If that is all they are going to announce it will be the worst kept secret of the year !!!!!!!!

 

Shall we make up some of our own ?

 

How about UK prices to match US prices, now that would be a shock.

[xxHadleyxx]

If she is based in the UK would that mean she would be there year round, or at least a larger portion of the year than RCI currently keeps ships in the EU market?

I hope the next Quantum claass after Anthem calls Florida home so I can sail on her.

Most likely the only way I will sail on the new class of ships.

Since you're flying in from Calgary, why don't you just fly into New Jersey instead of Florida?

My thoughts too

[jonbgd]

Darn I was hoping for it to be home ported in SF:cool:

When we lived in NY we took the EX 3 times in Dec with no covered pool or Solarium. It was fun.

 

The Q class has a covered Solarium complex, just like the Celebrity S class.

I am going to guess no. I think they will winter her in....drum roll please... Port Canaveral. But then again, she is built for cold weather, so maybe a few Southampton to NY transatlantic trips to give Cunard some competition?

[ChipLondon]

Watching the Live Streaming announcement now, and all I can say is "Where is The Wow", this is so dull

I hope the actual announcement has something interesting in it.

I don't even know what to say about this...

 

This is like a bad mix of a music history class and flip of a "press release".

Yeah, I am guessing no as well--but one can always hope--or hope that at least they leave her in Europe for a longer season. I'd love to be able to do an Easter cruise again (our first RCI was at Easter out of BCN, but now no ships come back until after).

 

Well, what I would really love is to sail for Faschings (usually in February) -- but unless and until RCI keeps a ship in Europe year round, I doubt I will.

[Elizanessie]

She will be going across the pond in the winter -

zzzzzz sorry but really this is dreadful and the men talking so far look like they are on a casual night out :eek:

[joeski27]

Ok so she'll be based out of Southampton, but what kind of itineraries are we looking at? Canary Islands?

You never know - if she is really popular, they may stay a bit longer...

I fear the acutal announcement was in the part which was not broadcasted... Obviously Adam Goldstein has already spoken at the beginning of the event telling that the Anthem will be homeported in Southampton and Fort Lauderdale...
