I saw it as Breaking News on CNBC about 5 minutes ago. Each ship is supposed to have 1,250 staterooms. They didn't say anything about itineraries yet.

The company signed a letter of intent with Meyer Werft shipyard, based in Papenburg, Germany, to negotiate a contract to build the 122,000-ton new cruise liners, which will be two decks taller than the existing 83,000-ton ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder. Each ship will have 1,250 staterooms. Specific design plans and itineraries for the yet-unnamed ships are still in development and will be unveiled at a later date.

I think it's GREAT that they are sticking with the same design. I think that is one of the reasons that makes Disney so special!!

Looks like the west coast will be getting a ship!
