Thanks for sharing!

[Dare2Believe]

Ooh, how fun! Thanks for sharing.

I was able to enter one name but the second time I tried with a different name, the site kept timing out. Oh, well I guess I'll try later. Thanks for the link!

[crusinmama06]

I haven't been able to enter even one...:(

The statement has been terminated

[collectingcoke]

thanks, that is cool.

[Clay65]

thank you for the link ! !

[pcreek]

I was also unable to submit entries...didn't like the 'verification' part.

Maybe too many folks are trying to submit at the same time.

 

 

Thanks for posting, tho! I'll try again at a later time.

[Single Cruiser]

Only for US and Canadians :(

 

I think they should be named as twins like:

 

Free & Style

Sunrise & Sunset

Waves & Tide

Air & Wind

 

Or maybe after the departing shuttles

 

Atlantis & Discovery

 

Something modern and representing the freestyle but avoiding RCI one like Freedom and Liberty...

 

Explorer and Discovery would go together..

 

Heart and Soul?

 

Lol...

[crew mom]

In keeping with Single Cruiser's theme I like "This One" and "That One"

 

I'm not eligible to submit names to the contest. Hoping someone from CC wins!

I don't think you are correct on the winner's prize...

 

 

According to the USA Today article:

 

Norwegian's Cruising for Names contest, as it's being called, runs from today through Aug. 14 and the winners will receive a trip for two to the first ship's inaugural festivities.

 

 

I believe that the winner will receive tickets for two to attend the inaugural festivities, NOT tickets for two on the inaugural cruise.

Thanks for the article.

Read further down in the article Sharky:

 

The contest winners, to be announced in September, will receive a trip for two to the first ship's inaugural festivities, including the Christening Ceremony (date and location yet to be determined). The trip includes round-trip coach airfare for two, ground transportation, balcony cabin accommodations (double occupancy), on-board meals and all government taxes and fees.

The contest is only open to residents of the United States and Canada (excluding Quebec) 18 years of age and older. More information on how to enter and the official rules and details on the prizes is at cruisingfornames.usatoday.com

 

they were correct

[SeaShark]

Still have to disagree....Inaugural Festivities and Christening Ceremony does not mean a cruise. These events take place while the ship is docked...not underway. The EPIC was docked in NY for a couple of days for her Inaugural Festivities and Christening Ceremony.

 

 

I see nothing indicating that you will be onboard for the inaugural cruise...which takes place BEFORE the ceremonies mentioned above.

[Medtech2]

This should be renamed " today's frustrating exercise in futility"

Unable to enter at all. Keeps timing out...

I agree - one success in 10 attempts. I have moved on - probably wouldn't have won anyway:(

Okay, so it may or may not be the "inaugural" cruise but they get a free cruise on a brand new ship!! That's cool.

That could mean, something like I did on Freedom of the Seas before it's inaugeral cruise. I did a one-nighter out of NYC when it was there for several days. That ship did (I think) 2 one-nighters and 1 one-nighter before heading to Florida and it's inaugeral cruise.

Just a thought.:rolleyes:

[justrache]

It says contest open to Canadians, but there are no Canadian address options.....cannot enter province/postal code....

I think they did the same thing with the Epic and the Carnival Dream. A one nighter by invitation only.

Thank you for the update on the temporary glitch. I'll wait until later in the day to send my ideas.

[themaxydog]

Since it is not open to those of us in other parts of the world I will pass on my idea to anyone who wants it..

 

What about "Ocean Class"

"Norwegian Pacific" and "Norwegian Atlantic"

 

Just a thought...................:cool:
