wwcruisers Posted August 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hey Derf -- long time, no see, Man! :cool: Do you have any idea what time that would be for us "left-coasters"? I'm terrible with time conversion, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I've going to be watching this one in my jammies! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also planning for pictures and videos from the Ems Conveyance in September. Thanks so much. I am so excited. RCCL really knows how to build beautiful ships, IMO. I can't wait to see this beauty fully, floating in a few days. Ya gotta give it to them, for such a massive vessel she has beautiful lines. We are on the nov 18 sailing and I am beyond excited. Can't wait for your blog update. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edjny Posted August 7, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 7, 2014 One would think that RCL would know what is going to be inside the ship by this time. The floorplan still has a lot of 'More to come' spaces. I hope that there are not just boarded up wall openings when we cruise on Dec 1st.... Come on RCL... The 'More to come' was cute six months ago but it is getting a bit old now that the ship is ready to float out. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallasm Posted August 7, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm afraid that executive2 is right - the float out will not be this Saturday - but more likely Tuesday but not confirmed This is the current message from Meyer Werft: Float out of Quantum of the Seas Expected Date: within the next days As soon as we can give more detailed information about the specific timetable, we are going to publish them in this section. Please desist from further inquiries till then. at: http://www.meyerwerft.de/en/meyerwerft_de/besucher/termine_1/wichtige_termine.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wot No Tux Posted August 8, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 8, 2014 With so little information being made available I am pondering when Q Of The Seas will actually launch & more importantly will she enter service as planned on the 02/11/2014 Something doesn't seem quite right currently & the RCI media marketing machine is very quiet......
