Slightly off topic (my apologies!) but I just realized that this yard is going to see a lot of ships built quickly:AIDASol - 2011 delivery
Celebrity Silhouette - Fall 2011 delivery
Disney Fantasy - April 2012 delivery
AIDA Unknown - 2012 delivery
Celebrity Reflection - Fall 2012 delivery
NCL F4 1 - April 2013 delivery
AIDA Unknown - Spring 2013 delivery
NCL F4 2 - April 2014 delivery 8 ships between now and Spring of 2014! It is great to see that Meyer Werft has a good book of orders for the next couple of years... Best regards, Brian

Beezo Dont forget the newbuilds for Princess! 2011:
Disney Dream
Marina (Oceania)
AIDASol
L’Austral (sister to Le Boréal)
Costa Fantastica
Carnival Magic
Seabourne Quest
MSC Fantastica
Celebrity Silhouette 2012:
Disney Fantasy
AIDA (6th of that class)
Costa Fascinosa
Riviera (Oceania; sister to Marina)
Carnival Breeze
MSC Favolosa
Celebrity Reflection
2013:
AIDA (7th of that class)
NCL F4 (#1)
Princess (new-class #1)
2014:
NCL (F4 #2)
Princess (new-class #2) I am guessing that after the delivery of the Celebrity REFLECTION in the Fall 0f 2012 we wont see anymore newbuilds from them for a while. They will no doubt (hopefully?) keep the Celebrity CENTURY around for another five years. [ 01-05-2011: Message edited by: dmwnc1 ]

He was only referring to Meyer Werft's order book, which is prety impressive but doesn't include all the ships you've listed. quote:

Not sure I see that happening, though I would certainly like to as she is one of my very favorite ships. But even given her big refurbishment in 2006, she will be noticeably different from all the other ships in the fleet by the time the current program of improvements to the MILLENNIUM-class ships is carried out, which will be early 2013 (or early 2012 if one considers CONSTELLATION to already be "finished," but she still has more significant changes to come). So I am not sure how much longer they will keep her around, especially when you consider that from adding five SOLSTICE-class ships and losing three CENTURY-class ships is still a huge net gain in capacity.Of course, I wish they kept all the CENTURY-class and gave them the kind of upgrades the MILLENNIUM-class are getting, since as I said, I really like these ships, but the two that have left the fleet have certainly gone to a good home and that's where I expect CENTURY to follow. They're getting the kind of investment they deserve, just under a different flag.
