Maybe they are on a roll. 😁 So far, it's supposedly going to be Friday - Saturday now. Meyer Werft wanting to keep crowds away due to Covid means not making schedule public. I thought they did them outside perhaps due to height limitations and clearance exiting the hall. In any case doing the most inside makes sense.

Rare steamboats Posted November 25, 2020 #827 Share Posted November 25, 2020 The life boats are gone on the last photos. Some tug boats gathered near the building hall. Seems like we are now getting very close to the float out. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shipyard needs more outdoor lights, or at least some bug zappers, to increase the lighting.

I have to look it up each time a photo pops up with one of them in it. So after learning the name for Quantum of the Seas I've looked it up for four Quantum class & three Oasis class ships. When Icon class' first one shows up, it'll be the eight time... Edited November 25, 2020 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may still be a webcam above the hall door that usually captures the ship exit. This is Quantum of the Seas' bow. There may be a live feed from NDR2 https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/index.html Some people have a live Facebook or YouTube video.

I do see a fast rescue boat on the port side though. 🙂 Edited November 26, 2020 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted November 26, 2020 #845 Share Posted November 26, 2020 @Lloyd555 but those are just the fast rescue boats, not the live boats.
