Hi!
Does anyone of you, have more exterior pics of the Genesis?
As I can see from the video on the RCCL Genesis page, it seems like the Genesis is going to have two funnels?
Is that correct or?

I think you are correct. It looks like genesis will have a split funnel, kind of like Canberra did.

At this point it doesn't resemble a cruise ship -more like a hotel.

Hell, even when completed it will look like a hotel..... With the added bonus being that it floats!

The person who submitted the pic wrote that the open well between the cabins (Central Park) will be covered w/a glass roof. I guess he does'nt read Cruise Talk!

Is it fully split as in two separate funnels or is the front recessed in?

Tell me something, if IOTS sailed under the Storebelt Bridge with 5 or 6 feet to spare, what will happen with Genesis? Will she have to pass under this bridge? Maybe this is the reason for the split funnel?

I think that the 65 meter clearance of the bridge is only safety clearance, so the ship's air draft can reach 65 meters, no more. The Eagle's air draft is 63 and something meters, so Genesis will reach the max of 65 meters. If taller ships are built in the Baltic (I guess this won't happen for a while) the funnel(s) will have to be installed elsewhere.

I was told that she will be 72m therefore too big to fit under the bridge. Her funnel will either collapse or retract so she can get under this and other bridges like Verrezano.

Indeed. When Independence visited Oslo during her inaugural, Royal Caribbean's SVP of Marine Operations, Bill Wright, said Genesis' maximum airdraft above the waterline will be 72 meters, and 65 meters with the funnel(s) lowered. So Genesis will be pretty tall

I remember AkerBuilder talked about this but now we get confirmation. I preffer this system to the folding funnel on the Norwegian Dream.
