One more image of the new Sun Princess. The shape has a lot in common with the Virgin ships, but I'm happy to see Princess is not going with the vertical bow like everyone else.

 

 

 

The design similarities between that and Icon are almost too much to be coincidence. The rear cabins tapering back. Dome on the front. Open area across the center of the ship. The silhouettes are very similar.

Nice job, I guess we will see in a couple of months how close you are.

It is a coincidence unless there is corporate espionage. Not even built at the same shipyard.

A view of the dome.

 

I lightened this image to get a better view inside the deck 5-6 running path area. 🙂

 

The underside of the deck 5 running path and a stabilizer.

The bottom picture, are those stabilizing blocks? How far into the build until the shipyard removes them?

'tents' to protect workers and materials for welding and/or painting.

The very aft block is only to deck 12 if my count is right. Will there be a deck 14 cabin section above the current 12 deck? Thanks

I believe that decks 15 & 16 left to be put on top of what we see there. Deck seating areas, a FlowRider, galley exhaust stacks, etc.

It's  all going to come together quickly up front , with the forward pieces being installed in quick succession.

I'm not seeing a lot of cabins facing inward on the Boardwalk like we see on Oasis-class. On the starboard side anyhow. 🙂

And what is going on at the end? 🤨

This looks like it could be the port side block that goes on the end of the Boardwalk to complete deck 7 and the infinity pool. We need to see it from a better angle.

 

 

The rest of this section of the ship goes on top of that block, & sits elsewhere in the yard...

 

 

 

 

Here is another view of it...

Makes me wonder if that entire aft end will be all suites--and then the pool and the aft outside area will be exclusive to those suites?  Or maybe that has been discussed and I just missed it?

I wonder if the climbing walls may be installed on these blank spaces?

If the infinity pool is on deck 7 connected with the boardwalk it probably won't be just exclusive to suites

And Splashaway Bay is behind the infinity pool. Definitely not exclusive.

It’s going to be active and loud at this boardwalk area.
