What's new after Vista?

[EZ4]

Any word or gossip about new ships on the horizon?

Any word or gossip about new ships on the horizon?

 

New ship orders for the 2017-2018 period are expected within the next quarter, as per Robin Farley (UBS). The only question is whether they are for the Carnival brand or another Corporate line, like Princess or Costa which by that time might need new tonnage. All we can do is guess, but this conjecture is kind of moot anyway.

Would imagine a few ships of the Vista class whatever that really means. Surprised they havent released any details of it.

Is the Vista going to be a new class? I just figured it would be in the dream/magic/breeze class--this might be pretty interesting if it is.

The info is supposed to be released on November 1st.

It is a new class but so far not telling us anything about it other than that it will be Brilliant.

The Vista is supposed to be a brand new class of ships. What we don't know yet is if she is going to be a brand new design or just a derivative of the Destiny class.

Google it and you see some info, 4000 passenger 135,000 ton. New class of ship according to reports.

Conquest and Dream were new classes too, but basically just an evolution of the original Destiny. Over the last 18 years, they've just been tweaking and stacking more decks on the original design.

Yep, why fix something that isn't broke. You might actually hear me say something negative about CCL one day if they put that Allure and Oasis crap on their ships.

Literally.

Says the one who has only sailed on Carnival? If you've never been on the Oasis or the Allure, how do you know you hate what they have to offer?

I read my friend I read. I don't need ice skating and rocks on my cruise. All them extra bells and whistle don't excite me. Personal preference only. Nothing against RCL.

The idea of the ice skating and rocks is to attract those that like that. This way the crowds are thinner for the things YOU like to do.

So you sailed the Sunshine because you needed Guy's, Redfrog Pub, Tequila bar, etc. I don't NEED the ropes course on the Breeze, but I am still going to experience the ship.

[thecruiserofships]

I am looking forward to information on the Vista.

 

I wish Carnival wouldn't be so stingy on the details that are out at this point! :)

I did? Dang I'll be back. Gotta tell the wife why we sailed the Sunshine.

[GlendaleCruiser]

Looking forward to the Vista and Vista Class. I expect they will make 3 ships for Carnival in the years ahead like they did with Dream, Magic, Breeze. They just got better and better as they did.

 

Already planning to be on the Transatlantic of Vista and probably the one before that for a back2back. Would love to do the inaugural, too, but that would mean two RT airfares so,...........no.

Yeah, NCL has 4 on order and RCI has 5. That'll be a tough act for CCL to follow.

What's the 5th one on order? I have the Anthem & Quantum, Oasis III & Oasis IV. What am I missing?

A little bird told me that the Vista will be a combination of the Spirit and Dream classes taking the best of both classes in a larger size. That would be interesting.

Since Vista will have Azipod propulsion, it almost certainly will not be a Destiny derivative.

Only 1.5 if Vista home ports in your backyard. :D

Indeed, pods are the way to go and Carnival will use them on future ships. The issues with them have mostly, if not entirely been worked out. Carnival was paid handsomely in a law suit against Rolls Royce concerning the pods on QM2, but pods are the future for these types of ships. All new technology will often have its issues, and QM2 now has 10 years running on pods, and at up to 30 knots!
