Lloyd555 Posted September 24, 2022 Author #1527 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) I can't recall if I brought up the boomerang shape in this thread, it appears as if it & the smaller piece next to it fit together to become a 'platform' for seating by the edge of a potential pool.

Ret MP Posted September 24, 2022 #1528 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) My information has been verified by several very highly placed plumbers that I met, on the Internet, and conversate with, often, that work on the ship, so don't doubt me. From now on, each Icon Class Ship will be carrying a "Ship Stretcher" to accommodate the number of confirmed passengers. If the ship is over booked, they can stretch it to accommodate and if the ship is less than full, they can shrink the ship accordingly, for fuel savings. They've announced already that he "Ship Stretcher" will be co-located in the storage vault with the "Muffler Bearings". No pictures or video is available, as yet. I've heard that this information has also been verified on Wikipedia but I haven't found it. Edited September 24, 2022 by Ret MP 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lloyd for this closeup. It’s a very interesting layout. I wonder what the circular cutout at the end, top right corner (next to the covered thing) would be for. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to be perhaps two levels high. Also way back in this thread we discussed that Icon May have suites up front and top similar to Edge Class ships.

Eragon666 Posted September 24, 2022 #1532 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I saw this part in the making an icon part 2, but didnt see it posted anywhere just yet. Anyone have an idea what this will be for? Because of the camera 'sliding' through it during the video, I thought it might be a rollercoaster, but I didnt see that mentioned anywhere 🙂 Or is it just a fancy light equipment rail for in a theater? 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with what I am able to see on part of the construction plans. If we can get a clearer zoomed in view of that new block, I can confirm. 😄 Edited September 24, 2022 by Lloyd555 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is aluminum, not steal, and not gauged large enough for a coaster. I’d guess is some structural part of the aquadome which, being high on the ship, is certainly constructed from aluminum to save weight and keep the center of gravity low.

I booked a Sunset veranda on the Beyond to get away from the IV's. Hi. What is the downside? It seems like they would be as good if not better than regular balconies?

You have to raise the entire shade from floor to ceiling. If they would put in a curtain instead of a shade it would make it more functional. Looks like they added a curtain of some sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
