Royal Caribbean orders fourth Quantum Class Ship!

[OfTheSeasCruiser]

I'm gonna go on a limb and predict a fifth ship ordered sometime next year for a 2020 delivery date.

I would like the 4th Quantum to be called Encore of the Seas. Fits well with the previous two and I quite like the musical theme :)

 

Anthem > Ovation > Encore > ?

 

But what could the next one be? Prelude of the Seas? Symphony of the Seas?

This news really has me perplexed. Looking at the reviews of these ships they just don't seem to be well received at all - they have many many more negative reviews that any other ship in their lineup. Less than half the cruisers on Quantum and Anthem provide a positive review. Yet they keep ordering new ships despite that fact.

 

I'd be curious to see the percentage of repeat cruisers on these ships is compared to other ships in RCI's line. They may be getting first time bookings but, with less than half cruisers giving the ships a positive review, I just don't see how this is going to be sustainable in the long-term.
