Something designed to make Oasis and Allure seem like old hat?

 

That would be cool, for them I guess. Me personally, I don't need my cruise ship to be the size of Manhatten and stuffed full of screaming children.

Will they be worth the wait ... ?

Is this about the vista class ship for MSC ??

 

If you read Vago's remarks about wanting to "invent the iPhone of the cruise industry", savings of scale, about fatter rather than longer and that one of the new builds is set to replace the Divina out of Miami, you would not just expect a Vista Class ship. Expect a new take on 'the cruise ship' and a new class altogether.

Vista class ships were built by Fincantieri in Italy not STX.
