Personally I'm imagining a straightforward "stretch" of the VOYAGER-class. Really, what more CAN they add?

Perhaps RADIANCE-class bits might be added, like the Colony Club with self-levelling billiards table... With expanded deck space they might re-introduce the water slide (perhaps not in the kids-only areas this time) and add a Magrodome (oops, "crystal canopy") over the Solarium... And other such "detail" changes... But I don't think there would be anything major.

I have to say, if they go with a railway I might start sounding like CGT .

Thats what I was just thinking! It would make it easier for people with trouble walking to get from one end of the ship to the other...

Or how about a complete replica of the Titanic, INSIDE, the ship?

The internal prom would stretch around one side of the titanic and look just like Southampton dock. Once you had boarded the Titanic, your accomodation and dining would be within the ship.

You could even walk on deck and look up at the cloulds, painted on the roof of the ship.

Surely a ship as long as UV will (might) be RCI will incorporate 3 if not 4 elevator/stair towers. Well, what if each tower was an atrium spanning the height of the ship with a different theme. One could be modeled after a Spanish plaza mayor, another could be made to feel like Times Square (gasp!) or Picadilly Circus, and yet another to look like a Roman city center. I guess there could be a Royal Promenade connecting the three or four "centrums," but not necessarily. They would all have glass-enclosed elevators but they would be heavily disguised to match the style of the area. Each would be capped by a glass dome for natural light and (perhaps?) these glass canopies could be opened. Restaurants, cafés, bars, clubs, shops, etc., would flank these areas and of course fit in with the theme. Each centrum would have staterooms that overlooked the area, many with balconies. Additionally, at the bottom of each centrum would be a guest relations desk. Upper deck areas including pools, spa, and fitness center would not be tied in to the neighborhood themes and neither would the main dining room(s).

Finally, the Viking Crown Lounge will be as it was (and should be) on Sovereign Class ships and completely surround the funnel for 360º views. And, to boot, it will slowly revolve to provide a continuously changing view. Of course there will be an alternative restaurant up there, too.

Oh, and one last thought... the Royal Suite(s) will be above the VCL with huge outdoor terraces and will also revolve. Imagine a NCL Garden Villa but much better.

So... CGT... do you think the CMM would like a ship like this?
