Royal Caribbean is celebrating the laying of their soon-to-be newest ship keel at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Germany. The keel-laying signifies the beginning of the ship’s physical construction. During the ceremony, a 620-ton block measuring 59 feet by 121 feet (18 x 23 meters) was lifted into the building dock with an 800-ton crane.
The Anthem of the Seas is still slated for a spring 2015 delivery.
