Bottom right corner.

The fact sheet for the other sisters still says Concierge Club.

Also noted above the maiden voyage has been updated to April 2021.

 

 

That still says trapeze school, too.  Thought I read previously that it had been eliminated.

Not sure the sign on the door matters as much as the policy for its use - that seems to have been settled for Q class in Jan when D+ were booted.

 

Sailed Q class in February with D+ in the CL.  

 

Anthem and Bayonne in general is not indicative of the whole Q fleet or the world.

Yes, I should have added the caveat that the CL turning into an SL on Q class is likely to start with NA sailings and then eventually move world wide (except China where lots of things are different). Of course, anything can happen on the other side of the pandemic.

I expect that Anthem's CL has been rebranded now that she made it through drydock.  Pretty simple to change a sign on the wall.  Or perhaps the sign is stored on deck 0 waiting to sail back to Bayonne.

 

Time will tell.

The blue hull looks darker than the other Oasis and Quantum Class ships. Maybe just the shading.

Spirit of Adventure was floated down the EMS a couple of days ago so there's room for the float out.

yep. that's what's indicated on the blog. My kids are going to be Royally pissed...

 

"In addition to the cancelled sailings, Royal Caribbean also announced two other changes to Odyssey of the Seas. First, the trapeze school will no longer be a feature of the SeaPlex."

Don't think we need to worry about a float out for a few more months

Looks to me that with the hull painted she may be floated out sooner than that - @steamboats may have more info.

I don´t think that the float out of the building hall will be very soon. Usually the ships are out there for only a few weeks until the Ems river conveyance. Would be unusual to have the ship outside for half a year - especially in winter. It´s easier to work inside the building hall.

True, but I would think they need most of Hall 6 to work on AidaCosma. Also, while sailings of Odyssey have been cancelled through April, not sure that means the yard finishing her has to drag out till then.

They still have quite a bit of work to do on the bow section of AidaCosma before needing room. And don't think RCCL is gonna take Odyssey before they really have to so really no rush.

RCI may not be in a rush to take official delivery, but Meyer Wreft probably wants to get paid and get the ship off their books.

Good move on Royals part moving to SL’s on most ships. 😇

First they have to get rid of the Iona...

 

They are not in a hurry regarding AIDAcosma and trying to stretch the building time as well as with the Odyssey.

Does Odyssey have the same cabin style as Anthem

Not sure if @Lloyd555 can find any pics for a while, but very likely.

She's been in Bremerhaven for a while after her last round of sea trials. I went to the P&O site to see if they have any news on her and saw that her first listed sailing (11/14) seems pretty cheap, especially considering that's supposed to be the inaugural. Of course the likelihood of that sailing proceeding may a bit low....

Edited September 8, 2020 by Biker19

[steamboats]

She's back in Bremerhaven once again... Last news were that there are some problems with the engines and that the handover has been delayed once more. At least that was written in German media.

I thought it may need to be removed for float out but saw that Spectrum floated out with it installed.

[Lloyd555]

Ah. I think I know where it went...

 

BREAKING NEWS:

A cruise ship Sky Pad, impatient to see the world, booted off flight from Germany.
