partial Anthem build? I seem to remember hearing it was well before the August date for Quantum's official float out.

Some time around end of May. Should be interesting to watch.
