With Allure of the Seas having made her debut,t he next logical question is what will be the next ship for Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean executives have been tight lipped on the issue but the next order could be sooner than we think.
Wells Fargo Securities analyst Tim Conder thinks that based on a recent analyst meeting with executives earlier this week about Allure of the Seas, that Royal Caribbean is likely to order a new ship sometime in early 2011, with delivery in 2014.
Conder speculates that the new vessel would be in the 4,000 to 4,200 berth range. This figure is significantly smaller than Oasis and Allure of the Seas, which can accommodate 5,400 passengers.
