Odyssey of the Seas Blocks are in the House

About an hour ago she moved to the Columbus Kaje Cruise Terminal. A much better position for photos.

Apparently while the Odyssey of the Seas was docked at the container terminal, satellite systems and parts of the chimney were installed.

Rumored March 24 delivery.

 

I’d say that it has a bit more credibility than a rumour since it was Mark Tamis SVP hotel ops who stated it.

You can see her on this webcam.

Not so good news are coming in from Bremerhaven... Nord24 reports that 2 rapid antigen tests have been positive upon arrival at Bremerhaven and now there are 20 people in quarantine (out of app. 1000 onboard). It´s not yet clear whether the ship will leave on sea trials today.

I just saw this on Nord24.de 
A future crew member who got news from those on board brought the situation to my attention last Friday. At the time there were 15 people he said.

Oh man ... the industry just can't catch a break! 😔 Hopefully everyone on board will be okay.

 

It sounds like it was a smart decision to schedule the first cruises roughly two months after the expected delivery! With any luck, that will provide enough cushion to accommodate delays like this.

Seems like the 2 were in contact with a person in Papenburg who later was tested positive.

 

She was supposed to go in sea trials today but stays in Bremerhaven. She pretty likely won't leave this weekend either.

Todays news... the 2 cases have been confirmed by PRC tests. While Nord24 is talking about 1,000 people onboard NDR is speaking of 500.

 

No news yet on when the sea trials can start.

According to NORD24 the number of cases has risen to 5 people. They are now investigation how the infection did spread.

Statement RCI provided to media inquiry Sunday night:

 

"As part of the stringent protocols put in place by the shipyard, all shipyard workers and crewmembers must receive a negative PCR test result before boarding. Once on board, the ship conducts daily testing. This process allowed Meyer Werft to detect any possible COVID-19 cases and take the necessary measures to contain the spread of the virus.

"Earlier this week, six shipyard workers were identified after a positive test and they were immediately quarantined land side. At this time, there are no positive cases onboard."
 

[steamboats]

Wow, the numbers do vary... NDR announced 5 more people have been tested positive - but I assume that´s a mistake so it´s more a total of 5. RCI states 6...

 

Anyway latest news... the ship is cleared by the authorities. Sea trials are pretty likely to start somewhen on the weekend (which can include Friday, Saturday or Sunday).

As always, thank you for sharing these. She looks even more beautiful from the inside! I think I'm in love. 😍

Is that a protective covering on the pool deck?
