What Will Be the Next Mega Ship to Homeport at PC

[Cruisin MarcnFran]

A Royal Caribbean Ship. I have no guesses.

Hots!

[DreamingBig1]

An Oasis class ship!

[pennielz]

Hots!

 

I agree. Harmony of the Seas, with her water slides, seems perfect for the PCI market!

[Buccaneergirl]

i say harmony!.... our first new ship!!:D

I would love it if Harmony would come to Port Canaveral and not have to drive all the way to Fort Lauderdale.

One of the Radiance Class ships would suit me just fine. Do we have the option to downsize? :D

The Royal Caribbean Facebook page says that the Harmony will originally go out of Southampton then out of Port Liberty. Booooooo....

I believe they corrected that already. That is the Anthem itinerary

I'll just be happy if we get and keep a third Royal ship... mega. mid, mini... no matter!

[hollon]

I wish for P.C b/c it is closer than Ft. Lauderdale - I really wish Galveston would get the ship (I have family there and they can go w/ us) :)

[dogsambam]

My feeling would be Oasis or Allure and Harmony will go to Port Everglades.

I don't think an Oasis class ship can fit under the Verrazzano Bridge, so Harmony cannot homeport at Cape Liberty.

The Verrazano is higher than the Belt Bridge in Denmark which she already cleared. She won't fit in Bermuda and I don't think Central Park would like the -5 degrees we had the other morning.

I'm hoping Harmony but Oasis or Allure would be fine. Hope I am not disappointed. Guess we will find out in a few weeks.

Oasis and Allure both cleared the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark leaving the construction ship yard. Great Belt air draft is 213 feet; Verrazano air draft is 228 feet. Oasis can EASILY fit under Verrazano with 14 feet clearance.

Kinda true, but not really, we got Mariner right from the ship yard, I was on the Maiden voyage out of PC, and it was sooooo amazing. That new smell, new beds, I will never forget that. I dont even think she did any Europe cruises, I think she came right to us. Sure hope we get this ship!!!

Awesome! I stand corrected!

I guess it really depends on whether or not Royal Caribbean wants to have a ship needing to retract its smokestack every time it comes into its home port. I'm almost willing to bet they wouldn't, cause if any kind of malfunction happens, they're stuck.

Of course it seems great now, but I don't relish the thought if paying new ship premium pricing out of my home port. Especially given their current pricing schizophrenia.

RCCL's Celebrity Solstice has a summer home port in Vancouver, B.C., and has to do a mast adjustment every time it goes under Lions Gate Bridge into its home port in Vancouver.

I don't think you will find the Oasis or her siblings making New York/Bayonne a home port, occasional visit perhaps. I think the bridge issue may be of some concern since the actual limit on the air draft is 215'... cranking the stacks up and down on such a regular basis could be problematic. The main reason I don't think they would home port up there is the fact that they are more of a warm weather ship.

Thanks! I didn't see the update. Still hoping for Port Canaveral!
