Today's webcam image...

 

 

 

... and there's part of megablock #2 peeking through an open door at the other end of Hall 6.

And I thought that there were only Spirit of Discovery blocks in Hall 5 at Meyer Werft...

 

 

 

The theatre block.

Newly designed WOWBands for Spectrum of the Seas. Apparently now with a huge space dedicated to the ships name, in both Chinese and English.

That may mean you can't use it (or trade it in) on other RFID equipped ships.

Much agreed. They may also want to charge guests a premium for this piece of technology. But I heard mobile payments and cabin unlock with phones are coming, so we’ll see how it goes.

It's already $5 on other ships (non-suite cabins), not sure they can get much more than that.

Got to love 360° views.

Thanks to an AIDAnova image by Meyer Werft, I got some nice Spectrum of the Seas screen grabs. [emoji12]

Ready to be lifted 300 feet above sea level on the ship's North Star?!

Do we know why RCI seems to feel that Quantum-class ships belong in Asia/Pacific? I'm making this assumption, but I think it's obvious based on their actions. Four of the five Quantum (and -Ultra) -class ships have either ended up in APAC or been purpose-built for the market, including the two newest - and upgraded - builds in the class.

 

I'm glad that Ovation is coming to Alaska but that still puts only 2 of 5 ships in the NA market, and none in the more traditional Caribbean zones (Florida/Texas). Do they just not see these ships as good fits for the market? If so that's a shame, because Anthem has easily been in my top-two favorite ships and I'd love to have more opportunities to sail the class.

It’s all about where they can make the most $. Also, as far as I’m aware, there have been no announcements pertaining to where Q5 will sail from, so technically only 3 of 4 spend (or will spend) time in Asia or Australia . :)

My mistake. I thought I read something in this thread about Quantum 5 (Quantum Ultra 2?) also being sent straight to Asia. Perhaps I was hallucinating ;p

Given what NCL is doing with their very similar ships in 2019, I would expect two of the five Q5 ships to be in NA, once Q5 comes out.

A slightly better rendering from the RCI Singapore site.

^ still a bit weird to see Skypad overhang the ship like that.

Might as well start with this article from May 2015

 

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. ordered a fourth Quantum-class ship from Meyer Werft, Papenburg for delivery in 2019

They are naming a ship after a cable TV / ISP company??? :eek:

Open back door = a view of the front of the ship. [emoji16]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

 

There are still some sections being floated down the river to the ship yard.
