New ship(s)

[molecrochip]

I think a couple of Pinnacle class ships for P&O would be a fantastic idea.

 

I would also phase out the older Holland America Line ships for more Pinnacle class vessels.

 

Same for Island Princess.

 

As for Grand class ships, whilst Ventura is only 16 years old, the first in class Grand Princess is 26 years old. So no real win by receiving these now.

We have had Nieuw Statendam here in the Firth of Forth a few times this year.  Manageable number of passengers to get on and off sensibly.

If Queen Anne will be the last solely diesel ship that Carnival build, I imagine HAL will have a new design for any new upcoming LNG vessel.

I'm not familiar with the different class of ships. We like the promenade deck on Ventura. Have they stopped making ships like that? They all seem to have glass barriers now, is this to try and stop people from going overboard?

Yes, last ship like Ventura was built in 2010.

The last ship in this class was called Azura and the promenade deck was severely compromised insofar as to complete the full circuit at the bow end it is necessary to go inside to access the upper bow section. Access in the design was caused by the introduction of balcony cabins in the forward area.
