I agree with you. But had to highlight the Icon class, because when I told my wife that Icon 2 was named 'Star', she immediately replied that Icon 3 should then be 'Legend'.then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a summer in the Med, then come over to USA but what will be homeport? Would have to be Miami/Fort Lauderdale it couldn't be NYC would never fit under the Verrazzano Narrows bridge and it couldn't operate tender boarding or disembarking it is too far to the Brooklyn Cruise terminal.

Any ship going to either Bayonne, Manhattan or Brooklyn has to go under the bridge. So there is no problem docking anywhere because of it. Royal has their reasons why they dock where they dock.

It is too far to the Brooklyn Terminal. So without NYC isn't most of the east coast out of the running apart from Miami and FL. This the problem they are going to have moving forward 1 large ship might have to be in europe full time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Icon, Wonder, and Star and probably Harmony won't fit under the bridge they are too big for any of those 3 ports?

The only O class ships serving the NYC area are the Oasis and Symphony both going to Bayonne, and they do fit under the bridge so need for tenders etc. I have no idea about newer builds. Maybe someone else has that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfish65 Posted October 6, 2023 #39 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Star of the Seas, not very original but better in my opinion than forcing improbable words into the names like Spectrum, Quantum, Utopia, Ovation, Icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icon coming from the Meyer Turku shipyard has to fit under the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark just like Oasis and Allure did. That bridge seem to have a couple meters lower clearance than Verrazano Narrows. Those ships and the Q class have retractable funnels to allow passage, I assume Icon will as well?
