Thats around the same size as RCs Voyager Class.

So maybe Pricess are planning a larger version of their current ships???

There was an earlier rumour that said that Princess has a design based on the Ruby but lengthened.

They aren't nicking my design for Verona are they?

Verona is a lenghted Ruby...

Maybe Princess might build some 90,000 ton ships?

It seems that the most popular size for Princess (from reading comments) passengers is the Island/Coral size (about 90,000). So this will be interesting.

I agree. I think the NCL Epic looks very boxy and not at all attractive.

Carnival Corporation told financial analysts aboard the Carnival Dream in New York that a newbuilding order for Princess Cruises may be finalized before the end of the year. Carnival also indicated that new capacity will continue to grow by two to three ships by year past 2011.
