cookiecat Posted June 6, 2017 #326 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hello. This is fun! We've booked Alaska July 7, 2018, balcony and a studio for our adult daughter, and got aft cabin for Panama Canal November 3, 2018. Took the inaugural Escape transatlantic which sold us on this ship.

FreestyleNovice Posted June 8, 2017 Author #327 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Not much (new) to see on this partial pool deck block on the foreground; There's a cut out for the main pool I think, looks like a bend or circular shape edge to me, at least it's not a square?

Steff79 Posted June 8, 2017 #328 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Looks like this section is ready to go out of the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootman4U Posted June 8, 2017 #329 Share Posted June 8, 2017 They have the ability to open but they shouldn't be opened. The dividers serve a purpose of helping to prevent/lessen the spread of a potential fire. That said, some room stewards will open them, anyway. Why would you even HAVE them if that is their purpose?

Looks like it to me. Bliss will have a totally new pool deck layout design (much improved over the Breakaway/Escape) so will be neat to see how it comes together.

Will see you on the Nov 3 2018, there is already a very active roll call. Events and all Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Wheels Only Posted June 9, 2017 #333 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Why would you even HAVE them if that is their purpose? In simple terms, they are closed to prevent/lessen the spread of fire. If there is a fire, the firefighters can "attack" the fire and get from one balcony to the next by opening the dividers. The opening of dividers for cleaning is a bonus. The maintenance crew is supposed to close the dividers once the work is done. The dividers are not meant to be used so neighboring guests can double the size of the balcony....even though some stewards will open them for that very reason. The chief engineer who posts here will explain it better, eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinMaterial Posted June 9, 2017 #340 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Is there anyway to see the block's float out online (such as You Tube live)? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Sometimes Meyer Werft broadcasts but it's usually not done live on floating out of sections but rather the whole ship. There are usually videos shortly after the float out is complete YouTube posted by several different fans of the ship yard and the cruise line who camp out to witness such events. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daninvan Posted June 10, 2017 #349 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I checked the Meyer Werft website but didn't get much of an explanation of what happens to that block next? Does it just sit outside tied to a dock while the next one is built? The reason that this wrapped in plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
