Thanks to all the Turku drone people out there. Without them we wouldn't see much of Icon of the Seas!

Now if only this person had zoomed in on the pieces at the back of the ship yard. There could be the ship's bridge or something new over there.  😁

 Just a lot of construction/welding tents to keep the work area and workers dry.

Too dope for me tho 😄 without permission I'll never fly inside the shipyard area like that guy did next to the big gantry crane. Maybe he had permission tho. I stay outside of the fenced areas or over the sea.

I talked once with the security guard and he said that there have been times when drones have gone nuts next to the gantry cranes and fallen down. Maybe compass or gps error or radio interference.

Yes. That shot that starts at 0:15 surprised me.

The shipyard looks so quiet while employees are off on vacation.

And someone took a photo in the ship yard. 😊

The bridge halves are ready and painted for instalment. 🙂

@Tough as Leather Ha! You called it a few posts ago on July14th. The bridge is out back. 😁

 

'So what are we going to see above it?' he asks mischievously. 😎

It looks really retro Royal Caribbean and it will just give this ship a unique look especially in top of the parabolic ultra bow.

Installation of Harmony of the Seas' bridge block for comparison...

The curvature and the wing ends are somewhat similar to that of the Celebrity Edge Class ships:

I was hoping for a more interesting looking forward end for the Icon.

Remember this future model by Meyer Werft? Even something like that may have been slightly better. 😄

A recent view of the front of the ship.

Hope they built it with promenade deck like NCL and the new MSC ships.

It doesn’t look like it . There seem like a couple of solid sections.

[Lloyd555]

I may as well ask this here as well...

So about the AquaDome, trademarked in 2021 by Royal Caribbean.

What do you think it's going to look like?

Here are some samples of famous domes with features that the AquaDome could possibly resemble.

Not sure if it’s for the AquaDome or Solarium, but there are pieces in the Shipyard that have triangular sections that look like the Canada (British Columbia) Bloedel Conservatory dome.

Thanks for the chuckle ... I'm voting for the Springfield Trappucino! 😂

I'm going with the first British Columbia dome.

And speaking of the dome, I am trying to figure out possible layouts for the AquaDome's AquaTheater & Solarium combination. 😳

Thanks for the image Tough as Leather. 

I hope that we see more of the blocks for this area. So far we haves seen some/most of the of the audience seating.
I think that the Solarium will be (mostly) up front, merging into the AquaTheatre which will merge into the supposed Suite Neighbourhood aft of the dome.

And maybe Royal will make a video about the build of the AquaDome, its venues and the pool. That would be great.

[Tough as Leather]

I think that the dark mega block has finally been moved  and installed. 😳
