Undercover Cruiser Posted May 3, 2007 #26 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Richard, I can not say what it is because we were advised not to. I can only tell you what it's not going to be. Common sense says, if you are making a big announcement then you will make it during the week and not on the weekend. Also, I can tell you that it is not about Capt Club.

Undercover Cruiser Posted May 3, 2007 #28 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yes, the announcement will be on the website. Plus, the announcement will open up another website regarding the "press conference". I am hoping that you read a little between the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepsf Posted May 3, 2007 #29 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I believe I read someplace that RCCL had a third Uber-Luxury brand in the works??? Could this be it? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usha Posted May 3, 2007 #30 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Wouldn't that be SOMETHING if Royal Caribbean were buying Oceania???:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undercover Cruiser Posted May 3, 2007 #31 Share Posted May 3, 2007 No, Royal Caribbean International is not buying Oceania. There has been talks about that for months but it will not happen tomorrow. And based on the announcement, I just do not see them buying Oceania because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamkev Posted May 3, 2007 #32 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Let me try they are buying Carvinal, or heaven forbid Carnival is buying them:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undercover Cruiser Posted May 3, 2007 #33 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hi Pam.. Good one.:) .. What people are failing to realize is the fact that although Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruise lines and Pullmantur are under the same Corp umbrella. The brands are really split from each other. It is Celebrity that is making the announcement tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undercover Cruiser Posted May 3, 2007 #34 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I believe I read someplace that RCCL had a third Uber-Luxury brand in the works??? Could this be it? :confused: RCCL already has a third brand, Pullmantur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted May 3, 2007 #37 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I am going to sound like a wet blanket and will probably get flamed for it:rolleyes: but why would you come on here, tell us a "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT" is coming and then say you are not supposed to tell us:eek: Sorry, guess I just don't get it. And since you are Undercover, nobody will know you told us anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undercover Cruiser Posted May 3, 2007 #38 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Lois R, I never started the tread. I just answered the person who started it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelmac Posted May 3, 2007 #39 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Wouldn't it be from the decks of the Journey, as it starts it's very first voyage as a Celebrity ship on Saturday? Maybe just clarifying how the Journey and Quest will be different from other ships in the fleet? The BIG event Saturday is the Journey!:rolleyes: :) Enjoy!

RLM77 Posted May 3, 2007 #40 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Highly unlikely that they're buying another company; a transaction like that would have to be disclosed almost immediately to avoid the wrath of the SEC. Carolyn has already said that tomorrow (Friday) is the media/travel agent introduction to Quest, so there's a reasonable chance this has something to do with Quest and Journey. Remotely possible that they are creating more "distance" between these ships and the rest of X. IMO, however, if RCCL wanted to create a totally separate brand for the R-class, they would have done so immediately rather than started them out under a variant of the Celebrity brand. Alternatively, it is about time for X to start releasing details and itineraries for Solstice. Their conference call slides from earlier this week still lists her debut in fall 2008, so it's about time for them to start accepting reservations. A very slim chance that they could be acquiring assets (ships) from someone else (or perhaps selling them:eek:?). Or perhaps splitting some older ships off into a new RCCL brand. That type of transaction would not (necessarily) need to be immediately reported to the SEC. Seems very much a long shot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamkev Posted May 3, 2007 #41 Share Posted May 3, 2007 That's a good one Kel. Could be. Is that it Undercover or are they releasing the sailings for the floating city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 3, 2007 #42 Share Posted May 3, 2007 No you didn't, but from your comments you know what the annoucement will be. And as I said, since you are Undercover I was assuming you could post it....well you know what they say about assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamkev Posted May 4, 2007 #49 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Okay now we are getting somewhere let me think. Does it have anything to do what Kel or Marlee&Rich posted about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StknCPA Posted May 4, 2007 #50 Share Posted May 4, 2007 The Journey is involved. Celebrity made a deal with the Gov of California to use all unsold staterooms to house criminals, thereby alleviating prison over-crowding. While the prisoners are onboard, they are going to repaint all of the ships black, and paint big white "X"s on them. I got it, right? Just admit it!
