Vision Class Differences

[spencercoop]

I searched and I didn't see any threads on this topic.

 

Does anyone know why the Vision class ships were essentially built as three different classes of ships, instead of one. I know the Enchantment is different because she was lengthened, but why did they not start out all the same in the beginning?

Sure I don't know. One question, does Vision itself have "shower capsules" like later ships or is it just shower curtain?

I sure would like to know this too.

 

I know all the Vision class ships was built in pairs.

And i think each pair was built in a different shipyard.

I always wondered about that. My only explanation would be they made some functional changes after the Legend/Splendour (like they did with the Voyager Class) and that is why the others are different. For instance, the Enchantment has additional cabins, more pool area, and bars so it was an improvement. I still find it odd that they never uniformed the ships.

That`s right.

 

Legend and Splendour was built by Chantiers l'Atlantique in France in 1995 and 1996.

 

Grandeur and Enchantment built by Kvaerner Masa-Yards, Finland in 1996 and 1997.

 

Rhapsody and Vision built in Chantiers l'Atlantique, France in 1997 and 1998.

Just an FYI, but on Enchantment, the newly added cabins in the stretched section as well as those that were added during its enhancements last December have the shower capsule.
