On that day, the Symphony of the Seas (spring delivery) must leave its basin for three days of sea trials and therefore return the following Sunday. At the same time, the second most advanced liner, the Celebrity Edge (delivery end 2018) will leave its current form of construction for its first bath in the Loire. she will then come to position herself along the quay of Penhoët, passing through the form Joubert.

CP3o Posted January 3, 2018 #1334 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just wondered about the shows, aside from Hairspray, night I have seen the diving / ice / other shows on any precious ship?

Clarea Posted January 3, 2018 #1335 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just wondered about the shows, aside from Hairspray, night I have seen the diving / ice / other shows on any precious ship? ... The other "permanent" shows have all been unique to each Oasis and Quantum class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3o Posted January 4, 2018 #1336 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The other "permanent" shows have all been unique to each Oasis and Quantum class ship. Thanks. Does unique mean only within the newest ships or could have been on smaller ship? I guess Grease is unique to Harmony but not unique to RCCL b/c on IOTS, have seen it both places. Something about the Flight show seemed familiar but I think it might have been a different line entirly or an ice show as opposed to production show.

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted January 8, 2018 #1340 Share Posted January 8, 2018 New terminal progress Jan 2. Sent from my STH100-1 using Forums mobile app Thanks for sharing. The original drawings and now photos raise the question as to why Royal Caribbean would build such a modern and beautiful new terminal located in what is essentially an industrial shipping area. The surrounds are a stark contrast to what the new facility will look like - the selection of that particular location is puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted January 8, 2018 #1341 Share Posted January 8, 2018 the selection of that particular location is puzzling. It limits the distance Symphony and Allure need to go backwards in the channel to get to the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted January 8, 2018 #1342 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It limits the distance Symphony and Allure need to go backwards in the channel to get to the terminal. Good to know, and certainly a good factor in their consideration. Still...the location appears to almost be like parking a Mercedes next to a dumpster. Not "inviting". We've seen some terminals in similar ports in Europe and the Caribbean both...and they detract from a positive cruising experience. With this being a totally new (not converted) terminal...one would have thought a better location could have been found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted January 8, 2018 #1344 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If you look at POM overall, not really anywhere else to put it. That is quite unfortunate. Perhaps they could have bought some neighboring land to create a broader "nice" view somehow (big trees for example). Considering when Symphony and Allure are both there, roughly 12,000 passengers will see the various views from the ship...hopefully it doesn't leave a negative impression of what appears to be a very nice new cruise terminal itself. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 8, 2018 #1345 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The vast majority of cruise terminals share the neighborhood with commercial shipping. Navigable waters are very rare Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted January 8, 2018 #1346 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The vast majority of cruise terminals share the neighborhood with commercial shipping. Navigable waters are very rare Indeed I have seen some similar ports terminals...but this one seem in a particularly commercial freight area. It seems questionable as to why they chose it for their new flagship location...especially without some form of "tree or other shielding" from the surrounding freight-yard appearance. Putting a shiny new terminal in a dumpy place like that (and with their flagship vessels there too) seems worthy of some serious consideration of (masking) the surroundings. If this is their "showplace"...there are effective and economical ways to accomplish the "shielding". Maybe they'll consider that as the construction continues.

Port land is way to valuable to use as a buffer I suspect a 40-50 foot wide strip of land around the terminal with full trees might be both affordable and effective. It's done in residential yards all the time. It's also possible that is still in the final landscaping plans. But as is, it's really unattractive no matter what they do the terminal itself.

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted January 8, 2018 #1350 Share Posted January 8, 2018 PE is similar and their flagship vessels are there as well.Yes and no...and that's not their new flagship terminal location where they could choose more than one place to position it. We've sailed PE plenty of times...and the views leaving are of the mostly-attractive landscaped channel...the harbor folks spent some money to make it that way...it'll be a different experience in Miami if nothing changes, especially for first-time (first impression) cruisers.
