Heheh.. we at CC say; sorry NCL for spoiling your extended race track!

Will be a hoot! Not worried about the ship being ready on time...expect any issues to be ironed out by the time the Aussies take the inaugural go kart championship!

 

You're going down sir! ;p

Regarding the race track I just read an article on another website that talks all about the details of the track on the Bliss. How it will have 10 turns instead of the 8 on the Joy, and that it will be cantilevered over the side to make it longer. This did not seem to be speculation or fake news.

That was reported months ago but NCL hasn't made an "official" statement. The original report was quoting FDR.....so most people believed that FDR let the cat out of the bag a bit early.

Looking at joining the transatlantic cruise. I enjoy reading the updates, thanks.

A quiet week for Bliss..

 

On the Bliss.NCL.com website deckplan page the sideway view of Bliss seems to show a tarp covered Spice H2O, pretty identical to Joy;

 

 

Opinions?

Might be nothing as she has her old design funnel too I now realise.. :)

A view into the secondary building hall, where the construction of the blocks is taking place;

 

 

Seems to be the black glassed Waterfront forward dining areas roof top frames? Parts/blocks come in at the top left, work towards the point of view, get lifted to the right and work back again to exit the building hall and via transport to the large building hall.

 

Overviewing an older post, which now seems obvious; the flat black frames are the kart track ofcourse! :D

The first megablock this weekend;

 

 

[FreestyleNovice]

A piece of the next megablock visible in a visitor's photo;

 

 

The pool deck (green lines), with a top part one of the cantilevered hot tubs sitting on the pool deck (red arrows). Also slightly and partial visible is the pool cut out which seems to be square in this end and the upper level of the pool deck of both sides of the ship.

I hate when they avoid those leaks for so long! Now try to find a stack of kegs in a corner.

Sounds rather traditional "Breakaway/Breakaway+"... anything suggesting possible Joy similarities (garden area)?

Guessing the pool shape from earlier photo's, with a second photo confirming it?

 

 

 

Purple arrows for the shape, the blue one indicating a white diagonal? stair similar to Joy too?

Heheh, lets wish for a Google hit on some subcontractor celebrating their second contract :D

[FreestyleNovice]

The already painted stairs (different contractor/build site/easier to paint it as a whole item before it goes on board) could be these from the Joy pool deck;

Why does that one bit of deck 9 stick out ?

 

It can't think of anything special in that area.

The blue part? That's some kind of reusable platform for hoisting on and off. Probably for garbage bins, saw similar platforms on the various aft balconies on BA/BA+ before.

I really hope so. They need more shade options in that area, hopefully the Vibe has the covered hot tub like on the getaway as well.

The section with the pool deck and stairs on the outside megablock;

 

 

The diagonal placed stairs are much like Joy's, nothing like Escape's pool deck bar at more or less the same spot.

The larger white structure seems to be a free standing pool bar or water slide structure or ??, although it seems to take up more space than Escape's pool deck bar. Maybe a step back to BA class? Not sure what it is, found some great close ups of the megablock at https://www.cruisetv.de/norwegian-bliss/

I am so beyond excited to find this tread! Just booked my room for 4 last week and already decided that I didn't want my kids in the room with us. So I went ahead and booked a second room for them (since they are older)... We are set to sail on June 2, 2018. Honesty I can't get enough info fast enough to satisfy me. I guess it really gives me something to think about everyday.

(edit; green arrows to point out the box, not the temporary scaffolding rails :) )

The white box structure again, opposite to the two (assumed to be) cantilevered hot tubs which stick out on both sides of the ships. With the cut out and the window washing equipment rail (red highlight) visible and being obvious indicators.

 

Here's Joy where a structural part jots out (is that correct grammar?);

 

In other photos on that Cruisetv website the white box seems to be heavy constructed..

Late night and early morning ghost hunting; those are the cantilevered hot tubs "walls" themselves, sitting closely next to each other on deck before assembly. OMG. :o:')
