Thanks for sharing these photos.

Thats an interesting looking block. From the angle of photo it almost has a similar slant to the aft suites on Virgin’s Scarlet Lady. But as you stated where does it go? There was that other block with an Infinity Pool too to consider. How does it all come together. Perhaps that block is not aft facing but side facing similar to the infinity pools on Norwegian Prima. Maybe @Lloyd555 has seen something and can share some insight 😃

It's the same "infinity pool" block but they have added more floors to it.

Meri arrived this morning with the blocks.

This is dope.

 

 

Too dope for me tho 😄 without permission I'll never fly inside the shipyard area like that guy did next to the big gantry crane. Maybe he had permission tho. I stay outside of the fenced areas or over the sea.

I talked once with the security guard and he said that there have been times when drones have gone nuts next to the gantry cranes and fallen down. Maybe compass or gps error or radio interference.

Doesn't it seem unusual for the columns to get larger as they go up and not in line with the ones below?  And the tan colored ones on the left seem huge, unless they are more of decorative wrap around the actual structural column.

 

Different view of the blocks:

Meri brought some more blocks for Icon this morning. Right after that they lifted and installed that megablock which Panda Monium mentioned in earlier post.

yes it is fun to read and guess what all is happening at the ship yard.  Over on NCL they had the same thread type for their new ships back in 2018 and 2019.

Still unsure if Icon will be bigger than Oasis class through.  who knows.  And the how many ships in Icon class.  And then what is after Icon.   Always something to look forward to and discuss

I can already see that it barely fits in the building pool once the last piece of keel is installed at some point. The building pool is 365 meters long.

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.

A stern keel piece maybe. It's all I got... there is not much we can see in the ship yard lately. 😌

 

Looks to be that one behind the bulb, arrived in two parts about 3 weeks ago.

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.

I saw this on TikTok and wondered where it was taken. Now I know. 😃

 

 

 

Yep, this (and propably some other blocks) are supposed to arrive in tuesday morning to the Meyer Turku with Aura.

is that the sister to CCL Mardi Gras being built?

Yep, Carnival Celebration. There will be third ship too, Carnival Jubilee which will be built in Meyer Werft.

Edit. I was too slow with my writings... 😅 actually I didn't realize that there was page 31 already.

This photo is from this evening.

STRANGE PHENOMENON – Not related to the build, but kind of interesting.

 

I was watching the webcam for a few minutes last night (Sunrise this morning in Finland). The water was like glass. I noticed each time I hit the play/Stop live playback the flashing fuel price sign’s reflection isn’t synchronized with the sign itself. When the sign is blank, two prices are reflected in the water. When the sign has two prices showing, only one is reflected. And when the sign was showing one price, no prices were reflected. I would have thought it would reflect at the speed of light, and picked up the same by the webcam. I’m sure any photography experts would have the explanation for this phenomenon, but I still find it interesting.

That's because there is another fuel price sign for submarines underwater 😆

But for real, maybe cameras rolling shutter causes it? Don't know much about webcams. Just google "rolling shutter".

I wouldn't say most of the keel, but a more recent photo will show progress. 😊

Well this is nearly a week old photo, but I don't have any newer ones at this moment.

Couple photos when tug Argus arrived to the Meyer Turku shipyard.

Thanks for this update! 

No problem, I think this stage will now take some time and they are now focusing on the interior. Maybe some painting when the temperature rises.

Anymore visual updates of celebration? It’s been quiet for a while now. 

This is from last Wednesday.
