Opps just when you here about Titanic II being laid down in December well RCI may just build another Oasis, Oasis Class holds Oasis of the Seas & Allure of the Seas. Below is a link that I found and iv searched the internet and wikipedia has even made an 3rd sister section on Oasis Class article.

from link >
Rumors are flying after a Finnish newspaper, Turun Sanomat, reported that Royal Caribbean is about to sign a deal to build a third Oasis-class ship.

The massive vessel would be a sister ship to the 225,282-ton Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, the largest ships in the world.

I can verify this rumour.
There are many ways to calculate the size of a vessel: Allure is 0,5 meters longer than Oasis and they have the other sizes, tonnage etc equal, so Allure is 'larger' then Oasis.

Looks like a cattle carrier to me.

Thats how they build cruise ship nowadays.

 

Not the curved hulls with 1st 2nd class windows and acco;s from the historical beauties.

These Blocks of flats disgust me

If I were in charge of a cruise line, I would bring back the classic ocean liner design. Something like the Queen Elizabeth II or the original Oriana. Not these city blocks.

If you can get that through SOLAS, you'll have my full support.

Whilst appreciating that the bigger the ship the more passengers that can be carried so therefore lower running costs and greater spend by passengers and all that rot, these huge ugly monsters do suffer from one major flaw - the longer the ship and the deeper the draught the number of ports that can accept these beasties becomes even more restricted.  If I may give just one example - P&O's Arcadia when visiting 'Stockholm' in Sweden actually anchors at a port south of that fair city which involves an hours coach journey to and another hour back from Stockholm itself.  Arcadia is not big by current standards but too big to tie up alongside the wall in Stockholm itself.  This problem has been known by cruise line operators for a number of years now, but they still try to out do each other to build thse floating monstrosities!!!

Hi Folks,
Perhaps there should be an entirely new class measuring in at 400m?

It should also look more futuristic or classic,
not the skyscrapers.
