sparkx Posted July 28, 2014 #2501 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Here's another 'open back door' photo from this weekend to make up for it. And why is there what appears to be a giant gorilla on deck 15? That gorilla is quite intriguing! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave85 Posted July 28, 2014 #2504 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks Tall Cruiser. I have an E1 booked so was wondering if that was them and what the difference is (apart from the larger balcony and slightly smaller cabin).. I have an E1 booked too (on Anthem) and am still patiently waiting for RCI to release a reliable rendering of the E1s.

Lloyd555 Posted July 28, 2014 #2507 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Maybe its King Kong for the rock wall. He'll climb that instead of the Empire State Building (N.Y. theme). Edited July 28, 2014 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun07 Posted July 28, 2014 #2510 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I was booked on QOTS but then I had to move house and change jobs so I decided to be smart for once and save some money and cancel the cruise. I was avoiding any QOTS threads as I was disappointed not to be going on it. Yesterday I cracked and spent few hours on this thread, this morning I re-booked. Damn you Cruise critic :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you Cruise critic :D I know how you feel. I wasn't going to go on a Quantum-class ship until March 2016. Was saving money until I made the mistake of checking out Quantum November 2-10 roll call and RCI website's booking page. I had a side trip to Meyer Werft planned before the sail date, but nixed it.

Life is Good Cruising Posted July 28, 2014 #2512 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I wonder if the Red Dragon/Gorilla/Octopus is one of the sculptures that spouts water on the kids in their play area. This creature looks kind of scary to me and could pass for a mummy. Wonder if it may scare the daylights out of the little ones looking like that. Can it be one of those Dreamwork characters, maybe Shrek once all those bandages are removed?

And why is there what appears to be a giant gorilla on deck 15? I love how the finished two70 glass looks and as you can see there is already lights meaning the "celling is done". About the gorilla looking thing, Lloyd, could you have done a photoshop and added it to the picture so we had a nice guessing game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsFloody Posted July 28, 2014 #2515 Share Posted July 28, 2014 No it's for real. I like the kids water park spouting ceature suggestion. Hi, We think it's the rock wall - I know part of it looks like an arm sticking out but if you imagine its the end of something and look at the position relative to the lifeboat spaces below and the deck plan, it seems to line up with the rock wall. My husband works in construction and tells me that the blue glass 'trellis' is in fact glass with a plastic covering to protect it. Ah well...........

Tall-Cruiser Posted July 29, 2014 #2516 Share Posted July 29, 2014 No it's for real. I like the kids water park spouting ceature suggestion. I don't recall seeing this rendering from the article in this link before, but its the closest to the real thing I have seen thus far. Right number of Life Boats on the Starboard side and the glass enclosure just before the second to last Life Boat. Not to mention the profile/look of the forward facing cabins amongst other things. Sorry I am on my mobile and cannot attach the photo. https://www.kfw-ipex-bank.de/International-financing/KfW-IPEX-Bank/Presse/News/Newsdetails_187456.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to think. The quality looks far below Royal Caribbean's standard, but as you've pointed out this is the first to accurately depict things like the lifeboat layout and the glassed in area. We never did see the concept art attached to the original order and with this being a bank announcing they are doing the finance for Quantum 3, perhaps this is the official concept art that gets attached to the documents. The style of it is very similar to the one used when Project Genesis was ordered (though that quality may have been a result of the technology at the time).

I did a double take when I saw the photo on that site. There were a few things that are very similar to the actual now in the building dock. Then the fact that the article talking about the financing of Quantum 3 was dated June 2, 2014 made me think that, that rendering must be the most current. Something about the Solarium roof and the Spa/Fitness area look a little different on this rendering vs. the first set among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEIx15x8 Posted July 29, 2014 #2520 Share Posted July 29, 2014 No North Star on those photos It's there, but in the docked position, something Royal Caribbean never shows in photos. That's the way 90% of the pictures of her will likely look though. They say it may run in some ports but I have my doubts about them getting clearance to do that so most photos will probably be taken while it's not running.

Mass2Cruise Posted July 29, 2014 #2525 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Any word on the Anthem mega block float out? Wondering if they will only fill the part with Anthem in it first, flout it out, drain that basin, remove the divider, then fill the whole dock or just fill the whole dock from the get go and float one out after another?
