SeaDog-46 Posted December 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 19, 2018 One Master for Sky Princess will be Capt. Heikki Laakkonen from Finland who has been on Sapphire P. for some time. He said he would be standing by the building after Sapphire repositions from Singapore to Southampton next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tert333 Posted December 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Great to see some pictures of the Sky Princess! We are on the March 2020 sailing. Was following a similar thread for the Celebrity Edge and it was good to see updates as the ship is being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crawford Posted December 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Not to hijack the thread but can anyone tell me why all the cruise ships seem to be built here? Can't other shipyards handle them? Thought the Diamond and Sapphire were pretty good ships (been on both) but it doesn't seem like cruise ships are coming out of Mitsubishi either.

If a shipyard gets an order for a ship it will have various costs incurred in getting set up to build it according to the specifics of the design of that ship wanted by the cruise line. Those costs would not occur for subsequent orders of more ships of the same class. Therefore it is cheaper for a cruise line to order multiple ships from a single shipyard than to order single ships from multiple shipyards. Carnival Corporation has something like 100 ships between the various cruise lines it owns. Those ships will continually require replacements. To get all or part of that business a shipyard will offer significant discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted December 28, 2018 #17 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Another reason is by buying items in bulk reduces the costs. Not just the ships but things like bed, chairs, tables, lights and other items. The cruise lines know how to cut costs when building new ships.
