Royal Caribbean Cruises has announced it has received an extension regarding its option to purchase a second Ultra Voyager ship. The option involves a ship scheduled for delivery in 2007. Royal Caribbean and Kvaerner Masa-Yards, of Finland, builder of the first Ultra Voyager ship, agreed to extend the option to September 30, 2004. The option was to have expired on August 31, 2004.

The first Ultra Voyager ship, ordered on September 19, 2003, for delivery in May 2006, will be operated by the Royal Caribbean International brand. Roughly 15 percent larger than its Voyager-class ships, the Ultra Voyager will stand 18 stories high and cruise at approximately 22 knots. At 100 percent occupancy, it will carry 3,600 guests and 1,400 crew.

To the best of my knowledge, the exterior will look the same, only a little longer. The interior is said to pretty much have the same layout, but with improvements and some "special" innovations in the new areas.

I have previously suggested a convertible automobile racetrack. Convertible, that is, between NASCAR configuration for American cruisers, and Grand Prix configuration (e.g rightt turns as well as lefts) for Europeans and some, more selective Americans.

Actually, Studio B on the Voyager Class ships (which is the ice skating rink) was originally envisioned as a go-cart type race track. It was scrapped for something a little more multi-purpose which became Studio B.

Rumor is go-cart track may find it's way to Ultra-Voyager, and possibly a winding-river pool????

Oh no..... Now I wonder how Mickey/Carnival will respond to this? Bungee jump? Just more cabins and bigger ships?
