kimark Posted August 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Per the cruise director Dennis: - There will be balconies on the promenade rooms on the Genesis. - RCCL is not giving up on their smaller ships, however, he didn't say new ones would be built. Ships last approximately 40 years. - A Freedom class ship will probably replace the Mariner at Port Canaveral. They are not giving up on Port Canaveral. - Two of the stops mentioned on the repositioning of the Mariner will be Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town, South Africa.

gowensricks Posted August 14, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thank you for the post! I too was at that Meet and Mingle, however I came about ten minuted late, so I actually missed a couple of things. By the way, I too enjoyed Dennis!

And the last one (Cape Town, South Africa) should tell you all you need to know about the reliability of that source of information. LOL Also not sure that there are many cruiseships still in operation which were introduced in 1967. Any that are, are probably in their third or fourth iterations with different names and operated by small cruiselines out of distant foreign ports.:rolleyes: Nowadays, the public labels anything built before 2000 as "old".:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimark Posted August 15, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'm so sorry - I meant South America, not South Africa. I don't even know where South Africa came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyMc Posted August 15, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi, Kim! We too enjoyed the Meet and Mingle and thought Dennis did an excellent job for the entire cruise! Sorry there are always those who love to doubt reports and assail the reporters :p but I am here to back you up - Dennis did indeed indicate that cruise ships last about 40 years.
