He stressed the importance of the UK market which he said had been significant to the line “almost since the beginning of the company”. “I don’t see that ever changing,” he added. “In fact, it’s so important that I promise you will bring Icon of the Seas into Southampton. The UK will be the first country and market that we will bring this incredible ship into [when it launches] in 2023. “We’ll do a huge trade event in the UK and Ireland – we’ll invite all of our travel partners to see the biggest, best, most stunning exciting product on the planet. I can’t commit on the date,” he said, adding: “But it’s going to be around October time." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see them taking paying passengers out of Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Monium Posted August 2, 2022 #1109 Share Posted August 2, 2022 This is interesting. Supposed to be the starboard aft end of the ship with part of an infinity pool on the left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something that was covered in white further behind the building dock that has recently disappeared from there. Could that be it, or is that too small? Similar to the Bridge, there are lots of pieces and things we never see being delivered but are in the yard somewhere hidden then appear 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted August 3, 2022 #1115 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This is an interesting article on Norwegian Prima. Many of us here have said there are certain things we like about Prima and MSC World Europa. Indeed they have some very cool things. https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/shipbuilding-refurb-equipment/genius-behind-norwegian-primas-naval-architecture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted August 4, 2022 Author #1120 Share Posted August 4, 2022 @Tall-Cruiser Actually these pieces will be on the way to Meyer Turku onboard the heavy load carrier Meri by the end of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought if near the bow it might be one of those slanted looking top section like these below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you, @Lloyd555 and others here have any guesses what decks these could possibly be? The top one looks to be a balcony level. Perhaps 7 or 8?
