Rare Woobstr112G Posted September 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2014 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.....:):):) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted September 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Based on what we have seen thus far, it does not look likely. What the finished product will be like remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted September 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.....:):):) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm6175 Posted September 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2014 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 .

mjjden Posted September 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted September 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The Vistas have sister ships with other lines. The sisters don't have wrap around decks, but the Vista Class ships do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm6175 Posted September 14, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 14, 2014 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 .

rajkr74 Posted September 15, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) 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. http://www.cunard.com/documents/2014-2015%20deck%20plans/qv%20deck%20plan.pdf Edited September 15, 2014 by RAJKR74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spender Nui Posted September 15, 2014 #21 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Would certainly miss the promenade should they be short sighted enough to omit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.....

bachcruise Posted September 15, 2014 #23 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm crossing my fingers for a wraparound promenade. That's one of my favorite features on HAL ships. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted September 15, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Mega ships at other lines do not have a wrap around. It's likely HAL will follow this trend in their first Mega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 15, 2014 #25 Share Posted September 15, 2014 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. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
