Ken at the beach Posted September 25, 2014 #151 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I asked the same question few days ago. MasterSchnief provided some feedback on the topic. See post 125 and 126 on the previous page. Thanks. They may on schedule but I wonder if that schedule is set at a slower pace than the Quantum.

Lloyd555 Posted September 25, 2014 #152 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Here we see the finished block assembly from a different perspective: Looks great. Hard to believe that block assembly is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overtyme Posted September 29, 2014 #155 Share Posted September 29, 2014 September webcam image of the Anthem of the Seas. She looks like she's a fresh coat of paint and a bear away from float out! What does her float out schedule look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSchnief Posted September 29, 2014 #156 Share Posted September 29, 2014 She looks like she's a fresh coat of paint and a bear away from float out! What does her float out schedule look like? She is almost done. The cabins need to be installed and in late february she will float out the building dock, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that when she floats out that she'll be further along than Quantum was when she floated out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To deliver Anthem on time, Quantum was floated out very early, because the dock was needed for Anthem's construction. Quantum layed in front of the building hall for more than seven weeks.

Do you happen to have links to the thread/construction progress for the new Oasis class ships? Sailing in Summer 2016, means that I may have a choice to go on the new Oasis class ship or the Anthem (leaning towards Anthem, since I was already on Allure and I live in New York, so no flight needed).

Thanks Lloyd! I can't wait to find out why there is +1% more of this Oasis class ship, and what will make her different than her sisters. I'm also guessing that this one will go to the Asian market.

Maticus22 Posted October 1, 2014 #166 Share Posted October 1, 2014 What is the reason for Quantum, Anthem to be assembled in position 2, why not position 1, next to the door for float out? It would have more of a moving assembly line to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted October 2, 2014 #167 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What is the reason for Quantum, Anthem to be assembled in position 2, why not position 1, next to the door for float out? It would have more of a moving assembly line to it. I guess to keep up with the current build schedule this happens to be the most efficient way to do it faster. With the current size of ships being built in Hall 6, they dont have the length to build two complete ships at the same time and keep on schedule. As such, by starting the next ship on order in position 1 next to the door as you put it, they can build a mega block float it out then start a second mega block. Second mega block then gets floated out so that the ship in position 2 can exit the building dock. Both mega blocks are then floated back in to position 2 (back of Hall 6) and assembly continues. This is same process that was recently executed for Quantum/Anthem and it has been done before by Meyer Werft. They are very good at this as we all have witnessed.
