Icon of the Seas Blocks Are In The House!

[Old Fart Cruisers]

Looking at the webcam about five minutes ago.  A bright light went across the screen from upper left to the right side just above the building.  Took only about a second or so.  Definitly faster than an airplane landing.   Shooting star?

More like mid-ship,

Speaking of mid-ship, you shared on the other site a photo from @Panda Monium starting with “I see my cabin”, a block with two/three levels of cabins and right below the cabins a big white and curved (inverted L if you will) shape frame. Later you posted a picture with the heading “See Translation” with yellow outlinee on some blocks on the ship. I think the block shared by Panda Monium goes on the Starboard side around the yellow line you drew. You can see a similar L shaped white frame. I think a few pages back you highlighted a similar block in which you said you will come back to or to be reminded (something like that) 😀. Sorry I cannot attached photos as I don’t have permission to do so. Just my guess for this evening 😀.

After some digging and some close up photoshops i have made, it seems like it could be something at the stern which i can't quite make out, however i do see some curves that could correspond to some areas.

Now I see what you mean, I’m so dumb, honestly. How could I have not noticed that.

 

Thank you for checking. Much appreciated.

Maybe a white 'frame' around the area on decks 5&6 that is flush with the hull and decks above. What the area within frame looks like, who knows?

This is beginning to sound a lot like a variation of the Magic Carpet on the Apex.

I see what you are saying.

STRANGE PHENOMENON – Not related to the build, but kind of interesting.

 

I was watching the webcam for a few minutes last night (Sunrise this morning in Finland). The water was like glass. I noticed each time I hit the play/Stop live playback the flashing fuel price sign’s reflection isn’t synchronized with the sign itself. When the sign is blank, two prices are reflected in the water. When the sign has two prices showing, only one is reflected. And when the sign was showing one price, no prices were reflected. I would have thought it would reflect at the speed of light, and picked up the same by the webcam. I’m sure any photography experts would have the explanation for this phenomenon, but I still find it interesting.

Likely a glitch in the matrix.

I hope not. They really don’t need to repeat that on a RCI ship.

That's because there is another fuel price sign for submarines underwater 😆

But for real, maybe cameras rolling shutter causes it? Don't know much about webcams. Just google "rolling shutter".

What is it that some people have said - That the Icon class going to look like the Oasis class with some new changes and features (mostly) inside? 

I'm keeping an eye out all the new blocks and pieces to come in order to see if they give a better idea of the overall look.😁

Besides the changed bow, a twist maybe to the exterior appearance?

 

This appeals to me.

Where is the most important part?

Ok. I thought that my image of the Norwegian ship (that I wanted to show as an example of a design that I appreciate) was creating confusion. 😳

Looking at the pics of the area, theres no mounting points above or on the decks, and that deck is part of quite a significant overhang, so anything hanging off the side of the ship is out unless it months directly on that deck. 

 

It also looks like theres parts for at least 2 of the "frames" so I'm thinking it's more of a design choice.

Some cabin blocks pictures.

It's  a Norwegian ship that has features that wouldn't mind seeing on Icon of the Seas.

More 'frame' but unpainted in this photo. At least three deck high? On both sides or just one?

I get the impression, but could be off here, that the 'frame' is small on the starboard side (maybe just 2 decks high), but may be higher on the port side from looking at this photo and some others.

You can catch a glimpse of the Icon of the Seas build in this screen grab  from a FinnXplorer video.

I like the viewpoint; being able to see the Icon of the Seas from in front and catch a glimpse inside. 

Too bad they didn't get closer. 😄
