I think DCL isn't going to announce the new ship in tandem with the new Pirates movie since they are already announcing the return of West Coast cruises in '08 at next week's media event. Now, depending on construction time etc ... I could see Disney premiering the fourth Pirates film from Long Beach on the inaugural sailing of the third ship.

Who knows if it'll happen, but imagine how kewl it would be ... and the synergistic opps!
