Name the new P&O Australia ships....

[NSWP]

Don't know if it can be used as it was the name of a famous racing yacht, but I do like "Brindabella". :confused:

 

It has a certain female tone, fitting in with ships being female.

 

A downer is the meaning: "two kangaroo rats".:eek:

As long as the ships don't end up broke and grounded like Brindabella Airlines.

How about Bruce and Sheila ?:D

Abbott and Costello

 

We all need a laugh ....

 

Robert James Lee Hawke and John Winston Howard

 

 

Even more of a laugh

 

 

I would suggest that P & O return to their roots and use the names of their famous ships that were used on the Australian service , and dump the pacific prefix its more than tainted.

 

Just my thoughts

hi ,

 

Pacific blue and Pacific splendor

[bobhsv]

How about Australasia 1 and Australasia 2. Covers the regions P&O Oz sail.

[sun-set]

Perhaps Southern Cross,:) it was used by Shaw Savill Lines until 1971.

[madelk]

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dam:rolleyes:

^^ gets my votes!

 

Or on a serious note

Pacific Ryder/Rider/Waverider

Pacific Statement

[MMDown Under]

Perhaps Southern Cross,:) it was used by Shaw Savill Lines until 1971.

 

That is a grand name, given the original Southern Cross's history, with meaning to both Aussies and Kiwis.

[BuzzBuzzen]

Pacific Bingo

The Downunder and the Downunder Again:p

[Cassicruiser]

Pacific Dam Old & Pacific Dam Older

LOL!

Sending the old down to Aus yet again, to be marketed as 'new' ships.

hi ,

 

Pacific blue and Pacific splendor

 

The first would suggest Virgin [group] have expanded into ships.

[Royalty X]

The first would suggest Virgin [group] have expanded into ships.

They are actually expanding into ships. Branson announced Virgin Cruise Line a few months ago.

If the price and the itinerary is right I am willing to stop being a Virgin cruise virgin.:p

Hi Folks

 

If we think a little the HAL twins can transform in Australia to ..

 

Pepsi and Coke and be repainted to suit.

 

Oh dear I think its time to take my medication and have a good lie down

 

 

Two nice ships , getting a little long in the tooth perhaps I hope that P&O dont ruin them

 

 

Regards

[awesome girl]

How about Gin and Tonic oh no that's too British :D

Maybe Bundi and coke?:confused:

LOL, I like the Bundi and coke idea, don't think they will do it though as it may attract the wrong crowd.:D

[madelk]

...Maybe Bundi and coke?:confused:

 

Nope, that won't do - wouldn't want to give the impression that Aussies drink alcohol on a cruise! :rolleyes: Could use "Hoot" and "Holler" instead?! :D

 

If the old batch ships had an atmosphere theme (Star, Sky, Sun, Dawn) and now they've moved on to a gemstone-ish theme (Jewel and Pearl), assuming they continue with that until there's 4 in that series, then I'd suggest Ruby and Sapphire.

Or Coal and Uranium:p

Hi Folks

 

Ok enough jest here is a sensible suggestion for names for these "New" ships

 

Keeping in mind the I and others I am sure consider that the "Pacific" suffix is tainted and needs to be dropped.

 

 

Also keeping in mind the nice names used by P&O for its UK based ships

 

 

1 Andromeda

 

2 Antares

 

 

In Keeping with the tradition of Arcadia , Oriana and the suchlike

 

A nice couplet for two ships which are sisters...

 

Regards

John

 

PS I must confess that I dislike the "Branding" of ships names
