love2fish Posted June 27, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2007 All I know is that the CD on the Enchantment las week mentioned that the new ship would be three times the size of the Enchantment. Can you imagine THAT?!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo70 Posted June 27, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Will they have tenders to take you from one end of the ship to the other? Man would it suck to go all the way across the ship for dinner and realize you left your dentures in your stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negc Posted June 27, 2007 #18 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I would hate to leave something in my stateroom, and be at the other end of the ship. No problem. Among the many new and innovative features that will be introduced on this ship is the ability to teleport from one part of the ship to another. If they can strengthen the beam they may be able to eliminate tendering in those ports that currently require it.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
