pkexton Posted October 18, 2013 #352 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) When are you sailing - that is OUR cabin as well - we sail March 1 2015 - if you are before that I will beg you to post pics!! Sorry but we are not sailing until 4/12/2015 :( - we gotta rely on someone else to post pics:). Just keep our cabin in good shape after you leave. I am more anxious on the cabin set-up - we've been in a GS on the Explorer a couple of times so the inside may not vary too much. Where in PA are your from - I am in Exton (Chester Co.)

DKNYC Posted October 18, 2013 #353 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks for posting this - we are in Superior GS 8234 (2 decks up) - can't wait to enjoy the large balcony and see more information on these cabin types. Pat Hi Pat Loved your cabin on Explorer last march. The bathroom was at least as big as my bedroom on Quantum. I think. :) Denise Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our Quantum cruise we will be sharing it with Dad but I know we won't run out of room:D Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd555 Posted October 18, 2013 #355 Share Posted October 18, 2013 After the Norwegian Getaway floats out will they focus the first webcam on the QofS as well, showing it from another angle? Has this been done with previous builds left alone in the hall? At least we'll likely be able to se the Anthem's build from keel onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this been done with previous builds left alone in the hall? At least we'll likely be able to se the Anthem's build from keel onward. The first webcam will definitely be on Quantum and they may have the second on Anthem. I have seen cases were they use a wider angle on the webcam and show both ships in the building doc of Hall 6.

Lloyd555 Posted October 18, 2013 #357 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Did you see this great link posted by FIRELT5 in Hello 270 thread?! Awesome! It looks like it's on the deck at the far end next to the QofS keel in the basin. You can see some of the Getaway behind the Two70 block. https://twitter.com/royalcaribpr/sta...98646253121536 Edit: Having trouble with the link in this post; so here's the photo: Edited October 18, 2013 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an awesome design. At first I thought 'Hey! Doesn't the glass lean outwards? What's with the big supports leaning inward?' Then I spotted the three glass frame/support beams to the right of the workers. The other bigger supports for the framework are what is seen in videos and renderings of Two70. Cool.

Tall-Cruiser Posted October 19, 2013 #359 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Great picture of the 270 area block. I think the big support leaning inward are the supports focabin cabins above 270 starting with deck 8 and other things at the aft all the way to the top. You also notice the big support beam on the outer part on the port side (similar one should be on starboard side). Edit- if you look at some of the renderings of 270 you can see those supports inside. Edited October 19, 2013 by Tall-Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall-Cruiser Posted October 19, 2013 #363 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Looking at the workers at the back of 270 you get a sense of how massive this thing is. I hope RC PR will post some more pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlesteelo Posted October 20, 2013 #366 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Shame they decided to go with square windows and not the round ones like on previous ships. I always liked the look of those, just something extra that made RCI ships special :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're right. Looks like a good match. These two blocks look like they could be comfortably welded together... Is this one of the only photos found showing the other end of the keel blocks laid down in the basin behind the other ship in Hall 6? It's not a recent one. Anyone seen another more recent one, I wonder? I miss Ingrid Fiebak. She would have posted one on her site by now.

Tall-Cruiser Posted October 20, 2013 #371 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Lloyd - I knew you would find something. I just checked Ingrid's site but don't see a similar block. It seems you have to login to gain access to some pictures. The picture of the block on the barge as you note is maybe 100% identical to the one in the building dock below. If not belonging together, could it then be for Anthem instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the picture from 10/17 that you posted which I have tried to repost below. Edit- could not copy. See picture on post 943.
