AtlantaCruiser72 Posted April 8, 2021 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Looking at the exterior photo it appears that the rumor of a redesign of the lifeboat system to prevent them hanging so far past the hull are true. This would allow her to possibly transit the Panama Canal with passengers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In previous interviews the HA project manager stated they are making promenade/lifeboat changes that will allow Panama Canal transient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted April 8, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Thanks for the photos. I like the changes that I think I am seeing in the lighting in the dining room. But, I notice the solid wall that separates the living area from the bedroom area, of what I assume will be a Vista Suite, remains a "fixture". Not enthusiastic about that.

That Vista Suite is confusing? However this a reading light behind couch? Anyone have a explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted April 9, 2021 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It looks like a reading light to me. I imagine it's there for people that sleep on the fold out couch. ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakridger Posted April 9, 2021 #13 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Are you referring to the light on the flexible arm pictured on the wall to the left above the couch? See above picture, sorry. It looks like a reading light above the couch/bed to me. ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be a family cabin? Usually the couch has always been in main area near the Verandha! Edited April 9, 2021 by aliaschief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakridger Posted April 9, 2021 #17 Share Posted April 9, 2021 aliaschief, the above picture is a Nieuw Statendam Vista Suite #7191. Similar set up. I recognized it as a friend had a cabin like this and I saw her pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakridger Posted April 9, 2021 #19 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I personally like the couch next to the balcony, but I've heard from others that prefer the bed next to the balcony like this one. Choice is good!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted April 9, 2021 #22 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The Bridge is coming together and will be ready for sea trials. The Bridge is coming together and will be ready for sea trials. I just love the comment about the bridge being ready for the sea trials. It would certainly make it a bit easier on the crew if the bridge was ready 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
