deliver42 Posted December 1, 2022 #2428 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Thank you. I was looking at the last picture, and saw that lit thing up in the air. I guess it's a crane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Quantum Class has wing access. If it ends up not having a doorway it’s got to be because of certain conditions have to be maintained for the Aquadome. Just a guess though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunagoras Posted December 4, 2022 #2433 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere! Yesterday the RCCL blog announced some 10 new things about the brand new Icon of the Seas. While most of them are basically improvements/evolutions from the past generation venues, there were 3 things that stood out on me from the post: 10 new Icon of the Seas designs preview more of the cruise ship | Royal Caribbean Blog First of its all, let me to say that it seems that in some photos it seems that they've somewhat slightly dimmed out the brightness level on most of the color palette. Great if true! Second: "The Lemon Post Bar" seems very nice as concept to join generations around a family friendly bar for adults and kid friendly drinks. Me thinks; add an ice cream parlor to that it'll be perfect! I've been one of the most vocal Icon naysayers for sure, but there's a thing where I'm more than happy with their initiative: The new crew areas! C19 has been a mess of its own, but if for the life of our cruising crew it is paving the way for a better life environment for them all; I can say; it was worth the effort. Crews deserve to be respected, praised and honored as they are: The brave souls of the high seas! Bravo RCCL for this initiative to let the crew to feel a little bit of what we, the passengers, have available for our enjoyment! Surely those mockups show some childish crew areas, but all the ship seems childish as well... Either way; the crew areas seem now to match the pax ones, and that is a strong evolution. Hope all cruise lines to follow suit!... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisemapper is not showing it, I guess since it doesn't have a name yet in AIS, though it does show up on Marinetraffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can paint the hull in the spring while the Icon of the Seas is afloat using a floating dock for the starboard side. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eremita85 Posted December 9, 2022 #2447 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) So today was the day for the float out ceremony! They were already filled the pool before the event, propably during last night. They fired a cannon too at the end of the ceremony, which you can see in the third photo if you look very closely 😄 they might start to move the ship tonight. Tug 'Saturn' is currently on its way to the shipyard, the rest of the tugs comes from the Port of Turku.
