emmy Posted April 13, 2013 #28 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks Emmy. I have an afternoon appointment and was afraid I would miss it. I will miss it but will count on CC for the full report. Sadly I will be at work but happily earning more money for a Quantum inaugural:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divaofdisney Posted April 13, 2013 #31 Share Posted April 13, 2013 RCCL is certainly great with hype and build up!!!i can't wait!!!! i'm watching and waiting! :D I know I know!! I so remember all these feelings when Oasis was coming out. Man, what a cruise that was- having never been on an inaugural it was by far the best cruise experience we've ever had!! I am soooo ready for this ship and all it will offer. I hope it's Bayonne...we can drive to this port and not have the expense of flying. I can't wait!! Counting down the hours till the reveal in NYC!! Would make so much sense it being there with home port in Bayonne- hummmm looks like it to me!!

wolfcathorse Posted April 13, 2013 #32 Share Posted April 13, 2013 This was on twitter earlier. Sneaky hint from RCI What do you reckon? My guess is roller skates. But... If so, would it be a skating track like the voyager class, or a hint as to a show? Starlight Express anyone?! Unlikely I'd imagine. I doubt this is a roller skate...that wouldn't be something never before seen at sea as some of the Voyager class ships have an in-line skating track. Plus the picture may not be shown in its correct orientation, the human brain assumes that images are top/North/up. If you flip the image, it could become a bogey wheel on a roller coaster, like Dragons' Tail at Labadee or something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reney313 Posted April 13, 2013 #33 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm watching with anticipation as well. Although extremely doubtful I would book out of Bayonne to the caribbean. If I'm flying from MO in fall/winter, I'm flying to Florida! That being said, would love to sail on Quantum to Bermuda, hoping 2015. That is, of course, if they do in deed homeport her in Bayonne (but all indications seem likely--or maybe it's just the hype on the board). Maybe Anthem will be my inaugural sail? Or the new Oasis 3? Either way, I'll be just as thrilled to hear about the new features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trail46 Posted April 13, 2013 #34 Share Posted April 13, 2013 How do the bookings become available? Someone here said Diamond, Pinnacle first, then open to public? Or is it Diamond and Pinnacle first, then all Crown and Anchor, then the public? Or is it something else entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPEvans Posted April 13, 2013 #35 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Why is it that when a new ship is being built, Floridians want it there. Why can't New York have fabulous ships? Even though Florida has the choice of the best ships already, Floridians want more. Since the Northeast has a huge population base, it would make sense to put a new ship in NYC. Especially since air travel has become a pain recently. I vote for New York, or for the people who are literal. Bayonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPEvans Posted April 13, 2013 #36 Share Posted April 13, 2013 What part of the NYC skyline is shown at the beginning of the video? Is this area of NY associated with something that may give us any hints (e.g. a famous revolving rooftop restaurant)? Its a shot of the Manhattan skyline seen from New Jersey. I hope it is a hint rather than just because the reveal is in New York City. NY has only one revolving restaurant. That is at the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Times Square. But you really can't pick out the building in the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrljel Posted April 13, 2013 #37 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yep, I'm guessing that the reveal will show that is it out of Bayonne (YEAH!) and that roller skate wheel picture could be a roller coaster or a stupid, YES STUPID ferris wheel. Let's hope it's a sane revolving restaurant instead. Enough of the amusement park at sea concept! I'm on a ship to get away from that crowd and that garbage!!!

jerraeb Posted April 13, 2013 #38 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I also hope for a New York/ New Jersey home port. I'll take Norfolk or Baltimore as well. Tired of going to Florida for every cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they still get to have a venue for other events as they do with the Studio B ice rinks on the present ships. Who knows?! We may just find out on Tuesday...

gerig Posted April 14, 2013 #43 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Same here, cannot wait. So hoping it is going out of Florida so we can sail on her. If it is out of Bayonne, not happening. No desire to go on a "cold" cruise. You can cruise from April till November in Bayonne. It's not cold. It is cold from November to December similar to the unbearable heat in south florida from April to November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinanan Posted April 14, 2013 #44 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I too am looking forward to the 16th .... I want to see her sail out of NJ, Waiting with anticipation ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drarill Posted April 14, 2013 #45 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I am looking forward to the 16th:D:D... just two more days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfishner Posted April 14, 2013 #46 Share Posted April 14, 2013 We live in Ft Lauderdale and if I were a betting man which I am not I would bet the Quantum will be cruising out of the Northeast and not Florida. I believe the northeast has shown to be a very strong market for RCL and needed to be developed more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyride21 Posted April 14, 2013 #47 Share Posted April 14, 2013 You can cruise from April till November in Bayonne. It's not cold. It is cold from November to December similar to the unbearable heat in south florida from April to November Til November is stretching it a bit. I sailed out of Philly once in October (which is almost 100 miles more southerly than Bayonne says Google), and it really, really cold while at sea. And I'm from the midwest, so I'm no stranger to cold. That said, it's not the weather that would keep me from sailing her if she ports out of NJ, it would be the itinerary. No interest in sailing to Bermuda or the Bahamas again, and those are about the only two places she could make it to and back in seven days, and I don't desire to cruise any longer than that if the additional days are sea days. I suppose much like the Oasis and Allure the ship will be the destination, but I haven't sailed either one of them yet solely because of their terrible itineraries...

BTSEN5 Posted April 14, 2013 #49 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I love cruising out of Bayonne. It is a great area to extend vacation. So much to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted April 14, 2013 #50 Share Posted April 14, 2013 For me it would be the fear of a snow storm shutting down the port. Having said that we're anticipating a cruise on Explorer out of NJ in Dec., 2013. I might live in TX now but NY is still my home and it's always a pleasure going back to visit. :D I can't imagine how they can top the Oasis class of ships but if anyone can do it, RCI sure can.
