Royal Caribbean has announced that construction has officially began on Spectrum of the Seas, the first Quantum Ultra class cruise ship from the cruise line.
The first piece of steel was cut at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany marking the start of construction on the new cruise ship. The next engineering marvel in the innovative cruise line’s lineup will officially be named Spectrum of the Seas.
Set to debut in 2019, Spectrum of the Seas will be the next evolution of the cruise line’s groundbreaking and high-tech Quantum class of ships placing the ship in a new class of her own. The revolutionary Quantum Ultra ship will specifically be designed for guests in China and the Asia-Pacific region, and will feature cutting-edge and unprecedented experiences and amenities.
Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International, gave the following statement about this new cruise ship: “Today is a very special day in the development of our new Quantum Ultra ship, Spectrum of the Seas. We are now one step closer to delighting our guests in Asia Pacific with this remarkable ship. Spectrum will be another giant leap forward in vessel design and guest experiences that will provide travelers with ample opportunities to create unforgettable memories.”
This ship is so hideous. A monstrosity. It is time to bar all these floating nightmarish Vegas slums from any ports.
