Is that more framework for the aquadome next to the Azipod in that last picture?

No idea, you tell me 😄 someone said that it might be for lifting the dome into place when the dome is finished or then it might go under the dome.

Ya. Too fancy for something to use to lift the dome. Framework like that has been around a while in small pieces,  placed on the ground inside the dome and on the inside of the dome, etc.

Well yeah, they just usually use the simple yellow rectangles when in need for some lifting supports.

Possible second partly covered area above deck 16 mid ship?

I've been trying to figure out how this outline of Icon we've seen in many places fits with what's actually taking shape in Turku. I overlaid the silhouette on the actual ship in this image. The new blocks added to the top deck just don't seem to line up well and may make the ship look far less sleek than the silhouette would suggest. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

Great attempt lining things up. Sometimes the silhouette with the various curves and cutouts dont actually matchup with the actual ship. I think Quantum was sort of the same as Royal also kept it a secret for a long time. 

I keep looking at the photos with the new Suites added and wonder how the Aquadome / Solarium all fit together. And if there is something directly over the Bridge before the Solarium glass?

Some images taken over a period of time.

 

A nice view of the tiered deck.

The Boardwalk. I believe that is Windjammer on the right and over on the left.

This looks like the area seen in the first Royal Caribbean video. 🙂

@Lloyd555 @Eremita85

I saw this odd  piece in the background of a recent photo. Any idea what it is? Is it in any photos on the other social media site? 🤔

It looks like the block the piece from the post above by @Panda Monium but we're seeing another side to it. Interesting.
I have not seen it elsewhere. It looks like it's sitting on the dock near Celebration's stern, yes?

Yes it is. 

 

 

Thanks.

I think that I have been staring at shipyard photos for too long. I can locate a block in the Meyer Turku shipyard but have no idea where my Weed Wacker is in my own back yard. 🤨
