Celebrity Beyond start 2019???

Hey Guy´s

I wrote a bit today with celebrity on Facebook. And they said Celebrity Beyond will start in 2019. I thought it would not start until 2020

It was announced for Spring 2020, but the rapid pace of construction shown in these daily photos may mean that the project is ahead of schedule. (yn)

That would be great.... Although I no longer hope the prices will be lower :'):'):'):')

Have they cut steel yet?

I think they have to wait until Edge floats out of the drydock.

hhow many dry docks do the yard have? There are also two ships to be built by MSC until 2019. Is there room for the construction of the Beyond that will finish in 2019?

These are all questions that would be better answered by Lloyd555

it also depends on the size of their storage space. can the store cut steel? Can they hold built sections/blocks for months before bringing them to the dry docks.

The original Jan 2017 press release from Celebrity stated that Beyond would be delivered in Spring 2020, not started in 2020. A ship needs over a year to construct. For delivery in spring 2020, the construction must begin in early 2019. Nothing in your information means anything has changed.

"MIAMI, Jan. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To kick off the New Year in style, Celebrity Cruises is announcing an exclusive partnership with design icon Nate Berkus, naming him Design Ambassador for the brand's newest class of ships – Edge Class.....

......Edge Class is Celebrity's first new ship class in nearly a decade, succeeding the brand's revolutionary Solstice Class. The company expects delivery of Celebrity Edge in Fall 2018. Celebrity Beyond is scheduled for delivery in Spring 2020, and the third and fourth Edge Class ships in Fall 2021 and Fall 2022, respectively."

Celebrity's schedule now goes out to April 2020. Still no mention of Beyond. ????

Seems they will be including the Magic Carpet on Beyond..without seeing how it works on on EDGE.,..guess that would be a huge deal to change that out but would love to see something different in its place.

I see no reason why they would not include it in all the Edge class ships. It is a signature feature that the Edge class is designed around. It would make no sense to eliminate it on the rest of the ships in that class.

correct. the MC is what the Edge class is all about.

With due respect ... if the Magic Carpet is "what the Edge class is all about" I would suggest that Celebrity is in trouble. The new design of the ship (spine vs. the old exoskeleton) was to (mostly) support the "Infinite Veranda" staterooms? This seems to be the most innovative change and the feature might appeal the most to consumers??

the MC is what people will see. It is the hallmark feature. No one will break out the plans and do a structural analysis of how it is built.

The Magic Carpet is a necessary feature as it was designed to be the platform used to access the newly designed tenders. It would make sense that all Edge class ships would have a Magic Carpet.
