JAMESCC Posted February 5, 2013 #126 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No announcement yet? I thought they usually do it at 10AM or something? I'm dying for some info here. RCCL always keeps you on the edge of your seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMESCC Posted February 5, 2013 #128 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Wait that's it, NAMES! Come on guys that is pretty weak only giving names. I like the names though myself, I know its a controversial thing so I'm sure many will disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Valley Posted February 5, 2013 #130 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thats what I thought... But in the Press release it says: "the first two" meaning there will be more than two. There was an article a while ago about a subcontractor that got the bid for I beleive was air conditioning on the new ships, and it said it was for two ships in the contract with an option for two more at a later date!:D Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp.dll Posted February 5, 2013 #131 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So does this mean there isn't going to be an "oasis 3"? I heard rumours about that in addition to the now Quantum Class. I'll be very interested to check these new ships out. Maybe I can sneak in an oasis class cruise before the Quantum Inaugural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdmullins Posted February 5, 2013 #132 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I like the name. But I am a sci-fi lover and Quantum Leap jumped into mind when I first heard it. Did I just show my age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very interested to check these new ships out. Maybe I can sneak in an oasis class cruise before the Quantum Inaugural. Oasis 3 and 4 are on order from STX France. The Quantum Class ships are being built by Meyer Werft, in Germany. My understanding is that there are 2 on order and an option for two more of the Quantum Class ships.

OHCruisin Posted February 5, 2013 #134 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Those are terrible, terrible names. All I can think when I see Anthem is health insurance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funfamilyof6 Posted February 5, 2013 #135 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Perhaps the Explorer when she's quite possibly displaced by the Quantum? I think Explorer should currently be doing short cruises and Liberty OTS should be doing the week long, but thats just MHO. Totally agree!!!

poncho1973 Posted February 5, 2013 #138 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It is called the Sunshine class and you think there will be hardly any windows and balconies? I think they will throw in way more windows and balconies. People want a personal balcony and too be able to stare at the sea. I do remember when it all first got started that they talked about them being smaller than the Allure and Oasis so that they could fit into European ports. You didn't read the string of running jokes in the thread did you? We were mocking that picture with the signatures all over it. However, explaining it takes the fun out of it.

gstewart Posted February 5, 2013 #139 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I really like Anthem of Seas. It sounds good. Quantum of the Seas just sounds a bit strange. Reminds me of the Bond film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted February 5, 2013 #140 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Okay, we're up to six threads on the front page about this. Time for the moderators to merge and put them in the sticky..... I think we're going to be talking about this for a while to come.:rolleyes: Good idea, but I think it would be better to make two threads -- one for Sunshine (Quantam, whatever) and a separate one for the new Oasis/Genesis Class ship. It will cut down on confusion, and quite frankly, not everyone is interested in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted February 5, 2013 #141 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think a Saturday Ship will come eventually to PC, maybe Oasis, when the 3rd one comes out, or maybe even the 3rd ship, like they did with Mariner. Carnival is running 3 ships at the moment, but are moving one away, PC has just become the 2nd busiest cruise port, need to make it #1 I agree, but am not sure our port is deep enough for the Oasis? And would probably need a much bigger parking area (though many are not parking there any longer due to the change in pricing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesteelo Posted February 5, 2013 #142 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think Quantum of the Seas is the worst name they have ever come up with. Sounds like some silly attempt to make it sound futuristic. Anthem of the Seas however is nice, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icruzthere4Iam Posted February 5, 2013 #143 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The silhouette is quite interesting as well ... I'm intrigued as I don't see a truly defined Viking Crown Lounge looking structure on this rendering!! I really, really hope they are not doing away with is as that is one of my favorite spots onboard and a truly distinctive branding on RCCL ships.

Rare island lady Posted February 5, 2013 #144 Share Posted February 5, 2013 More than one SOS!! Serenade and Splendor. Oh that's right!! duh to me!! Actually if you are counting, I forgot a third one. The Sovereign of the Seas!! Remember that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they will do what P&O Cruises used to have on their ships and move the Viking Crown to the front of the ship. That would give some spectacular views.

Chicky2181 Posted February 5, 2013 #146 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Interesting analysis: [ATTACH]259515[/ATTACH] This is the photo released today. [ATTACH]259516[/ATTACH] This is a photo found by someone on CC. Notice the images do mirror each other. There looks to be a solarium at the front as well as in the middle of the shop. [ATTACH]259517[/ATTACH] The two solarium concept can be seen here. Notice forward pool and a mid pool is covered by glass. Edit: Also found this. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Maybe having more covered swimming areas will open up more sailings to cooler weather areas.....like Alaska or Europe. Or even the fall/winter months out of NJ!

I am speculating that whatever makes the Quantum "Sunshine" is going to be attached to the back end of the Viking. Maybe even have stairs out the back of the Viking Deck into an enclosed glassed in area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
