Looks like fabric. It also looks a lot less expensive than the other chandeliers. It seems Epic has the most expensive and now we are down to a fabric? They also removed the textured walls in this area from the last few ships. This is definitely more minimalist. I think (or hope) the fabric is covering the fancy glass part of the chandelier. But you can see some of the fabric is clever designs so who knows. The columns are also different. More narrow with a light design. Its just not dramatic enough to take photos next to like on the other ships. Epic is still my favorite but that thing was made by a famous designer with authentic crystal I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic was the first ship I cruised on, and I remember when I saw that chandelier for the first time it took my breath away. Kinda hoping the Encore chandelier will look better in real life than that image... we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they all look better in person than what can be revealed through renderings. I’m thinking this one is curved & twisted panels of crystal meant to appear somewhat-fabric/ribbon like. It has the potential to be beautiful in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heheh! One thing we do know: This week will be the last pics from the visitor's gallery of a NCL ship at Meyer Werft in the foreseeable future. It's a bit sad farewell. The end of a class, maybe even an end of the first golden era of cruising innovations as on board features even reached an higher level. Over seven years ago, on the 4th of May 2012 the keel was laid for the Breakaway, the first ever Everything thread even started several months after the keel laying , and here we are, on a rainy '19 August weekend we will see Encore float out. Let's hope the Italians will give us a glimpse now and then in 2022 (and up to 2027, one of six to be delivered each year..), so if any NCL exec or Italian shipyard owner reads this: Me and my CruiseCritic friends would like to keep the tradition of the Everything threads.. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Fincantieri's build of Seaside, many of the ship building crew (and even the captain) enjoy posting on social media. There should be many pictures and videos available during the build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted August 11, 2019 #1914 Share Posted August 11, 2019 On a different note, why didn't they change the Waterfront into a 2 deck Waterfront? Surely it would cost staterooms, perhaps an extra deck could make up for that? Royal's Quantum class built at Meyer is a size larger, so it would fit inside...? Questions... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has some of the side glass been removed from the track? Could they possibly be reshaping it after-the-fact, to match the renderings? That would seem odd.

Maybe they are reshaping it after you brought it to their attention 😉 Could the "C" be next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted August 12, 2019 Author #1919 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) “Yesterday, the two propeller of the Norwegian Encore were mounted. A propeller is composed of five single leaves, the so-called flunken. Each flunke has a diameter of six meters and has a bodyweight of four tons.” Edited August 12, 2019 by TheDougOut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noworkforme23 Posted August 12, 2019 #1920 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The Bliss chandelier was beautiful, not sure I am feeling the Encore one. Maybe it is prettier lit up? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coriemarie Posted August 12, 2019 #1921 Share Posted August 12, 2019 On the font for the 'C' - I think its the same font used for JOY and for BLISS - which appears different from the regular NCL logo font. And this font just has an odd looking C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted August 12, 2019 #1923 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Think about it, a ship is pre planned way in advance, designers, mock ups, patents filed, orders given and at the yard there sure is a cruise line representative around, and when it's welded and painted and all done.. a somebody on a message board shares a photo of a really ugly wonky C on your newest ship to be. Being a NCL exec isn't easy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
