It’s possible but I think the Azipods would be further back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Having just seen the stern from another angle, the tents/coverings are not visible here, except for the edge of the port side azipod hole in yellow circle.

But they're all basically the exact same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously doubt they can squeeze her in between Wonder and Utopia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Monium Posted July 3, 2022 #1033 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) I have seen those four pieces of the 'ice rink & ?' venue at the back of the ship. If they are the only pieces making up that venue, it appears that the rink/stage will be round rather than similar to what we see in Studio B on other Royal cruise ships.

Wouldn’t that require a wider space and with the added seating? I think the Ice Skaters in general would prefer a round rink as it would appear easier for all those turns they make. I’m not an Ice Skater but just a thought 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall-Cruiser Posted July 4, 2022 #1038 Share Posted July 4, 2022 @Lloyd555 @Eremita85 Looking at the recent photos you guys added to the FB group, Icon definitely took up just about the entire length of the building dock. I think Lloyd mentioned there somewhere that she will be 365m. Also great photos by the way and thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the other day in Hong Kong he said it’s the only true democracy in the world. It was on T.V. So it must be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx121 Posted July 10, 2022 #1046 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I hope the Icon isn’t just a “upgraded Oasis class”. There was a lot of hype when the Freedom class came out and it was all a let down when it turned out to be the same as the Voyager class but they just added a new section and some features like the flow rider.

I doubt that it will just be an upgraded oasis class since wonder and utopia are upgraded oasis class ships.
