Sounds interesting!
I wonder if a third Disney ship would be a carbon-copy of Magic and Wonder, or a new design?
Maybe it would like more like an Ocean Liner than the QM2?
With most of those new ships now coming on line the yards are opening up- there have been virtually no new ship orders this past year. I would not be surprised if Disney announced a new ship in the next 9-12 months.
Early speculation was that Disney would put the new ship in Europe and link it with Euro Disneyland in France. But the West coast of the U.S. also seems like a logical choice.
RCCL moved Viking Serenade out of there without replacing her

Oh, I don't know? If I live long enough, I might see a new Cunard Ocean Liner in 2044, as the QM2 is built to last 40 years?

Interesting point Malcolm. It probably will happen- Cunard is a name that will last forever. But, it may not take 40+ years for an ocean liner other than QM2 to be built. Cunard has an option on a second 150,000 ton ship, though I doubt the market exists for two ships of that size in transat service- if the ship is built, it will probably be a large cruise ship loosely based on QM2 as opposed to a true running mate, but at least the possibility of building two liners is there. The new Disney ship(s) will at least LOOK like liners from the outside, but it is there the similiaraties will end.
