You believe correctly. Wonder is being built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique yard at Saint-Nazaire.

sbtagent Posted October 30, 2019 #129 Share Posted October 30, 2019 This ship will not look like the previous Oasis class ships, same size, but different installations on deck, and it is focused on what the chinese like, it is supposed to be stationed in China all year round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean more gambling, charges for other things normally included like on the Spectrum? Plenty of short cruises, no tender ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ethanol95 Posted October 31, 2019 #133 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) In conjunction with Royal's collection of Perfect Day islands, I have a hunch they plan to develop something in one of the smaller islands in Phillippines, like a private beach club or something of asian tastes. But that won't probably exist till 2023+. Longer sea days to spend on the ship gambling and stops at pristine white sand beaches, which the Chinese are actually attracted to too!

Its bot the length of an O class that would keep it out of the OPT in Sydney. It's the width. It would block half of the ferry channels. Like was said above - maybe Brisbane...in future years.

Interesting idea, there are plenty of islands currently not being used here. Sandy white beaches would be at a premium, supposedly Quantum was denied Boracay because of pollution problems. Philippines said Quantum was too big, currently Celebrity is scheduled for a stop with a less than 3,000 passenger ship. Might have to find a place in the central islands, would probably want to avoid Mindanao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaikG Posted October 31, 2019 #136 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I’m not sure about the Perfect Day in Philippines. It would take too long from Shanghai. It would be more practical from Hong Kong or Singapore but I’m not sure if they are Oasis class capable. Also in June, Royal Caribbean released a statement wherein they said they would develop their own destination in Kumamoto, Japan so that would be more likely for a Perfect Day or Royal Beach Club as they would be able to do the routine 4 night and 5 night cruises from Shanghai.

Phillippines is actually notably closer to Shanghai than Singapore. Would work well witha year round deployment where it's not too cold in winter. Also, even though HK is relatively near, that's not going to happen if political unrest continues. Developing a perfect day in Japan might not work out weatherwise (it's too far north) unless it's somewhere like Okinawa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that the Philippines might be a more likely destination if the ship was homeported in either Singapore or HK, but not Shanghai. Also, both Quantum and Spectrum from Shanghai were exclusively going to Japan (or Korea before the political disputes) year round and RC has already claimed a property in Kumamoto so it is certain they will develop something there. It might not be a beach property, but something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with Royal's streak of announcing new things, maybe it won't be that long before we hear about their plans for a Perfect Day in Asia. Would be nice to have one in Vietnam or Phillippines tbh.

sbtagent Posted October 31, 2019 #140 Share Posted October 31, 2019 to me, this Oasis ship, Wonder of the seas, looks different, the aft of the ship where the others have Aqua theatre, and the top of the ship looks like a new design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
