Has Icon also been built with retractable funnels?

Funnels down, funnels up

Would it be for bunkering? Might be easier to fill her up with LNG in Copenhagen than in Turku. 

Maybe? The last time they were bunkering the Icon with LNG was at the beginning of October here in the shipyard.

Some photos from tonight, the arch got some light!

Is that the WJ on the deck directly beneath the waterpark? 

Yep I think.

Looking at these latest photos, I'm in a daze.  I've been watching the old series "Love Boat" (1977-1987) on Sundays, and the difference between a cruise ship then and this magnificent Icon is unbelievable!!

What about these one? 😄 taken this evening.

Some photos of the arrival:

Icon stopped dead today and a tug from Dalsbruk in the South of Finland came out to meet her. Bringing some people out perhaps?

Are you sure the tug wasn't Neptun from Hanko? They brought people on board for the final tests. The Icon should be coming back to the shipyard tomorrow.

How can it be with the pillars in the middle?  

There's no pillars in the middle, the pillars are where the seats are.

All of @Eremita85 photos are always outstanding 👍

Thanks 🙂 can't say the same about the videos. I was taking a video for probably an hour when the Icon was passing by, but when I got home I noticed that there was no video, I had forgotten to press the damn record button I guess?

The weather cleared up just in time! Beautiful shots.

Nicer weather than yesterday for sure 😛

Let the second sea trials begin!

The water must be real cold for swimming this time of the year with the snow just starting, but I suppose many enjoy that there 😀

Icon is looking good with its lighting at night. 

the water temperature looks to be around 6,8c at this moment:

Thanks for the update. Just looked at webcam and looks like a lot of people are out probably to see Icon.

Some of them propably, but there is sauna which is pretty popular throughout the year 🙂 some people are still swimming in the sea too! 

Our local tug from port of Turku already left, three others which came from elsewhere will propably stay there whole night.

Icon's departure was canceled this evening and postponed to tomorrow morning.

It took a while, but here are some of my photos from the Icon of the Seas' inclining tests from last Tuesday. The inclining tests took five hours to complete.
