According to Robin Farley, of UBS Investment Research, the ships will most likely be for Carnival brands Princess Cruises and Costa Cruises. USA Today reports that the analyst, in a note to investors, predicted each of the vessels would have a capacity of approximately 3,600 passengers. Most recently, Princess has revealed its Regal Princess in Europe, which has a capacity of 3,560, while Costa Diadema, due in November, will be able to carry 3,724 passengers.
