Tall-Cruiser Posted April 18, 2014 #1751 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It's only on loan in the winter months! Considering the big launch event they did to base it UK just one Summer would be very odd, especially as you're stealing Independence of the Seas!!! I also think she will be back in the UK. My only caution would be to be mindful of what could happen in light of as you put it "the big launch event they did". They did the same thing here in NY and we now know what happened. I sincerely hope you guys get her back as was originally promised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEIx15x8 Posted April 19, 2014 #1752 Share Posted April 19, 2014 If Bermuda is ready for Summer 2016 (as I would expect them to be) I think Anthem will be NYC's permanent ship. No reason to send her back to the UK and send Quantum 3 over to take her place. With Quantum 3 coming early summer 2016 or even as soon as late spring 2016 she can go right from Germany to Southampton to enter service and become the UK's new ship for summers (and perhaps year round at some point).

On the one hand the logistics of the moves you mention could make sense, but does RCI want another deployment mess like what just happened. They promised NJ a new ship, Quantun OTS full time year round that did not happen. They have promised UK cruisers Anthem OTS part time, they should honor that and avoid another period of bad press, angry and disappointed loyal cruisers. So that would mean the new Quantum 3 should be deployed to NJ based on original plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd555 Posted April 19, 2014 #1754 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Question: in the forward facing cabin windows, do they directly face outside or to a walkway? I have one one on deck 10 and never booked this type of cabin before. I love the photos and keep checking back for updates... Thanks so much. Never followed a ship build before. They face outside.

Lloyd555 Posted April 20, 2014 #1755 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I just wanted to share something forwarded to me; the Getaway float out at Meyer Werft as seen from the visitor center. Once again, Quantum of the Seas blocks in the foreground. :D Hope everybody is having a good weekend! ________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted April 20, 2014 #1756 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Lloyd- Thanks for posting the pictures. Thanks to NCL Getaway we were able to get some great initial pictures of Quantum in Hall 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomperaugrr Posted April 21, 2014 Author #1757 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Wow. Thanks Lloyd and everyone contributing photos to this thread! I was away for a week and am trying to catch up on all of the developments, including Quantum going to China. :( So much to see and read about. Lloyd, you're the best! Thanks for your diligence in tracking down and postingthe great photos. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted April 22, 2014 #1760 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) tls1012: Chocolate or vanilla?! Photos from some time this weekend and Monday. Again Quantum of the Seas hasn’t changed much... ... but another keel block up to deck 5 added in front of the build that we saw in previous photos. Didn’t realise that they’d be making it so huge before being floated out. Can’t wait to see how big it will be in May when it’s pulled out to be replaced by a new Anthem of the Seas build. May as well show off the outside of this impressive building... Photos by more lucky visitors. Got to get me a plane ticket to Papenburg! Well, one would have to first fly to Groningen Airport Eelde in Groningen, Netherlands about 82 km from Papenburg, or Bremen Airport in Bremen, Germany, about 93 km from Papenburg. Then maybe a nice bus or train ride to Meyer Werft. Edited April 22, 2014 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could make you a Fuzzy Navel one or maybe Snickers, orange creamsicle...:D I rarely get orders for just plain flavors.

Overtyme Posted April 22, 2014 #1763 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That's a nice view. She goes on for miles.... Great pic! Thanks Lloyd! I hope that Anthem stays in NJ at least through Summer of 2016 so that I can go on her. There's all sorts of speculation supporting both theories that she may go elsewhere or that she may stay in NJ. If she goes, and I have to travel, I may check out Oasis III, depending where she home ports from (my guess is that it won't be Florida, given the two other Oasis Class ships leaving from there). I guess it's possible that they roll out the new dining on the new Oasis class ship :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tls1012 Posted April 22, 2014 #1764 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That's a nice view. I wonder if they will have Segway's for the passengers to get from one end to the other??? Or golf carts. Lloyd, you are da-bomb with all these pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD1080ide Posted April 22, 2014 #1765 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Great pictures! Could that on the bottom be a part of the 'NorthStar'? May as well show off the outside of this impressive building... That's only the old one (hall 5) which is still very big but not as big as hall 6. It is :eek: big ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knots4crewzing Posted April 22, 2014 #1766 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi Lloyd,:) Thank You! Thank You! for all your time and effort. I've never followed a ship build before and you have made it so interesting. As much as i am sad with the news Q to China i am very excited to be able to sail on her. So thank you again for all your wonderful pics and keeping us up to date. Liz:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted April 22, 2014 #1767 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That's a nice view. I tried to see if we could get a better view of that trellis looking thing on deck 5 but yet again, those cranes are blocking the view. Still a great picture of her though.

Maybe something to catch any hats or sunglasses that fall off peoples' heads! ;) Oops. Not Hall 6, huh! Easy to make the mistake since, as you say, it's huge too. Thanks.

Lloyd, you are da-bomb with all these pics. Great pics Lloyd. Maybe they can use the bumper cars. Multitasking, you know everyone/ everything on a cruiseship has more than 1 job. On second thought, maybe not a good idea. LOL Denise Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that the North Star pod will be delivered as a solid sphere on a truck and installed with the crane outside the building hall. This looks more like a canopy structure for over a hot tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been expecting an update - that first photo just screamed 'RipCord build - Part 2'. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have RipCord setup somewhere to "test" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
