Good gosh, Icon 3 isn't due to be delivered for another 2.5 years. Was the first blocks of Icon delivered this early?

A large block for the Meyer Turku ship (NB-1402 or 1402 / "Icon 3") is currently being built at the Crist SA shipyard in Gdynia. The scope of work and delivery of the Crist shipyard includes the construction of a fully equipped floating block with dimensions of 94×48×15 m for deck no. 3 of the third 'Icon' class unit. The weight of the floating block itself will be approximately 5,200 tons, and the weight of the equipment will be approximately 2,500 tons. The main elements of the block include two LNG fuel tanks. The handover of the block is planned for autumn 2024.

I read earlier today Micheal Bailey made a cryptic reference it may be based in Galveston. So we shall see if that is really what happens.

Looking at this photo for the Star of the Seas build, I spotted a potential keel section belonging to the Icon 3 (See zoomed in image below).

I'm sure that there are other Icon 3 bits in the yard. 🤔

No 'R', and too close to another famous ship name 😉

Titan of the Seas is one of the trademarks Royal has registered. However, agreed, it’s a bit too close to another ships name and you’d think they’d want to avoid that 😅

Legend of the Seas will be here before you know it.
