WestLakeGirl Posted November 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2016 So the first two are named Edge and Beyond. Do you think they will bring back the name Horizon for either the third or fourth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted November 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Does anyone know where the Edge will make her "home port"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted November 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2016 So, project name turned into ship name, so maybe Royal's Icon project will turn in Icon of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted November 21, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Does anyone know where the Edge will make her "home port"? I don't think there will be any ship retirements by then so it's not taking an existing route, so it could be anywhere. Seems to me this will be a repeat of Quantum - a Nov delivery of first in class ship with a TA crossing right after. Hmmm....might have to repeat.

RickT Posted November 21, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) The profile makes it look like a cross between an M-Class and an S-Class. Probably a red herring and the Edge class ship won't look anything like the profile picture. Edited November 21, 2016 by RickT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted November 21, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'm going to predict this will be a pretty controversial design with long time customers, pretty like much of the direction Celebrity has taken lately. Personally I'm a wait and see. I've yet to have a bad Celebrity cruise, with my most recent being 2 months ago. So I don't really share in the "sky is falling" mentality of many.

CL-JW Posted November 21, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) The outline in the photo is very interesting, especially the bow. If history repeats, the outline should be a good representation of the overall outline of the ship, as the Solstice class looks very much like the outline shown at the initial steel cutting ceremony. We are excited to hear more details as they are released. Edited November 21, 2016 by CL-JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted November 21, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Looking forward to more info on this new class though it worries me as to how much input Lisa Luton-Perla will have as Im not a fan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 21, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) squared off bow? That looks strange. More like a ferry boat than a cruise ship. Edited November 21, 2016 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that it was going to have a catamaran hull. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shipshape sam Posted November 21, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I like to follow new ideas/concepts, so it will be interesting as they release aspects of the ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Miaminice Posted November 21, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 21, 2016 squared off bow? That looks strange. More like a ferry boat than a cruise ship. Well, this bow shape seems to be more fuel efficient at lower speeds. And more and more cruising is with slow speed... I think it could look like the new Aida ship AidaPrima. They did the same there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted November 21, 2016 #21 Share Posted November 21, 2016 OK as long as nobody starts painting lips on the bow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjknox Posted November 21, 2016 #22 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yep the Edge class steel cutout in the photo is accurate. As for the "squared bow" it looks like they may become a more standard design feature. As mentioned it is more fuel efficient at lower speeds and allows for a little more utilizable space. The Aida Prima class has this design feature, as well as their new LNG builds, Costa, P&O, Carnival, and now Celebrity will have ships with these bow designs.

starri Posted November 21, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Am I the only one who hates the names? I know it goes with the whole "see the world" marketing push, but I dislike going away from the celestial stuff. Also Celebrity Beyond makes me think we'll also see a Celebrity Into Darkness or Celebrity III: The Search for Captain Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an old time poster who did not like Celebrity, used to say, Celebrity names all their ships after cars. They continue that with the Edge although I'm hard pressed to find a Beyond.
