Right now the second mega block is waaayyy over there in front of Iona. Updated webcam image from Hall 6 on 1/7/2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marga.Anders Posted January 27, 2020 #154 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I live close to Meyer Werft and saw that you can do a tour there. Since I am sailing on Odyssey I would like to see the ship being build. Does anyone know what would be a good month / period to go do the tour and be certain of seeing this particular ship?

If you want to see the Odyssey you should tour the ship yard after the Iona has docked out (mid February). Then the mega block which is currently in the wharf basin will go back into the building hall and be "married" with the other mega block still inside. After that the bow and aft blocks are being added. Latest might be September... I assume the float out of the Odyessey will be in the first two weeks of September. Then app. two weeks in the wharf basin and then the Ems river conveyance. So somewhen in spring or early summer would be a good idea. Papenburg Marketing is doing the tours. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall-Cruiser Posted February 8, 2020 #160 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Lloyd - Nice closeup photos from Stefan. Looks like the right block is the bridge and solarium and the left block is the aft from deck 8 to 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onecoolchic Posted February 17, 2020 #167 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, but it appears they are missing a davit for the additional life boat. There is a need for two davits on either side to secure the lifeboats in place, but I’m not seeing that. I see enough to hold the smaller speed rescuer and the smaller life boat, but no additional davit to secure the left side of what would be the larger lifeboat. However, I do see the additional David to secure the right side. Again, I may be mistaking, and I’m only curious as I was looking to reserve a cabin in this area. Any additional info is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you see the better it gets. I don't like the fact that all RCI ships are getting same color as Oasis and Quantum. I think they should pick a different hue. I do like the dark color of Celebrity and it is not the same dark as say HAL or DCL/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
