Clarea Posted December 31, 2016 #351 Share Posted December 31, 2016 ^ I bet still nowhere as cold as STX in Finland, speaking of which, why is RCI not building anything there? Last I heard, RC could not come to an agreement with the government of Finland for financing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted December 31, 2016 #352 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) STX Finland, now Meyer Turku, will be building Royal Caribbean's Icon-class ships. Forgot about the sale to Meyer and I thought Icon was going to STX France, which according to this: http://www.marinelog.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=24520:fincantieri-said-to-be-sole-bidder-for-stx-france&Itemid=230 has only one bidder on it, Ficantieri - builder for Carnival. Like other industries, there seems to be some consolidation. Edited December 31, 2016 by Biker19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipo Posted January 4, 2017 #354 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Am I wrong, or would you agree with me that Oasis IV looks to be built at a faster pace than Harmony...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 4, 2017 #355 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Am I wrong, or would you agree with me that Oasis IV looks to be built at a faster pace than Harmony...? Maybe it's the sub standard welds. 😱 Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaT91403 Posted January 5, 2017 #357 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I haven't read through the entire thread, and maybe this is answered somewhere...but does anyone have a guess as to when bookings for Oasis IV will begin? We just did a Harmony sailing a couple of weeks ago...booked on April 1, 2015 for a December 17, 2016 sailing. It was a long wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted January 5, 2017 #362 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Any one got an idea as to when the inaugural cruise will be seeing as they seem to be ahead on the production of this one? RCI could designate just about any of the sailings as inaugural -they could even wait for a sailing after the TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poncho1973 Posted January 6, 2017 #365 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I want to sign up for the pre-pre-pre-pre-inaugural cruise because by the inaugural or even the pre-inaugural the best toilet seats had already been used. I once went on a pre-pre-pre inaugural cruise, but that was just full of wanna-bes and posers, everyone knows that one isn't worth the trip. You really need to focus on even-numbered pre-events to get the most out of your money. *tongue firmly in-cheek* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact STX Chantiers de l'Atlantique, you can be lucky enough to travel on her first SEA TRIAL and make sure to use a brand new toilet seat.

The sea calls my name Posted January 7, 2017 #369 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I just saw this ( I had grandchildren to occupy my time for several weeks). Thank you for the special greeting and may it return to you in great measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bild Em Bigger Posted January 7, 2017 #370 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Do we know the home port of this new ship? 4 Oasis class ship out of Florida? Most likely a summer season in Europe May-October 2018, then to the new terminal out of Miami year round. I would say Barcelona for the Europe summer season and then Quantum 4 out of Southampton for the same summer season.

However, regarding Quantum 4, she isn't due out until 2019. According to port bookings, Indy and Navigator will be sailing out of Southampton in 2018. I am hoping Q4 will there in 2019 though.

Guess I lost a year somewhere. If I remember correctly the initial order was 3 ships and by the time they added 2 more to the order, NCL had a couple of ships on order. Thats the reason for the 3 year gap between 3 & 4. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We done Harmony Ta and we booked on March 1st 2015. That would mean O4 would be due for release this March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior moment or not, you'd think they'd at least have SOME info out there for the lot of us that are impatiently waiting for Oasis 4!!
