There's some kind of error with the above link - this is from Funville (a thread about the 2 new Carnival ships on order to be built by Fincantiery, Italy) and this is for all scheduled for launch in 2013-2014-2015-2016 new cruise ships (on order/under construction) - along with Royal Caribbean, Costa, Carnival, Holland America, Princess, P&O and NCL Norwegian there are also ships to be built for smaller lines (plus Carnival and RCCL brands). And finally - some "CEO news" from dailymail.co.uk

135,000 ? still o.k.
more and more and more ship, that's great, but please no bigger than that.
Don't be like RCCL, bigger ship, very hard for crew member.

I understand that winter 2016 is the intended launch date

I am not so sure bigger is better, too. I would like to see more ports involved. Bur Carnival is going to produce a 180,00 ton 6,600 or more passenger ship in 2019 for their brands Aida, and two more. There are still a lot of people who want to cruise, and most larger ships go out full. However, I am wondering if the larger ships can help to keep prices down, or will they more expensive still ? Actually, I think we need a very low cost cruise line ,something on the order of EasyCruise for longer cruises. Any comments ? (the new deck plan and 2016 schedule is out on the Vista in the Carnival brochure 2016 - 2017 )
