Celebrity Edge's Blocks Are In The House!

[Ox Fan Cruiser]

Here are a couple images of stabilizers in the fully extended position. Plus a couple of illustrations showing how they are operated..

 

 

 

 

This is what I was expecting, thanks.

Eden window framing looks impressive.

I added a rendering comparison-ish image. [emoji4]

Lloyd - Thanks again for the photos. Indeed the window framing does look impressive. It's always great watching the first ship in a new class being built. Reminds me when Quantum was being built and all the guessing we were doing.

I was such a novice back then. [emoji853]

At least now I know where my aft is located.

Hahaha that's a good one. :D

A lot of us have learned and enjoyed a whole lot watching things happen in Hall 6 and sometimes Hall 5.

Did I miss a previous confirmation of the bow shape? It may take some time to get used to it.

One of the first "photos" I found was the steel cutting in November 2016. They never talked about the bow specifically. But the steel cut did show it. Check here.

I know I don't speak whatever that's in, but I only see the picture of them holding a generic ship shape.

It couldn't have been generic because it certainly set tongues a wagging back then.

It’s not there now that I can see.

There was a lot of speculation but till the photos of today I don't remember ever confirming the exact shape.

I thought the original reveal pics showed the shape. It is similar to some other new ships coming out.

[Getty123]

The listed above looks the same as the original renedering provide by Celebrity. But it could be misleading as the upper blocks are missing.

 

Yes many new ships have that shape bow. Aida has one out.

Yes, and when you look on the right side of this "shape" you can see the bow is going sort of straight up with a tilt to the left. Not the classic shape of a ship´s bow but the new one which is used by AIDAprima and AIDAperla.

 

Later the renderings showed this type of bow but there was no real talking about it by X.

This was the photo of the bow that was released in March.

I was under impressions that interior of the cabin we’re all done except for furniture, I guess was wrong

Cabins are prefabbed at a different location and then installed after blocks are assembled.

 

The Edge’s cabins were supposed to take this modular cabin concept further, but it doesn’t look like anything different going on to me.

 

Lloyd?

Thanks

 

Everyday I learned something and it’s fascinating

Someone said that Celebrity has pattended a name for the bow. The bow is different but it looks has it different shades, color and even something that looks glass. What’s the secret ?

They've registered the name "parabolic ultrabow." We don't know why Celebrity would want to copyright that name when almost every major cruise line, and even some smaller expedition lines, are building ships with this vertical bow design. In a few years there won't be anything special about the Edge's bow. Ships from Aida already have it, and soon ships from Costa, P&O, Carnival, NCL, Virgin, and MSC will also. And I'm guessing the new Icon-class ships from Royal Caribbean will, but those images have not yet been released.

 

I wonder why everyone is moving away from a clipper bow with the underwater bulb. That hull design has been established for 60+ years as the most efficient. The vertical bow and no bulb is a very old style dating back 100+ years.
