No, there are three question marks were each image is suppose to be.

I guess Anthem has its stern closest to the door. When time comes to pull Quantum out which means whatever part of Anthem is done has to come out first i would put Anthem back in the building dock stern first. I sure hope somebody videos the float out of the partially completed Anthem followed by Quantum.

When it comes time, just put a comment on the YouTube channel of some of the people who recorded the Getaway's float out (amSeehafen, inselvideo, HD1080ide, etc.). They're a good bunch; they'll likely start recording as soon as the big door opens.

The block closer to the divider wall is bigger then the one closer to the back of the ship. One or the other or both will have to get picked up and moved.

Lloyd, Wow! That is a cool shot of Quantum in the building dock. Thanks for sharing.

 

By the way I did get confirmation today that the block in Hall 5 is for Quantum. They didn't say where on Quantum. So assuming that they have already assembled all the aft blocks including Two70 (which we now cannot see, (where is that back of Hall 6 webcam?)), it may be the theatre as you noted before.

The placement of both is strange given that the one in the back is/will be part of bow. It could be just there temporarily for special outfitting since there seems to no room on the left side of the Hall. One would then ask why not outfit it in the right spot???

That would be my question as well. Maybe they are breaking in a new crane operator and they just want to give him/her practice.

They could just be placing them in the basin to help with positioning. Not sure why they would build from each end to meet in the middle though.

Found this on twitter from today

 

 

Geez. We're being spoiled today! Great close-up.

 

Not a recent photo however. Compare it to the previous photo above. Also note where the basin divider is located; same spot as in in pre-Getaway float out days?

Edit: I was disoriented for a moment by the railing in the left side of the photo, thinking it belonged to the dock next to the basin. Then I realised that it's a temporary railing on a Quantum (class) block.

Please take a look at the large port hole balcony. They are supposed to be wrap around balconies, looks like floor not finished connecting wrap around area - or is is just the angle? Looking at cabins ending in 6234 8234, etc. - It appears no floor connecting balcony doors to go around to port hole? Thanks - maybe my eyes just bad

It will be a wrap around balcony which will share a balcony wall divider with the Family Connected Junior Suites. Yes, the flooring on that section was not installed at the time. Maybe they needed the clearance in that area for other installs. Also note that that picture is a little old as it was taken when NCL Getaway was still in the building dock. Still one of the best close-ups we have seen from RCI. A lot has happened since, although it has not been shared with the public.

Very well could be with "repositioning" to come. I keep looking at the picture Lloyd posted and the current (outdated) webcam imagine and wonder if those objects covered in blue in the very front section of the Quantum blocks could be the engine sets for Anthem.
