Perhaps because QM2 represented something of an historic development, being a liner, whereas FOTS is not radically different from anything else out there right now (it's only a stretched Voyager-class). Just a thought.

That is simply because a stretch of a Voyager class is nowhere near as exciting a the largest Ocean Liner ever built.

I'm sure RCI will boast about her in good time.

Joe, That´s how the FR looked like back in November last year. Today she looks like a "real" ship and in less than seven weeks, we will see her float out at AFY.
