Neal, I have the same question, do not think you missed it...

Harry - you mentioned meetings, is this with management of P&O? You also mentioned just designing all the areas first, then figuing out how you want it laid out, worry about the technical stuff later... I agree with that - of course I am the wrong person to give tips on Systems Design

Before you dig in and learn about all that crazy techie stuff someone was saying before, are you going to try and have your idea sold to P&O?

How much time do you spend on this, it seems like you are investing daily time..?

Have a good night, Dan

LESS 12 HOURS TO GO UNTIL BIG THE REVEAL !!!

Why the name Verona you ask.


Well the name is always a big decision to make and I hate doing it.


I knew that I wanted something around 5 – 7 letters long, and it would have to have that A on the end like most of the P&O cruises ship have had.


The name Verona first came to me when my English teacher was reading through Romeo and Juliet. “ In fair Verona” she said. Straight away Verona stood out to me, so I stuck with it. And of course Verona is in Italy, which is where the current P&O Cruises newest ships have been constructed, but I unsure about the size of the dry docks, so for now the Verona is planned to be built in STX France.

Dan,


I have had many meeting with Stephen Payne and Richard Dixon but only one with Nigel Esdale the managing director of P&O Cruises .


The plan is to sell my idea of Verona to Mickey Arison, Carnival Corporation's Chairman, P&O Cruises owner or parent company. Stephen Payne has very close contacts with him, as he is the vice chairman, so it shouldn't be that difficult.


I was planning to visit Richard Dixon at Project International this week as I am on my school holidays at the moment. Sadly I was unable to as he is away in France. I guess he is probably work on the new NCL ship. But the lady I called did say he will be back Friday, so maybe if he doesn't get back to late I could visit him them, if not I will have to be next week after school if he is not busy.


As for time spending, I never stop 24hrs and day 7 days a week. Put I this way I go to school early most mornings by there is a lot more space for my very large plan. I am in school by 7:30am and school doesn't actually start until 8:50am. You must all think I am >>>


All the best,


Harry.

I will be revealing the names of the 7 very different and new Staterooms Classes on board Verona.

These are the classes that all of the stateroom categories on Verona will be divided up into. I am only revealing the class and not the actual categories, these will be reveal later.


10 hrs 40 mins and counting.....

10 HOURS AND COUNTING !!!

Well, I, like quite a few others, I suspect, have been silently following all this with great interest.
again, welcome to the forum

I am much taken with your drive and incredible initiative, Harry.
