jhannah Posted August 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Very cool. Looks like she's on track. Certainly looking handsome, even though somewhat skeletal at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliesmom Posted August 13, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's interesting to see it. It looks as though there is a shorter bow. Do you think that is so? Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted August 13, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's interesting to see it. It looks as though there is a shorter bow. Do you think that is so? Roberta Agree! It does appear that way from that particular angle but it should be the same type of bow as the Vista's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepsf Posted August 13, 2007 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's interesting to see it. It looks as though there is a shorter bow. Do you think that is so? Roberta No - it merely has an addition to the superstructure on Deck 4 forward, very much like that which is on Queen Victoria. (another Vista derivative...)

bepsf Posted August 14, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I find it disappointing that the forward corner SZ suites on Deck 10 will have no forward facing windows... ...without any forward facing windows, no jacuzzi tub and a smaller verandah than is typical for that category, I find little reason to spend the additional money for either of them.

Sunshine91 Posted August 14, 2007 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2007 That's one mighty big screw! :D Thanks for the pix, Copper. Our Edam bank account is looking healthy so it's good to know that she's coming along nicely, too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Deck Plans indicate that they would each have 2 forward windows. I wonder why the strange change. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bepsf Posted August 14, 2007 #15 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I agree....what a disappointment for an otherwise interesting cabin. You're right - IMO, that location seems to call out for floor-to-ceiling windows in all the staterooms at the front of Deck 10 ...but with those little windows in the C Category cabins and none facing forward in the corner suites, it appears that Deck 10 was designed by a bunch of accountants. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted August 14, 2007 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It makes for a bit of a boxy look, IMO. It was hard to tell from the renderings, but it's that way there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted August 14, 2007 Author #18 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Are you guys referring to those four rectangular windows two decks above the bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammybee Posted August 14, 2007 #20 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Captain John Scott , during his Q/A session, mentioned that CCL orders all new builds with a generic VISTA-Like platform. Once the CCL organization decides which cruise line will charter the ship, it gets customized to that cruise line's specifications. He made it very clear that the holding company owns the ships, not the individual cruise lines, within the greater organization. This is not too disimilar to the way other corporations account for their physical assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted August 14, 2007 #21 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Are you guys referring to those four rectangular windows two decks above the bridge? John, they're talking about Observation Deck Forward. Here: Note how the forward Suites have TINY verandahs but a nice forward view (two windows, actually, in each suite). The Photos don't depict what the deckplans show, however. There should be EIGHT windows across the front of the Observation Deck ... not four. As an aside, from a purely personal standpoint, I'm pleased to note that it would appear that the staff clergy cabins (and guest entertainer cabins) have been located on this deck, just forward the stairs. :) We're under the crows nest, instead of abaft it (like on the R class ships). That's nice. MUCH nicer than on the Vistas, actually. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "basic" Vista-class design can be found in the Carnival, HAL, Cunard and Costa fleets And P&O The first time I saw the Arcadia I thought she was a Vista. She's definitely based on the Vista hull.

(unless you'll be up there yourself ordering Wang Wang's, partying, whooping, hollering and doing the Macarena) And P&O Right again, forgot about Arcadia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless you'll be up there yourself ordering Wang Wang's, partying, whooping, hollering and doing the Macarena) Let's see ... I can pay a couple of thousand dollars, per-person, for a cruise ... or I can go free and preach/preside at the Eucharist for my room and board. Which do I choose? $$$$$ or Free Cruise?? Hard choice. :D As for the "whooping" and "hollering" ... uh ... John ... it's the Holland America Line. The old codgers go to sleep at 11 pm ... remember??? :D ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
