We reported on Wednesday that a newspaper in Finland claims Royal Caribbean was getting ready to order a third Oasis-class cruise ship from STX Finland's Turku Shipyard.
Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez responded to the report by saying, "It's a rumor. We don't comment on rumors."
Martinez also added to a request by USA Today, "As we have done in the past, if/when we have something to announce, we will do so through an official company press release."
The rumored ship order stipulates that Royal Caribbean is looking for financial assistance from the Finnish government to help pay for the ship order.
If the rumor proves to be true, the third ship would be sister to Oasis and Allure of the Seas. It would also be the third ship Royal Caribbean currently has on order, with two other smaller ships known as "Project Sunshine" under construction in Germany.
