Tall-Cruiser

Possible second partly covered area above deck 16 mid ship?

Thanks! Yeah I kept looking at that mid section and it seemed off. From some of the photos I’ve seen, it looks like there’s outdoor deck area on that white area, port and starboard, similar to what Odyssey had called Social 8 or something. That teen area in front of the SeaPlex. Plus the middle of those two areas is open for something as of now. So as you said, more to come.

The bridge is installed but currently covered with that white material. The port side aft block with the infinity pool is yet to be installed too. Will there be any more Suite blocks mid or forward? The mid-ship top area around the recently installed Crown & Anchor seems like there could be more to be installed around that area?

Wow! It’s getting more and more interesting every day. Thanks for sharing. They are really moving fast it seems like.

@Tough as Leather @Lloyd555 On the just installed Suite Blocks would the top be Deck 17 or 18? 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.

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

Excuse me please, I think I’m missing a foot stool and a headrest so I can lean back comfortably 😀

I think I heard it’s Ice Skating (Studio B) on other ships.

With the way the build is going, it’s very likely that all blocks should be installed by then. So we should know at a minimum what the ship exterior looks like.

Lots of great pictures there. Quote: In an effort to keep our readers up to date, RoyalCaribbeanBlog commissioned its own aerial drone photos to share what we can see so far from the shipyard.

It’s going to be active and loud at this boardwalk area.

The very aft block is only to deck 12 if my count is right. Will there be a deck 14 cabin section above the current 12 deck? Thanks

Supposedly that September 12 listing was removed from the Royal Deployment schedule. See earlier post from @Ourusualbeach. I think by them still not releasing info on Icon some may choose to book a different cruise and even with another cruise line like Norwegian Prima. It is also interesting that the new Princess ship starts service after Icon, but they have already shared details about the ship and booking I think is now open.

Panda Monium - Thanks for sharing all these fantastic photos. Wow! Keep them coming 😃

Great catch/find👍

Any New Suite Neighborhood?

Thanks

Any word/updates on the 7 Night Caribbean Sailing schedule that was planned for week of September 12th, and that perhaps would have included Icon? Thanks

Definitely interesting and high/tall. Not sure if it’s the lighting but I think I like the shade of blue and the white trim.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Royal would never do that. Generally speaking all Royal shops look very nice and smooth. Epic- Now that is just ugly. So ugly that they knew it and stopped any new sister builds (from what I heard). I wonder why they never took her into dry dock to remove that Top Hat 😃

She has a very big head, sorry I meant globe 😃 Hopefully she is a lot smoother looking than this partial view/teaser 😃

Okay great and thanks for clarifying that.

Thanks for sharing these photos. Thats an interesting looking block. From the angle of photo it almost has a similar slant to the aft suites on Virgin’s Scarlet Lady. But as you stated where does it go? There was that other block with an Infinity Pool too to consider. How does it all come together. Perhaps that block is not aft facing but side facing similar to the infinity pools on Norwegian Prima. Maybe @Lloyd555 has seen something and can share some insight 😃

There was a stern block that was shared a while back that already had parts of the ship name on it. I wonder if they removed it as it’s not currently visible on those installed stern blocks.
