Tempting to book a December cruise. However I am trying to leave my 2023 dates open after my Mardi Gras cruise for hopefully Icon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardi Gras refueled LNG in Miami in July before starting revenue service. Their fuel barge reloads in Savannah so it’s not like PCN has the LNG market locked in.

Of course by the time Icon sails, other options could become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several launch companies are looking at LNG for propellant. 🚀 PC does have that market locked in.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was an exercise for the port and the firefighters to become familiar with the operation so they could prepare for the inevitable. With few ships in service in July out of PoM it was an opportunity to do some training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall-Cruiser Posted September 21, 2021 #284 Share Posted September 21, 2021 12 hours ago, Lloyd555 said: Here's another angle! Does it help?! 😁 I would guess somewhere around 56 to 59 which puts Biker’s estimated right in there 😀. 59 at the higher end considering how at Mayer WERFT they squeeze those ships out of Hall 6 with few feet to spare. At the low end, the greyish entry wall with extra space, say 4 to 5 meters. One may say that’s a lot but, consider the equipment that in moved back and forth along the sides and the safety element. I could be wrong but hey we are just having fun here with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall-Cruiser Posted September 30, 2021 #296 Share Posted September 30, 2021 From the RC Un.....Blog, The article is about a deal to improve ports in US Virgin Islands which includes mention of Icon Class. Perhaps a hint of at least one port of call for Icon Quote “In the short term, Royal Caribbean will bring more passengers to St. Thomas and St. Croix, but down the line, enhancing the piers is a big part of the deal. A third pier will be added to Crown Bay in St. Thomas, which will mean there will be three births there. Two of these births will be capable of handling an Icon Class cruise ship. In addition, Royal Caribbean will look to expand Frederiksted, St. Croix. This will include work on dredging the pier to accommodate larger ships. Currently, the pier in St. Croix can only handle ships as large as a Voyager Class ship.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
