What I thought.  Why are they not selling any of these cruises?

Asia sailings are typically released later than everywhere else.  i think these were set to be released within the past moth or so then put on hold due to recent world events.

Some nice photos of the ship from Mer & Marine

"The next holder of the title of the world's largest ocean liner is already more than half-assembled. This week, 38 of the 70 blocks to make up the hull and superstructures of the future Wonder of the Seas (C34) were already in place. The final ones are scheduled to be launched at the end of June on July 4. The ship is scheduled to be delivered in spring 2021 to the U.S. company Royal Caribbean International."

Thanks Lloyd555! I really hope she doesn't get delayed significantly cause of the pandemic.

Someone said they stopped work????

[Lloyd555]

Following President Macron's comments on April 13th, the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyards are planning a return to work on May 11th, with a partial re-commissioning on April 27th in the workshops and on board vessels under construction. This restart can be carried out by volunteering, subject to the availability of suitable protections (in the face of Covid-19 risks) and supply.

After some weeks of reduced or no activity, apart from design office work organized to limit the number of people present, Chantiers de l'Atlantique is going to resume production.

 

Voluntary and in limited numbers

Starting April 27, this is to take place gradually in the various workshops and, on board ships, in shifts to limit numbers.

Until May 11, work will be on a voluntary basis for Chantiers employees and limited to a maximum of 50% of the production people on site. The manufacturing workshops will work in reduced multi-shift operations. 

 

Subcontractors

Subcontractors will also be able to resume work under strict sanitary requirements, and with reduced numbers.

On May 11, if all production activities are operational, tertiary activities such as design offices will go on mixing on-site and from-home work.

WONDER who needs such a large ship over the next couple of years 🤔

 

I guess RCL wouldn't mind the ship to be delivered later than originally planed.

Wondering if she's still scheduled for China?

No reason to think otherwise, yet.

I always wondered, do the swimmers who dive off the 60ft tower on the other O class ships, get paid more than the rest and are harder to recruit? Was this a money saving move by RCI to not only save on building/maintenance of the ship, but also pay less for the talent in the Aqua show?

The back is beautiful compared to the other Oasis Class ships.
