Pinnacle Class Information

[Woobstr112G]

I was wondering if anyone knew if there will be a "walk around" promenade on the new build? I searched the HAL boards and the internet but couldn't find an answer. Thanks in advance for any replies.....:):):)

Based on what we have seen thus far, it does not look likely. What the finished product will be like remains to be seen.

No one who may know for sure is saying but it looks like HAL might have eliminated it. That would be so sad. It's a distinct signature on HAL ships that so many of us really like.

[Krazy Kruizers]

None of us have been able to get much information on the new build.

We all are wondering why nearly everything is being kept secret.

Do you think it has something to do with those newer lifeboat accessibility regulations.....?

Seeing we don't seem to know for sure wrap around Promenade has been eliminated on Pinnacle Class ship, we can't know why... yet.

Good point. Guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm quite interested to see what the new design will be. I've got a big desire to try something different (Other Than Princess) for one of my next voyages. It won't be NCL or RCCL so that leaves HAL or X.....:):):)

I read somewhere that the ship is basically a replica of the Queen Victoria deck wise . I'm not gonna bother looking up deck plans for said ship but I do believe an officer from a HAL ship said this .

Do you know if the Queen Victoria has a full, all the way around Promenade Deck?

I just checked the QV deck plans and I would think not, it doesn't look like it goes past the theatre on Deck 3 which is the promenade deck.

The Vistas have sister ships with other lines. The sisters don't have wrap around decks, but the Vista Class ships do.

I don't know Sail . I got this info from another poster who is on the Rotterdam now and doing a " live from " . He said he spoke with an officer who said the new ship will look identical to the Queen Victoria . Not a stretch as the recent HAL ships compared to the recent Cunard ships look a lot alike .

[fm6175]

Interesting POA i hope someone can tell us if the Queen Vic has a true walk around prom deck .

[cruisin'girl]

Queen Vic has a Prom Deck.

This is not encouraging. I'd hate for HAL to do away with all the way around Promenade.

 

[sail7seas]

Queen Vic has a Prom Deck.

 

This is encouraging. :)

 

Do you know if it goes fully around the whole ship?

Just pulled the deck plan for the Queen Victoria cruise ship. (Hope I have the correct ship deck plan)

 

Here is a link to the plan, just scroll down to deck 3. I looks like a full walk around promenade deck. If this is what the new ship will look like than there should be a full walking promenade deck.

The Promenade Deck sure looks like a full walk-around to me. :D Maybe we can be a little hopeful.

[Spender Nui]

Would certainly miss the promenade should they be short sighted enough to omit it.

This is a cropped portion of a picture of the QV I found on flickr. It does indeed seem to have a walking promenade. Only thing to worry about would be if they moved the lifeboats down to deck level in response to those new safety regulations.....

I'm crossing my fingers for a wraparound promenade. That's one of my favorite features on HAL ships.

Mega ships at other lines do not have a wrap around.

 

It's likely HAL will follow this trend in their first Mega.

[sail7seas]

I'm not sure.... at what size in these days of huge ships, does one start to qualify as Mega ship?

 

Does 99,000 ton make it mega?

 

 

(I'm not being sarcastic... it's a real question. )
