Given its location in the middle of the ship, maybe it's the entrance to a venue along the Royal Promenade. I could imagine it's a large digital projection dome you pass through to enter a nightclub? Restaurant? Bar? Hopefully we learn more soon. Circular stair to casino😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tough as Leather Posted May 31, 2022 #852 Share Posted May 31, 2022 A stern keel piece maybe. It's all I got... there is not much we can see in the ship yard lately. 😌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you really can’t see the building dock and were it was placed.

Eremita85 Posted June 1, 2022 #854 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) MERI is heading soon to Turku, arriving on friday morning. It's now in Gdansk, but before that it was in Klaipeda, and that could mean it might be time for the bow (but just guessing). My drone broke two weeks ago (motors stopped working) and it's still heading to the service center (nearly 2 weeks already and still not arrived in the Netherlands where they repair them). I decided to order a new drone, I hope to get it within 1-2 weeks when they get them in stock. It will take ages before I get my old one back if just transporting takes that long.

Thank you for the update on the (possible) Icon of the Seas bow! Sorry to hear about your drone. Glad that you are able to get a new one, & of course thank you so much for updating us on the Icon of the Seas build with your great images. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eremita85 Posted June 3, 2022 #857 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Well, managed to see from the Port of Gdansk's webcam what Meri will bring to Turku, and still not bow. And new ETA for Meri is tomorrow evening. Edited June 3, 2022 by Eremita85 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted June 3, 2022 #858 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I wonder how many different ports and locations are building the various blocks for the Icon. Like a car some parts are USA and some are foreign and then assembled in another location. Would be interesting to know just where all the parts come from.

They look like blocks of decks 7,8 and 9 to be installed above the Lifeboats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairsky84 Posted June 5, 2022 #865 Share Posted June 5, 2022 7 hours ago, Panda Monium said: 📸 Sergey Morgun This hull design is very odd. It appears Icon's lifeboats may be positioned very differently than the Oasis-class—above the main deck rather than hanging below it. And is it possible Icon will have a real promenade deck? On Oasis ships the Central Park basically replaced space that could have been an outside promenade deck. These images look like Icon will have very wide spaces facing the sea on the main deck with the lifeboats above—like on more older ships, as well as Quantum-class.

Lloyd555 Posted June 5, 2022 Author #866 Share Posted June 5, 2022 A block in Gdansk that is in the same area as were the two Icon of the Seas blocks being delivered yesterday by Meri. It just might belong to the Icon of the Seas as well. Could that left top corner be a possible seating area for the AquaTheatre on the upper decks? Waldemar Danielewicz Added outline. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we definitely rule out it being the AquaTheatre? I am looking at what is around that corner section to determine where this spot may be located. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the rink (on deck 4 most likely), then that would be decks 3 to 1 below it. That doesn't look like it would be those decks, especially decks 1 & 2.

There were some blocks either posted here or on FB by you or @Lloyd555 that some referred to as a ski slope. Is this similar to that maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough as Leather Posted June 6, 2022 #873 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Lloyd555 I saw your post elsewhere. Good one. 😁 So is that what the sphere could possibly look like when its poking out of deck8 floor and into the neighborhood? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that there will be a glass wall around the sphere, allowing guests to see not only it but the open area behind it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd, where is the shipyard located in Gdansk. Would it be visable from Voyager who will be stopping there as a replacement for St. Petersburg.
