Great images indeed. Sometimes I look at those Bridge Wings and think, hmmm! perhaps there could be a chance they will add outside access. It’s hard to tell though given all the images we seen thus far.

The unloading of the Icon of the Seas' lifeboats from BBC Nile.

Thank you for the great photos.
Are there any photos where we can make out the name of the ship? It would be funny to see it on the life boats before getting to see it on the hull of the ship. 😁

No, last night it was too dark (also very windy, that's why I don't have any drone footage of the ship's arrival) when the ship arrived, and later with the drone I wasn't able to go that close because I try not to fly inside the port if possible.

This is from today just before the BBC Nile left.

Any firm word or reasonable speculation on what the Pearl will be?

[Lloyd555]

The name is on the ship's bow... in very small font.

For the most part it is just a fancy staircase.

 

It was designed like it is as it serves mostly a structural function to allow for the huge window opening above

Gee I know some folks thought Odyssey and Wonder were too big, but this is going the opposite way IMHO and too small.

I believe that there will be the big name on the hull as well. 😊

 

Utopia of the Seas has something similar.

Well that previous quote didn't work, did it. ☹️

 

This is the image I wanted to show.

Great photos.  What is the ship currently in the drydock?

Maybe the delivery could be delayed, Cadiz (Spain) updated their official cruise schedule for 2024 and it shows now Icon of the Seas on 23 June 2024 8.00-18.00 from La Rochelle to Port Canaveral.

That would be a 6 month delay! Imagine all those cruises being cancelled.

I’d bet that’s actually Utopia.

That would make more sense. it shows also the length of Icon and it says 364,96 m. Utopia should have around 362 but let's wait and see, maybe you are right and just a placeholder.
