A very brief video clip including real footage of the Beach Club at Bimini construction (vs CG rendering), they say it is ahead of schedule ...

I don't usually post their tweets, but this one goes out of its way to say it's real video and not a CG rendering (not much of it, but still interesting).

There are some actual photos floating around (not just renderings) of the different venues.  It appears that there was a walk through recently. When I have time I’ll try to copy and post them.

[roscoe123]

These are just a few of the photos I was able to find.  I did not take these pictures myself.

Would you be willing to tell me where you found those?

It was on a social media account. The original poster was Italian.

I wouldn't say no. I would also just take a link if you want to share, but if not I understand.

The chair hogs are going to need REALLY big towels and books for those loungers.

Not in this subforum. I also tried to find the source so I could give credit properly, and came up with nothing in reverse image searches. 
 

Got a link?

First impressions are that the spaces are kind of sterile and basic, with lots of communal seating that don't look all that comfortable.  I don't see too many areas that I would want to hang out in for any length of time.  Industrial is the overall word that comes to mind.  Even the deck support trusses are left exposed (that aft balcony shot looking up).  The one pool for the entire ship (besides the spa pool) is tiny tiny tiny.  Of course these are early days and too early to really judge.  Put the finishing touches on the spaces and add people and my views could certainly change.

I kinda agree. Also the first impressions is the overabundance of outdoor lounging areas with cushions/mats as opposed to individual adjustable sunbeds/loungers.  This ship continues the current trend of separating the Gym and spa areas. I like that the spa has hot tubs and whirlpools and places to sit and relax. Those elements are missing in Celebrity's Edge Class ships and while the spas on those class of ships look great there's no hot tubs/whirlpools and not enough sitting and relaxation areas.

I didn't notice any individual heated tile loungers in the spa but there are large stone platforms. Hopefully those are heated otherwise they're kind of useless in a spa area.

Found a few more.

Marinetraffic shows her planned arrival to Dover on 2/20, though she has not yet left Genoa.

[Biker19]

She's on the way - looks like she left Genoa about an hour ago. Dover arrival scheduled for 9:45 AM Thursday.

It seems like they are leaning heavily on Instagram for today's stuff.
