Checking out the Turku marina webcam, I'm seeing some white & blue modules that I can only assume belong to the Star of the Seas. 

 

Yep, they arrived on monday. Came from Germany, maybe originally from Meyer Werft but Meri brought them either from Wismar or Rostock, where it visited before coming to Meyer Turku.

boy would I love to visit the yard for a day to watch.

Wondering who will be the captain and wondering what changes they will make to STAR based on first impressions of ICON.

thanks for the photo. I see MEIN is being built

But wondering what ship is inside the big building?  Is it a Princess ship?

Yep they are building Mein Schiff 7 here in Meyer Turku. The other picture with the ship inside the hall is from Meyer Werft in Germany, they are building Silver Ray in there: https://www.meyerwerft.de/de/unternehmen/webcam/index.jsp

Videos from crew disappearing on YouTube. Wonder if Royal is cracking down on leaks from the ship. Does seem a shame we’re having some of this revealed when it’s not quite ready. 

Propably. The media for example is only allowed to publish interior photos from January 11, 2024 or something like that.

Today was apparently a keel laying ceremony, but I was late to the party, people had already left Also note the flying block with part of the bow windows which will be located below the bridge.

Should follow this webcam apparently:

Will be interesting to see how they get those blocks to Turku, by barge/tugs or open deck carrier?

When is star build starting 

As soon as they get the building pool empty of water. I think they were supposed to start the assembly today, but not sure what the situation is there right now.

Some photos from today:

And they can’t do any of this in Turku because they’re building more cruise ships in the dry dock there - including Star of the Seas. 

The assembly of the Star of the Seas will start in this month. The FERU will arrive at the shipyard tomorrow morning.

Drydock is for accessing the azipods.

and clean the bottom of the ship and propellers too. The ship has been in the water for a year already.

My photos comes a little late to the party because I'm still sick after the Icon's final departure where I got the Covid but here you go the final departure

Photos from 19 - 20.11

Photos from 13 - 18.11.

The medias received an announcement about the handover event on 27.11.

LNG-bunkering vessel Kairos is coming to bunker the Icon once again before the final departure.

The estimate for the Icon's final departure is still either 28 or 29.11.

This looks like water to me. I'm guessing the screens will show moving water. 

Yesterday there was showing some underwater views from those screens.

An estimate for the final departure from the shipyard is now available

Where exactly is this? Thanks

They look a little different in the renderings. Those white bars which goes from top of the wings to under the bridge.

Looks like they have installed the white columns under the "eyebrows" but I thought they would be on the outside of the bridge, not the inside.
