The name of the third one, which will be delivered in 2008, has not yet been announced. Keep an eye on their website for the latest news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gja360 Posted October 11, 2005 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The Endeavor is also the name of one of the 3 remaining Space Shuttle Orbiters. This is from NASA's site explaing the name... Endeavour, the newest addition to the four-orbiter fleet, is named after the first ship commanded by James Cook, the 18th century British explorer, navigator and astronomer. On Endeavour's maiden voyage in August 1768, Cook sailed to the South Pacific (to observe and record the infrequent event of the planet Venus passing between the Earth and the sun). Determining the transit of Venus enabled early astronomers to find the distance of the sun from the Earth, which then could be used as a unit of measurement in calculating the parameters of the universe. In 1769, Cook was the first person to fully chart New Zealand (which was previously visited in 1642 by the Dutchman Abel Tasman from the Dutch province of Zeeland). Cook also surveyed the eastern coast of Australia , navigated the Great Barrier Reef and traveled to Hawaii. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsshipboy Posted October 12, 2005 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Not exactly legit info. Freedom will visit Bayonne on her inaugural tour. Before starting revenue cruises, she will do a series of showcases and travel agent / press cruises. It will be some time before we see a permanent Freedom class ship in NY. I think that the spread will be 1 and 2 in Miami, and 3 in San Juan, the same as they did with the Voyager class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see what else I can find out and get back to you. I was specifically told a "Freedom Class" ship would be sailing out of Bayonne. I wasn't told which ship. I was also told Grandeur would be sailing it's winter schedule out of Tampa which turned out to be accurate. This was well before any official announcement.

gja360 Posted October 12, 2005 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Ok thank you! It would make things so much easier for me if they had one of the freedom class ships based in NJ. I think it would be a good move for the company to have a ship of that size in the NY area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
