Hmm maybe time fore some rethinking with Carnival. Somebody over there must notice that smaller ships like Artemis, Prinsendam are very popular with there passengers. P&O and fore that matter HAL always cater to there passengers with smaller vessels. Big is not always better proof sold out in 17 minutes......... Maybe time to build smaller 35/45.000 grt ships fore both lines.
Greetings Ben.
Has it been pointed out that both the Artemis and the current Royal Princess will be in Manaus (Brazil) on the 16th and 17th of January? That Artemis cruise (from Barbados) looks very tempting to me.

From May 2011, she is being chartered by Germany's Phoenix Seereisen under the name ARTANIA.
