2 New Ships

[joksten2000]

An officer on board said this Dec DCL will announce two new ships for 2010. Both with 14 decks and will hold 3500 people. Hope he knew what he was talking about, and he did say it with confidence.

Our head server mentioned it to us on the 9/30 Eastern Cruise - pretty much word for word what you said. I was very surprised when I got back and couldn't find anything about it on the boards. Welcome back from your B2B Jokeston.

Hi!
I sure knows what he's talking about too! If this is true I will probably scream, or cry, like I did when I thought that a 3rd ship was being announced but there was no credibility...
I graduate in 2010 and that would be a pretty fun graduation present....

I sincerely hope it is true! I look forward to the announcement.

That would be amazing...because then hopefully, they would have a Med. Cruise all the time instead of just Summer '07. I'd love to visit all those places, but loved my cruise this past summer so much that I would want the Disney "magic" while I traveled there!

Fingers crossed

I will belive it when I see it. Sorry, but you hear about DCL buliding a new ship or two almost every other day. So I take it wiith a grian of salt.

Last week I heard something similar, got it second hand from the sister of a DVC owner who was just there and said they are building two ships, no other details except that they would be in NYNY and Ca. Would love to see that, but not holding my breath.

I sincerely hope its true! NY, NY would be great for New Englanders!

Yeah, he even had etchings of the new ships in the back of his truck.

(No offense, I really do hope it's true about 2 new ships.)

Yahooo!

Even if we have to wait 4-7 years for the new ships to arrive - I'm happy to hear of EVEN A RUMOR about new DCL ships!

Just checking is NY New York?

A HUGE grain at that. If I had a nickle for every "trust me, a new ship is just around the corner" rumor that I've seen posted here over time, I could have retired years ago.

the timing sounds about right, although maybe a little aggresive. Carnival announced yesterday the addition of 2 new smaller cruise ships (450 passengers each) to their fleet with an expected completion date of 2008/2009. If DCL has agreements in place already, 2010 may be possible.

Based on the rumors regarding this subject in the past 5 years, I'll believe it when I see it from Disney.

I guess there are company's who aren't deterred by the exchange rate.....

From what I have read on line, the current exchange rate will cost +/- $200 million extra for this ship.

Wow

Why would they put a new ship in NY and CA for that matter? I would think they would use the old ones to do land and seas with one new ones being Florida based for easier year yound 7 night trips (and the same with one in CA) New York year round wouldn't be much fun for a week trip. It takes some time to get some place warm.
