sparkx Posted August 4, 2014 #2601 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Perhaps there is no purpose for the opening. The more and more I look at QOTS it appears Royal just took the hull design from Celebrity Solstice Class and added the Voyager to Freedom multiplier to increase the size. Solstice class also has this opening in the bow behind the helipad.

Solstice class also has this opening in the bow behind the helipad. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app It is a 'crew welfare' issue. While Voyager and Freedom class have an outdoor area for crew behind a wall on deck 5, it appears that ship design advanced to include this area in general. The recent Meyer Werft builds, Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway also have this same design. It seems that this design does not contribute to having the area open to passengers outside of special events while in port or for the intended use.

hitaway4 Posted August 5, 2014 #2606 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) There isn't even a webcam up at all at the moment... They are most likely moving it outside. When it updates next Monday, it should show Quantum floating at the dock outside. Edited August 5, 2014 by hitaway4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD1080ide Posted August 7, 2014 #2610 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Float out delayed because of bad weather. No new date yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass2Cruise Posted August 7, 2014 #2611 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Float out delayed because of bad weather. No new date yet. That for Quantum or for the Anthem block (which should have been today correct?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD1080ide Posted August 7, 2014 #2612 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) That for Quantum or for the Anthem block (which should have been today correct?) The Quantum float is delayed. I don't know if the Anthem float out is delayed, too: http://www.meyerwerft.de/en/meyerwerft_de/medien/wichtige_termine/wichtige_termine.jsp I suppose that they will float out the Anthem block today or tomorrow, because the weather is quite good. EDIT: Anthem block float out maybe on Monday: http://www.schiffe-und-kreuzfahrten.de/ausdocken-der-quantum-of-the-seas-verschiebt-sich/ Edited August 7, 2014 by HD1080ide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass2Cruise Posted August 7, 2014 #2613 Share Posted August 7, 2014 That article says Anthem on Monday and Quantum on Tuesday. The agony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD1080ide Posted August 7, 2014 #2614 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A new press release by Meyer Werft says that they will announce a new float out date in the beginning of the next week. An article on ndr.de says that they need 12 hours for the entire process (I think they mean Anthem+Quantum float out + Anthem float in). So it is still possible that all the work will be done in a single day. It would be nice to see that.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, something's not finished that can only be finished indoors;) Looking at the weather forecast for there I would agree. If the weather on Saturday morning (light AM rain) is an issue I would not expect her out until Thursday as things just get worse on Sunday and Monday with rain remaining Tuesday and Wednesday. Winds are around 15mph as well. Edited August 7, 2014 by DEIx15x8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian131489 Posted August 7, 2014 #2617 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I wonder with all the unknowns at this point, if there was a big change order considering quantum is going to china. I wonder if there are trying to minimize the impact for the transit since it will be revenue generating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there are trying to minimize the impact for the transit since it will be revenue generating It could also be that the Anthem megablock isn't quite buttoned down enough to float out, and Quantum can't move until it does.
