44North Posted December 21, 2017 #726 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi Lloyd and all: I think the bow shot shows a stunning profile... this ship is way ahead of the curve ... Thank you again Lloyd for all these postings. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everybody. All the joys this season can bring to you and your families is wished to one and all! Cheers, Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise47 Posted December 21, 2017 #727 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks Lloyd555 for sharing the installation photos of that awesome bridge block. I agree 44North the exterior construction of The Edge is ahead of schedule. The glass at the stern of the ship is Eden. Also, The Celebrity Edge looks better than a car carrier ferry ship .

cruise47 Posted December 21, 2017 #728 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Looks like there are four(4) or five(5) more blocks that are needed to be installed on The Edge. This could and is one outstanding photo album on The Edge. Thanks you Lloyd555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unquestionably Eden. I wrote 'I see glass (or whatever it is) on Eden' because I get asked about the roof/window on Edge and on the Symphony of the Seas' Solarium. People want to know what it is made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare C-Dragons Posted December 21, 2017 #731 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have enjoyed watching the building process, thank you Lloyd. I am also waiting to see the final aft section of decks 8-12 installed. I guess they are going to finish installing the glass for Eden first. Hopefully it won’t be long now!

Lloyd555 Posted December 21, 2017 Author #732 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think that another block is being added at the rear. This is where the ship is at now... I think.

PatC Posted December 21, 2017 #734 Share Posted December 21, 2017 She has really come together in the past week! Looks like a beautiful ship. The bow is so different. I can't wait to sail her in January, 2019. Lloyd you are doing such a wonderful job, and service, to all of us who love to watch a ship take place. I followed you with Silhouette and I believe Eclipse and now this new series. Thanks so much. Pat C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolforkatz Posted December 21, 2017 #736 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Here is that block being added to the rear of the ship, as seen in the shipspotting.com photo. Wow - what a great shot! I think this ship is going to be stunning. Can't wait to sail on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted December 21, 2017 #737 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Is there room to install the Magic Carpet in the drydock, or will that have to wait until the ship is in a more open location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloopsailor Posted December 21, 2017 #738 Share Posted December 21, 2017 ......I followed you with Silhouette and I believe Eclipse and now this new series. Thanks so much. .....I didn't follow Eclipse and Silhouette. The Eclipse and Silhouette construction photo series were by Andreas Depping. He was given access to the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany where the S-class ships were built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertram4me Posted December 22, 2017 #740 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Lloyd: I have been watching your posts for some time and appreciate and thank you for all the great information. Based on your experience, do you think Edge be delivered on time based on the progress to date? I am booked on the 2018 NYE cruise. Because of the EXTRA high fares for that cruise, I am concerned that work will still be ongoing during the cruise as has happened with other ships. Also the crew will have had very little time to become a real team. Your thoughts? Happy holidays to you and yours, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getty123 Posted December 22, 2017 #741 Share Posted December 22, 2017 A friend recently sailed on a Celebrity ship and the crew is been kept in the dark. But a few selected ones are being shipped to France in the fall and prior to the sailing. She is going to be a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Germancruiser Posted December 23, 2017 #743 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I was about to book the NYE Cruise in 2018 as well. I am not yet decided- dear friends are on board the Millenium now and even though they like the friendly servcie the great crew and also the ship, they are rather disappointed with the food in the Main Dining Room, the Buffet is almost unbearble bad! Cova- äh al Baccio always overcdrowded, seldom one can find a seat- thanks to the drinking packages they often include in the price! Sushi- no longer for free. Solarium snack- no longer for free! That is absolutley no longer the Cruise Line of my choice. So I fear I have to stick with Cunard! The Edge may be a beauty , but with the degradation of Celebrity....! Well we will see!

Rare Germancruiser Posted December 23, 2017 #744 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thank you for shareing those wonderful pictures and all the trouble in posting them. Very much appreciated! I keep watching- even as it gets more and more unlikley that I will ever sail her- Elite Plus or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise47 Posted December 28, 2017 #745 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Is the STX Shipyard closed for the holidays. I am waiting for some new photos from Lloyd555. Looks liked there are three (3) more blocks to be installed on The Edge’s exterior. Edited December 28, 2017 by cruise47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
