@Eremita85 Do you have any new construction photo updates that you don’t mind sharing here? Thanks

Anything definitive on what the "Pearl" is other than a glorified entrance way?

Someone, on one of the 103 pages, posted a link to a similar "pearl" in the real world, and it was a 3d screen with a Imax like movie inside.  Anyone know what page that link is on?

Wizard of Oz boring??  Growing up with Oz, never boring to me in over probably 50 or 60 times.  I'll welcome that with standing ovation!  Thanks for making my day!  BTW typo I meant Costa Maya not Porta Maya, I've been there 6 times.

A boring choice not necessarily a boring show, there are lots of newer and exciting shows with just as vast of appeal, but Oz is a very safe and  boring choice. I still think the RCCL production will still be very well done with cool staging and effects.

The main problem I have with Broadway shows on board ships is that they are way tooo long.  A "Readers Digest" condensed version would make more sense for cruising.

To each their own, I am prepared to love it.

I think the Pearl will be more than a glorified entry.  Think of all they could do with it.

 

They could have film of the port of the day to let you know where you are that day and what you could see there.  Boarding day could be film of the spectacular venues on board that you could see, photos of the ship itself and sailaway live like a virtual balcony cabin which use live feeds around the ship already!  Video of entertainment onboard, etc.  Opportunities are endless.  I think it will go over great.

So glad that they changed the webcam's view a while back. Such a nice view. 😄

What is your opinion Lloyd?  Do you think she will be complete by January!?

not much have happened lately (except for the interior but well, I have no access to that), but here is some random photos from last and this month. They have attached some anchor chains to the starboard side of the ship, but no anchor yet.

PS. the photos seems to be in random order too 😄

Oh wow, those are fantastic! Very cool/beautiful arial photos and some nice closeup shots as well.
Thanks very much for sharing these photos.

Unconfirmed, but I believe the musical onboard will be Wizard of Oz.

 

 

"Wicked" perhaps? I would think that would fall more in line with their latest shows.

Or maybe a revival of "Springtime for Hitler" or "Prisoners in Love"🤑

Do we have any idea what that is in the drydock ?

Looks like theater seating for Mein Schiff 7. The next ship they are building.

I've seen tweeners cracking up watch the old Producers film.  Maybe not catching all the subtle jokes and references but certainly laughing at Gene Wilder and Dick Shawn.

Nick Weir gave another hint on Twitter for The Wizzard of Oz.
