longhorn2004 Posted September 20, 2022 #1485 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) " Icon will be the first Royal Caribbean ship to feature a parabolic bow design. A parabolic bow is a functional design element that creates a curved indentation in the bottom of the vessel’s hull. This new bow design helps increase overall stability of the vessel by shifting the center of gravity forward. In addition, parabolic bows allow the ship to be less likely to capsize or heel. This is due to the bow creating an area of low pressure beneath the ship’s hull." Curious to how it moves the CG forward and create the low pressure under the hull https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/09/19/new-aerial-photos-show-royal-caribbeans-icon-of-the-seas-construction-progress Edited September 20, 2022 by longhorn2004 clarity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way the build is going, it’s very likely that all blocks should be installed by then. So we should know at a minimum what the ship exterior looks like.
