@Lloyd555 In reply to your dome post. 😁

That is definitely a dome. I wonder how the back of it blends into the upper decks of the Icon of the Seas.

The red area is what remains under the waterline.

But it will show at times, can't abide red.  I like clean white lines and barely like the light blue either.  Just me and MHO

Agree, you can see the red here on the Wonder that is hidden under the waterline on the bulbous bow.

Only ship harmony of the seas is the blue área:

A few more screenshots from Episode 1.

 

Possible Guest Service desks?

 

References to a few venues on this sheet, one of which is ’Cloud 17’ that was trademarked by the company back in January 2021.

OK but I still like Harmony's blue hull better!

[Fairsky84]

This video explains why most ships are painted red below the water line. It's actually pretty interesting.

This venue in the back looks similar to the edge class Eden! Also noticed in the video there is mentions of an amusement park and taking ideas from across the cruise industry. I wonder if it will have a roller coaster like Mardi Gras.

I believe this is actually Eden in the background and probably unrelated to an Icon venue. I imagine that they use the same design studios for all RCG brands, so you will see bits of celebrity here and there.
 

Although, I do hope we will see some form of rollercoaster/attraction on Icon too. That would truly separate it from oasis class, among other things.

There´s a finished roller coaster by Maurer ride sitting somewhere in Germany which won´t be used anymore... The one buildt for the Global Dream I... It has been already transported to Wismar and set up there ready to be moved on the Global Dream I.

That one is the Bolt : Ultimate Sea Coaster for Carnival Celebration and then another one is being built for the Carnival Jubilee next year.

Carnival Celebration's roller coaster is already installed.

Royal Caribbean released a new episode on making Icon of the Seas and revealed the new ship's major goals:

I know, but it could also be the second Space Cruiser for the Global Dream 2, but that project has been scrapped so I do not know what they will do with it.

It's the closest you can get to the actual renderings, although it's pretty accurate.

No, I´m not talking about The Bolt for Carnival but the one for the Global Dream 1 which was manufactured by the same company (which is located in my hometown).

 

More about this one here and here´s a video of the Spike Coaster.

The Global Dream 1 has not been finished yet and the roller coaster is not built in yet. The Global Dream 2 is more or less just a hull and is to be scrapped. The roller coaster for this ship has never been built.

She has a very big head, sorry I meant globe 😃

Hopefully she is a lot smoother looking than this partial view/teaser 😃

I didn't see any Talosians in the design video, but maybe Royal is keeping their aliens in Area 270.
