Fitzget Posted April 3, 2014 #226 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't know what that means. If you mean adding amusement park rides to ships, then I would agree. Oasis class ships are approaching 2 billion dollars to produce, if that is thinking outside the box, you are correct they are afraid to do that. I would love to hear more about new concepts that would be welcomed by Carnival cruisers. The only one I have seen to make more snese so far is addtional pools. I agree with you, building ships as insane as Oasis would prevent Carnival from being able to keep their prices down. I would like to see better Serenity areas. Spirit class ships and Sunshine are, I believe, the only ones with serenity pools. A serenity area is a joke without a pool, IMO. I think something inside, more along the lines of a Royal Promenade type space, would be nice. And just a different look all together. One thing I like about RCI is that with every new class, the ships have a new look (with the exception of Voyager and Freedom class). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzget Posted April 3, 2014 #227 Share Posted April 3, 2014 There was some posts here a while back about a new concept that Fincantieri (builder of Carnival corp ships and others) had a new concept class of ships called the Miele project. It was runmored back then that the Vista would use this concept (unconfirmed). I cannot find the report again when I googled it. I'm confused by that project. Maybe I'm just being dense, but if you move the pools down to a lower deck, where do you get the sun? Would it be an open concept like Oasis?

Destinyinspirationdream Posted April 8, 2014 #232 Share Posted April 8, 2014 totally off topic.. I know but what do you think vista's home port will be? I'm thinking miami just because of the size needed for a ship that size Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about RCI's Freedom Class, and the ports that they sail out of. Even the Voyager class are a bit larger and those sail out of many many ports. Not to mention Oasis class sailing out of Ft Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted April 10, 2014 #236 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm hoping for NYC!!:D That would be a first for Carnival, putting a new ship in New York. Since they are not sailing year round from there now, if they did it, it would be seasonal at best.

kybluecruiser Posted April 11, 2014 #237 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Ccl support on twitter a couple weeks ago said that most likely renderings of the ship will be released third or fourth quarter 2014 and bookings will open up sometime 2015.

It makes sense for bookings, the renderings is a little disappointing. I had thought they would be releasing them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbaby2 Posted April 14, 2014 #239 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Im thinking ft lauderdale to compete with rcl oasis class. Its the biggest port on the east coast. Its busier then miami. Easy to get in and out of. All I know is that im ready to book it!!!!! :) Sent from my GT-P5210 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng23 Posted April 17, 2014 #240 Share Posted April 17, 2014 NYC..........to compete with Quantum and Breakaway It won't compete against the Quantum any more. Quantum will be based in China starting in May 2015. The newer Anthem of the Seas is going to NJ late in 2015 so that would be the likely competition if that holds true.

Rare jimbo5544 Posted April 18, 2014 #242 Share Posted April 18, 2014 When they announced the new Camp Oceans announcement today, they mentioned it would be on the Vista in Early 2016. It is the first time I have seen a timeframe )other than a year) about when she will be sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you may see is some new innovations on the Vista. Another pool would be a welcomed addition.

I wouldn't put too much into it, I don't think Carnival will be building anything over 170,000 tons any time soon. Personally I don't think it'd be a good idea anyways and that the same awe factor can be attained on a smaller ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
