Slough God Posted June 3, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Yes the title is correct! I have a friend who must remain unknown who has told me that P&O will be ordering a brand new 148,000 ton ship. He doesn't know the name but, the order will be placed soon Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted June 3, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Much too big for me. I personally feel that any ship that cannot use the Panama Canal (current size, not planned new locks) is too damned big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted June 3, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hi There, Do you mean the one due to be ready Spring 2010, which will be 116,000 or do you mean another new ship. yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough God Posted June 3, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted June 3, 2007 it is another new ship. Think we should be looking about 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted June 3, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hi There, Well it could be possible, with 40 new build cruise ships already on the books 2011 would be the first chance they or any one would have of adding to their fleet, so would expect Carnival corp to book a slot decide closer to the date you is getting what. Would not expect this to increase the fleet numbers, as folk in Aus have been saying they expect a lot of second hand ships to be making there way to them in the next few years. My only concern is where are all these cruise ships going to go, many ports are now over run with ships , hence the great list of new ports for this year. But these to will fill up,. more sea days ? per cruise . yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenndale Posted August 26, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Much too big for me. I personally feel that any ship that cannot use the Panama Canal (current size, not planned new locks) is too damned big! Have to agree with you. I certainly won't be travelling on her or Ventura far too many passengers to embark and disembark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soletread Posted August 27, 2007 #12 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Has anybody heard any romours about the Arcadia When I first sailed on her 2006 there was gossip on board she was going over to Princess in 2008 but I see she is staying with P&O as we have booked her for July 2008 and then she starts the world cruise run in 2008. Just interested as we love her and she is child free unlike the new Ventura and a possible Ventura 2 which at that size they will doubtless be family ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forest_ Posted August 30, 2007 #17 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Have to agree with you.I certainly won't be travelling on her or Ventura far too many passengers to embark and disembark. Having just sailed on the Navigator of the seas ex Southampton, I can tell you that embarkation and disembarkation was far quicker than on P&O and i am a regular P&O cruiser. This on a ship with 3400 or so passengers. Also tendering is far superior on RCI no delays so size don't matter!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
