Tall-Cruiser

The vessel MERIAURA has been involved in many of the RCI ship block transportation including those of Icon captured by @Eremita85

Very cool. Thanks

Nice to see the rarely seen Port side of the ship. Thanks

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all and your families.

Very cool to see. Thanks for sharing

Have they finished painting the blue around the entire hull or is some being done later? Thanks

Ridding on your “yet” then perhaps still a possibility. 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.

A good article but not necessarily new information from what has been shared thus far. https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/2022/11/heres-all-we-already-know-about-the-icon-of-the-seas/

All of us here at CC and on the other social media sites appreciate the time and effort (and the "long night photo session") you take sharing the fantastic photos you take. Very very cool stuff and I keep looking at them over and over 😀. Hope you got some good rest and sleep over the weekend 🙂. Many thanks again,

Some daytime shots from yesterday by finki.22 . I think @Eremita85 mentioned he was a friend of his that also takes photos at the shipyard. https://www.instagram.com/p/CklMMBiI3xp/

Wow! Really great photos and thanks for sharing. The whole thing/process looks incredible.

Very cool. Maybe in the next day or so it will be installed. She’s come a long way not that long ago when the first section was placed in the drydock to this moment with the last big piece.

Wow! The fact that it took 8 hours definitely underscores the complexity as you note and delicate nature of that thing and the Aqua Dome in close proximity. Thanks for sharing these images. By the way, do have any recent closeup photos of the starboard side Suite area around deck 15 and 18 that you don’t mind sharing here? Thanks

Hard to tell from some of these images.

Good question. From the renderings shared thus far, it does not look like there is access. I was thinking the access would be somewhat similar to Quantum Class.

I think it looks nice and will most likely continue to grow on some of us. I do like the creation of those Panoramic View Cabins that will have part of the dome as their ocean view. One thing I did not see in the rendering and previews is an opening and access to over the Bridge Wings. Doesn’t look like she will have any open deck space up front and over the Bridge.

It will give them a reason to say, The Magnificent 7. 😀

Thanks again for sharing your photos. Will they be bringing more sections/small blocks for the mid ship area where on Oasis class would be Viking Lounge section or Playmakers on Quantum Class? That area seems to be missing something. I think @Lloyd555 mentioned there might be something there.

@Eremita85. Very cool and thanks for all your photo sharing here.

Wow! Really Great photos. Many thanks for sharing. It’s really coming together with all the pieces.

Those two odd blocks have now been installed. See finki.22 pictures from link below. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYxOl-oM3y/

Great attempt lining things up. Sometimes the silhouette with the various curves and cutouts dont actually matchup with the actual ship. I think Quantum was sort of the same as Royal also kept it a secret for a long time. I keep looking at the photos with the new Suites added and wonder how the Aquadome / Solarium all fit together. And if there is something directly over the Bridge before the Solarium glass?

Possible second partly covered area above deck 16 mid ship?

Thanks! Yeah I kept looking at that mid section and it seemed off. From some of the photos I’ve seen, it looks like there’s outdoor deck area on that white area, port and starboard, similar to what Odyssey had called Social 8 or something. That teen area in front of the SeaPlex. Plus the middle of those two areas is open for something as of now. So as you said, more to come.

The bridge is installed but currently covered with that white material. The port side aft block with the infinity pool is yet to be installed too. Will there be any more Suite blocks mid or forward? The mid-ship top area around the recently installed Crown & Anchor seems like there could be more to be installed around that area?
