Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
三菱重工業は3日,世界最大のクルーズ客船会社「カーニバル・コーポレーション&plc」から、12万5000総トンの世界最大級の大型客船(3250人乗り)2隻の受注を内定したと発表した
同社の大型客船受注は12年ぶりで、同社が建造する客船としては過去最大となる。納期は2015年3月と16年3月の予定。受注額は非公表。
カーニバル社傘下のアイーダ・クルーズ向けに、長崎造船所(長崎市)で建造する。三菱重工が最後に大型客船の受注を内定したのは、1999年6月。カーニバル社から、11万6000総トンの大型客船2隻を受注したが、2002年に建造中の「ダイヤモンド・プリンセス」が火災を起こして以来、注文が途絶えていた。

On the 3rd Mitsubishi Heavy Industries announced that an order was received informally from the world's largest cruise company the "Carnival Corporation & Plc." for two liners with the tonnage that belonged to the world's largest class of 125,000 gross tons (accommodating 3250 people). Among the boats built, it became the biggest passenger boats this company would built after an interval of 12 years. Delivery date was scheduled to be between March 2015 and March 2016. The order amount was not made public.
Nagasaki shipyard (Nagasaki City) had been building for the Aida Cruise, a subsidiary of Carnival Company. The last time for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to receive informal order for the liner was in June 1999. Although it had received an order for two large passenger boats of 116,000 gross tons class from the Carnival Company, after a fire had occurred in the "Diamond Princess" built in 2002, orders came to a stop.
Obviously, the ship building industry morale in Japan would be boosted by the order.
