Rare Familygoboston Posted March 18, 2014 #76 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I'm partial to themes within the class-either in meaning like freedom, liberty and Independence or "shiney" things like Radiance class or by "sound". So in the case of Anthem and Quantum I want a name that ends with "M". The latest Oasis class needs a vowel at the beginning and it needs to express the uniquely large and comprehensive quality of these ships- they are like an oasis and alluring! As for the actual names- maybe Atrium for Quantum class or Essence for oasis class. I'll leave that to the marketing gurus, but that's what would "sound" right to me!

Nado44 Posted March 18, 2014 #78 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I like Spectrum of the Seas too... Other possibilities could be: Blossom of the Seas Kingdom of the Seas Wisdom of the Seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2Mich Posted March 19, 2014 #81 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I agree. However, I think Allure is more punchy than Oasis. What was the Vision class called when the Vision didn't debut yet? Why did they name the class after the last one? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Actually the Vision class is not truly one class of ships. It is 3 different pairs of twins built at two different shipyards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisnseas Posted March 19, 2014 #85 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hmmm...Ovation sounds way too much like Oasis to me. I love the build up to releasing new names - its always so exciting. I really like Anthem but Quantum just falls flat for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisnseas Posted March 19, 2014 #87 Share Posted March 19, 2014 How about Spectrum of the Seas for Q3? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk I like it, but I read it is speculum ... which would be less ideal :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseclues Posted March 19, 2014 #89 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I would have liked "Song of the Seas", but I think that's going to be the title of a movie soon. It would have fit as a follow up for Anthem. Maybe "Siren of the Seas" It nautical, but not much like the names of these two ship classes. RCCL did have the Song of America which we sailed on (2/2/1986)...before all ships became of the Seas. Perhaps the next Oasis Class should be the Colossus of the Seas :):):):) Edited March 19, 2014 by cruiseclues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseclues Posted March 19, 2014 #90 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Wikipedia is not a reliable source for information as anyone can change the contents. I won a nice little bet here for charity a few years back concerning the drinking age in Puerto Rico... :) ;) . It tends to be somewhat reliable even though occasionally wrong...at least in comparison to a large number of sites on the internet...it might be higher in reliability...and it may sometimes continue to change when errors are discovered. :):):):) Edited March 19, 2014 by cruiseclues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
