I'm just trying to guess how many minions it took to move it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailingSiggy Posted June 1, 2014 #2054 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Not many! They're strong swimmers! I just wonder if we shouldn't enlist the aid of a minion or two at Cape Liberty to make sure the port facility is ready by the time Quantum arrives ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv_nyc Posted June 1, 2014 #2059 Share Posted June 1, 2014 This might be a silly question, but where is it floating to? Is it going to another hall and the Quantum moving up? Sorry, I haven't studied the Hall plans as much as you guys. :). Thanks for the awesome pics HD1080ide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I haven't studied the Hall plans as much as you guys. :). Thanks for the awesome pics HD1080ide! Quantum will come out next and then they'll float the section back into the hall a bit further down to allow full length build. They'll set the separation gates 2/3rds down and then will start to lay Norwegian's Escape Keel behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single Cruiser Posted June 1, 2014 #2061 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The float out of the first segment of the Anthem of the Seas will be on Sunday, 11:00 CEST (9:00 UTC). http://www.noz.de/lokales/papenburg/artikel/479334/meyer-werft-dockt-sonntag-schiffsbauteil-aus Do you know when Quantum's coming out??

Sorry, I haven't studied the Hall plans as much as you guys. :). Thanks for the awesome pics HD1080ide! It will remain docked outside Hall 6 until August 3. On that date, after the Quantum of the Seas & the second Anthem section are floated out, both sections will be floated back in, joined, and have the bow section and the aft section (which includes the Two70 venue) attached. I don't think that they will be moving the Quantum. Does anyone now know for sure. Any updates? I know we've posted about this before. The next Anthem section is one that is forward of the one floated out today. I suppose they could build it facing 'backwards' and in August float in the first section 'backwards' so that it can be attached to the second section's rear. The whole ship would then be facing the other way and have to be floated out backwards - which has been done before. Eep! That gave me a headache! Someone commented on Facebook about moving the Quantum of the Seas forward and building the next section behind her: It would simply make life easier for them instead of having to float out on August the second section of anthem then Quantum, and then move in two sections, when they could just move Quantum, start building behind quantum the rest of anthem, and then move in the first part of anthem. Also they need to give the spotlight to Quantum during her float out, not to anthem with two giant sections. We'll have to check out Monday's webcam image ...

Single Cruiser Posted June 1, 2014 #2064 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) (Con't) Last but not least, the chart again … Photos by visitor Jan van den Heuvel So looking at this plan again and the dates. Does that mean they are a month behind? As 1st June shows lots of assembled blocks?? Edited June 1, 2014 by Single Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das zweite Element folgt mit dem Ausdocken der „Quantum of the seas“ im August. Nach dem Ausdocken des Kreuzfahrtschiffes werden beide Schwimmteile wieder in das Baudock manövriert und dort verbunden. Anschließend werden die Blöcke für den Bug und das Heck aufgestellt und das Kreuzfahrtschiff ist komplett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting about showing that chart! I'll post it on FB for the guy who assumed that the Quantum would be moved (but won't!). Could have saved me trying to word how a Quantum move and Anthem build could be done if they wanted to. Thanks!

Single Cruiser Posted June 1, 2014 #2067 Share Posted June 1, 2014 So on that basis, with Blue Quantum, the pinky colour Anthem, then the new blue at the bottom would be Norwegian Escape so they are building that in front of Anthem in September :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have saved me trying to word how a Quantum move and Anthem build could be done if they wanted to. Thanks! Lloyd- Thanks for sharing those amazing pictures this morning. Looking at the chart it would appear that they are ahead of schedule on Anthem as more blocks seemed to have been assembled in the floated out section.

postie63 Posted June 1, 2014 #2075 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks for sharing the pictures of Anthem:) Never realised they built the ship in complete sections like that and joined them together so pictures have been fascinating. Hope to see alot more before she sails out in April. Edited June 1, 2014 by postie63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
