Hey Derf -- long time, no see, Man! :cool:

Do you have any idea what time that would be for us "left-coasters"?

I'm terrible with time conversion, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I've going to be watching this one in my jammies! ;)

It will be 1:30am EST when its 7:30am in Germany.

Thank you! I can watch float-out and have a night-cap at the same time, as that should be 10:30 pm here! :cool:

I plan to be in Papenburg next saturday for the Quantum of the Seas float out.

 

Hope to get some good pictures as well as videos - I will post pictures and videos on my blog: Quantum of the Seas float out and Ems Conveyance after the event.

 

Also planning for pictures and videos from the Ems Conveyance in September.

Thanks so much. I am so excited. RCCL really knows how to build beautiful ships, IMO. I can't wait to see this beauty fully, floating in a few days. Ya gotta give it to them, for such a massive vessel she has beautiful lines. We are on the nov 18 sailing and I am beyond excited. Can't wait for your blog update. Thank you again.

One would think that RCL would know what is going to be inside the ship by this time. The floorplan still has a lot of 'More to come' spaces. I hope that there are not just boarded up wall openings when we cruise on Dec 1st....

 

Come on RCL... The 'More to come' was cute six months ago but it is getting a bit old now that the ship is ready to float out. :mad:

I'm afraid that executive2 is right - the float out will not be this Saturday - but more likely Tuesday but not confirmed

 

This is the current message from Meyer Werft:

 

Float out of Quantum of the Seas

Expected Date: within the next days

 

As soon as we can give more detailed information about the specific timetable, we are going to publish them in this section. Please desist from further inquiries till then.

With so little information being made available I am pondering when Q Of The Seas will actually launch & more importantly will she enter service as planned on the 02/11/2014

 

Something doesn't seem quite right currently & the RCI media marketing machine is very quiet......
