Well, they installed the lifeboats inside. 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.

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.

And a video. The shipyard needs more outdoor lights, or at least some bug zappers, to increase the lighting. The tug boat visible to the left is called WhyBotherPostThisVideo 😜

That is only part of the whole smoke stack assembly. The other parts were installed outside the hall including the cover/shell.

Paul Smith, a contractor for Royal, told me back during the Quantum  of the Seas build that it's called the funnel exhaust stack fairing.

Yes it does, but does not have all the parts and as Lloyd just noted “ funnel exhauststack fairing”.

For illustration see this photo of Ovation outside the building hall with the complete set.

Thanks Lloyd for reminding me of the correct name.

You're welcome.  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...

I’m sure @Lloyd555you remember this photo from back in the day. Look what’s next to the cranes at the outside dock.

Courtesy - Ingrid Fiebak. She took some amazing shots of ships at Meyer.

Spectrum of the Seas' (checks notes) funnel exhaust stack fairing in the same spot, ready for the ships that dock there for finishing.

Looks like they could be doing the same drill soon with Odyssey.

Yup.

First the float out. Ugh. If I  want to see it live, I need to be up in early morning here in Ottawa. 

[dalee21860]

where can you see it live ?

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

Some people have a live Facebook or YouTube video.

we were talking about the smoke stacks not the life boats  but sure is strange how they had put them onboard and then removed them

Perhaps they put them only on the starboard side (as seen in the photos posted on November 16).

 

I do see a fast rescue boat on the port side though. 🙂

@Lloyd555 but those are just the fast rescue boats, not the live boats.

 

Funnel, yes, usually they only add the "crown" outside the building hall. The tubes are there.

In one of Meyer Werft's Instagram images we can see the black 'bumper' installed on the aft to help protect it from the tug boat pushing against it during conveyance (as seen in two Ovation of the Seas photos).

The AIDACosma megablock is now being moved to make room for Odyssey of the Seas. 

 

With that in mind, a Throwback Thursday moment...

Almost that time for her to come out.
