G.M.T. Posted July 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Costa is to get two new LNG ships, to be built in Finland: http://www.seatrade-cruise.com/news/news-headlines/costa-brand-to-get-2-lng-newbuilds-from-meyer-turku.html Carnival Corp Euroleans brands have done well, getting 4 of the recently annouced new builds. The only negative part, for me; is that the new ships will accommodate up to 6600 passengers, not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancer Bob Posted July 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The ships won't enter service for another 5 years. The only economic prediction I make that far out is that Greece will be demanding another bail-out. The shipyard probably needs new contracts and gave them a good deal. If one is based in Savona for western Med, then every port will probably be an embarkation port, you won't have the 6600 passenger everybody-on, everybody-off zoo.

negc Posted August 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Far far too big and how would Costa be able to fill them ? By using a very large shoe horn. So much smaller than Oasis or Allure but 600 more passengers. Gonna be very congested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.M.T. Posted August 10, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) By using a very large shoe horn. So much smaller than Oasis or Allure but 600 more passengers. Gonna be very congested. Cabin layout on the new Costa ships, with room service (also looks like All Inclusive Drink Package is doing the rounds). Edited August 10, 2015 by G.M.T.

negc Posted September 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Doesn't look like too many are excited about Costa adding two new megaships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
