Ovation under construction

With all the hype about the conveyance of Anthem, I couldn't find any threads about this event.

Ovation's construction is going on. The four main agains have arrived at Meyer Werft.

We have progress!

Can we skip forward to see what the animal will be?! :)

Photos I made today:

The main engines and scrubbers have been installed:

Can you guess what this block will be on the ship?

My guess is perhaps the SeaPlex.

Thanks for sharing these photo updates.

Would think that it's way too early for a top level block. The square windows are usually just above the water level (deck 4 ish) so I would saw a lower back block considering the engines, etc are being working on already. Then again, maybe there are blocks ready we can't see and we should consider a top one. I could see this possibly be part of the back of the pool desk with the flat part at the top being the Gold Card sun deck.

That block is part of the top rear Port Side of the SeaPlex. On Quantum you can see those windows right next to the food truck.

Who cares about ovation now since it's going straight to China.

Sorry spoke to soon. Looks like it's going to Australia for the 2016-2017 winter season. Sorry

Tall-Cruiser - Bang on. I've seen that block too many times to not recognise it. :)

Tall-Cruiser, I think it was you who mentioned that we hadn't seen inside of Hall 5 in a while. Here are two shots inside from visitors to the yard. Good ol' visitors. What would we have one without them.

And some photos similar to MasterSchnief's ...

There are some Minions trying to pull me away from my laptop right now.

Something about "Not another Quantum-class ship!!!"

Lloyd - Thanks for finding that photo of the SeaPlex area. Also thanks for the photo updates from Hall 5 (and Hall 6). Since most of the ships Meyer is building these days are so big, Hall 5 seems to be the default place for assembly, store then move to Hall 6 for completion.

With Ovation now also going to Austrailia, I think more people will follow the ship building process again. The question is, will Ovation be changed that much for China or minor since it will also go to Australia?

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I had to work today and took pics as well:

Today from a different angle:

First megablock under construction:

Ovation is now up on the MW website:)

Today's view:

Thanks for doing this. Enjoy following the progress

We got a floating mega block!
