There is that odd block again. I can't wait to see it for myself on board the Icon. 😄

It looks like the block the piece from the post above by @Panda Monium but we're seeing another side to it. Interesting.
I have not seen it elsewhere. It looks like it's sitting on the dock near Celebration's stern, yes?

Yes it is.

I saw this odd  piece in the background of a recent photo. Any idea what it is? Is it in any photos on the other social media site? 🤔

No idea, you tell me 😄 someone said that it might be for lifting the dome into place when the dome is finished or then it might go under the dome.

Ya. Too fancy for something to use to lift the dome. Framework like that has been around a while in small pieces,  placed on the ground inside the dome and on the inside of the dome, etc.

Wait, What?  Why?  Why do Captains control IV when they cannot control. balcony?  Confused

 

There is more of a need to be able to close the IV windows when it's raining, there are high winds, or if the windows are to be cleaned. The captain (or bridge staff) will automatically close the windows and then allow them to be reopened when the weather threat is over, or cleaning is done.

The bridge is installed but currently covered with that white material.

 

My bad. I knew about the bridge. Don't know why I put it in the list of to-dos.  🙄

Besides the installation of remaining blocks, bridge and the dome, there's the lifeboats,  slides, rock wall, azipods, rides?, etc.

Another view of the newest blocks added atop the ship.

It's  all going to come together quickly up front , with the forward pieces being installed in quick succession.

Do we know which company will most likely make the life boats for the Icon?

It looks like a top portion of the bow has been added.

I am on the lookout for ...

new ride?

zip line?

water slides

dry slide (s)?

rock wall(s)

FlowRider (apparently only one on the ship)

carousel

vehicle in promenade

100architect playground?

Celebrity Ascent getting her azipods soon.

Icon of the Seas should be getting hers soon, no?!

I'm  looking forward to the new blocks that go in this spot. We only have a portion of the seating area for the venue here. Want to see more pieces of it. 😎

@Lloyd555 

I saw your comment elsewhere on social media with the image of the AquaDome pool! It looks awesome.

Meanwhile, down in Central Park...

There is the top of the Pearl (as named by Michael Bayley 🙂) poking out into Central Park.

📷 ?

 

Am I seeing square holes on the side of the Pearl?! Temporary or access hatches maybe.
