Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway

Selected as Names for Norwegian's New Ships

 

Norwegian Cruise Line has selected the final names for our two new ships: Norwegian Breakaway, Launching in April 2013, and Norwegian Getaway, Launching in 2014. The names were selected as the culmination of our "Norwegian's Cruising for Names" contest that was held in conjunction with USA Today.

 

These names best reflected the innovation of the brand along with the freedom and flexibility of the line's signature Freestyle Cruising and invoked the feeling that these ships will provide a "break" at sea from the stress of everyday life.

 

Breakaway is defined as "a departure or break from routine or tradition" and Getaway is defined as "a place where one escapes for relaxation, vacation, etc."

 

The contest winners are Kimberly Powell of Lafayette, Louisiana, who first submitted Norwegian Breakaway, and Dennis Hultman of Vienna, Virginia, who first submitted Norwegian Getaway. They will both receive a trip for two to the first ship's inaugural festivities, including the Christening Ceremony.

 

The Breakaway class ships will each be 144, 017 gross tons and will have approximately 4,000 passenger berths. These new ships will take the best of the best from all of Norwegian's existing ships drawing on the line's experience of having launched 10 ships in the past 10 years.

I think they are fine. I don't care what they are called, as long as I am on one!

[LoST57]

Not a huge fan of the names, but its the ship that counts. I'm sure they will be great.

[Havin'fun]

Congrats to the winners - but these names do nothing to inspire me

[RYMOMA]

happy for the winners

but not too happy abut the names...

[RYMOMA]

it is a mouthful, the shorter names roll of the tongue better

[crusinmama06]

Ick :(

[rickechambers1@aol.com]

At least its not celestial or compass directional...

[sparks1093]

As long as they didn't use Titanic:rolleyes:

[Mimeedonna]

Can you imagine that someone actually got paid and stuck their neck out to recommend and approve these names?

[Mimeedonna]

Do you think that loyal passengers will breakaway and getaway to another cruise line?

[rickechambers1@aol.com]

Do you think that loyal passengers will breakaway and getaway to another cruise line?

 

You feel the name of the ship has any deciding factor when it comes to choosing a cruise? It doesn't have any bearing to my decision...surprising if it would to others.

[RYMOMA]

Do you think that loyal passengers will breakaway and getaway to another cruise line?

 

no

but in my mind,

i will call the breakaway...Bliss

and the getaway...Escape as said by Dory in ' Finding Nemo'

[pcreek]

Lame Names. :cool:

 

Like they didn't already decide to do Breakaway.... <eyeroll>

[mpk218]

I hope to God thats a joke :eek:

 

Those are not names there VERBS ..

 

NCL ?????????

[notmyccname]

No offense to anyone, but

 

worst.names.ever.

[russianmom]

I'm not exactly in love with either of these names:(

[collectingcoke]

Seriously, how imaginative. Any how big of them the winners get to go to the Chrisitening - not a cruise - really ??

[mpk218]

This is why Drinking is rarely if ever allowed on the Job.

[Pokeraddict]

Really! thats the best they could do.

 

They selected the name breakaway because they are going to break away from tradioion.

They are going to allow smoking everywhere including cigars, they are going to allow everyone to bring on booze at no charge so that they don't have to but any more xray machines.

They are also going to continue to allow kids to roam free without supervision but instead coral the inconsiderate parents and force them to eat at the kids buffet.

 

They are also going to sell passes for the sole purpose of chair hogging.

2 thumbs down:rolleyes:, horrible names

 

BUT won't stop us from sailing them.

[#1TravelMom]

I don't care for the names at all. These names have no hint of prestige or luxury. I don't think in conversation these names even convey a sense of being innovative. Example: "Hi Jennifer - do you and your husband want to go on the Breakaway with us?" Sorry to offend - but it just sounds dumb.

On a creativity scale of 1-10 this ranks about a minus 1. :rolleyes:
