Sailaway487 Posted March 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Time for a poll. What do you think the new ship should be named? I've added some here in the poll. Pick your favourite. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzseeka Posted March 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I've stuck with my original choice - Explorer as that is what a cruise represents to me.......exploring new places, exploring old ones - again to find something different and the excitement of new experiences. I like Bliss too - but as with Dream I feel it sets itself up to 'deliver' something (your dreams, a state of bliss) which opens the door for people to knock the name if it fails to come up to possibly exacting or unreasonable expectations. Note the unfortunate tag the Dream is lumbered with when things go wrong! Am I over thinking? Possibly. :rolleyes: At least Explorer will deliver on that front - Thomson itineraries are varied, imaginative and they do try to offer something new and exciting each year - and as we look to the future, who knows what options they may offer us to explore further afield. She hopes! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeholiday2 Posted March 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have said Splendour. They will keep the name, it will reduce the number of initial sign-age changes. Expect bits of sticky backed plastic covering "of the seas" for the first few cruises...... The crown and anchor will have TUi smile stickers on them too. Where's Geosprout in the poll, Sailaway.... ;);):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campolady Posted March 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Splendour for me too - if it ain't broke don't fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamgirl1957 Posted March 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) So much choice on your list ..... Edited March 8, 2015 by Dreamgirl1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamgirl1957 Posted March 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I think It will be Splendour but from your list I actually like Thomson Serenity . I just think they will stick to Splendour. Whichever they chose it will be nice to try her out at some point. Going with P&O this year so we'll be looking to see what's on offer with Thomson for 2016 :) Edited March 8, 2015 by Dreamgirl1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaway487 Posted March 8, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Judging by the poll, looks like Thomson might not need to put that much effort into the new name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hall4me Posted March 8, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Every time I try to vote it won't let me choose name I thought splendour as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate52 Posted March 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It was a toss up between Splendour and Dawn. Plumped for Dawn as I thought it might be the beginning of a new era for Thomson! Mind you, I was quite happy in the old era kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedeccaman Posted March 9, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 9, 2015 so the sprout of the seas is out:( so will have to go with the flow :rolleyes: Stevie:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy v Posted March 9, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think I probably agree that it most likely will be Splendour. Doesn't seem much point broadcasting an announcement if it is though. I've gone for Serenity, same as last time. I'm a big Joss Whedan fan.;):) I would like a theme if they really are getting a few new(er) ships. I like things ordered instead of a mish mash of unconnected names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted March 9, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I chose Explorer because, like Krukseeka, I am worried that if they choose something like Splendour, Joy, Jubilation and the first cruise is like the first Dream cruise, Watchdog and the newspapers will have a field day with their headlines :rolleyes::rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julessmiles Posted March 9, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I like "Breeze". (Well, I actually like Geosprout but that choice was not there) I think Sensatori would be too ambitious for Thomson - hate to say it but I don't think their Cruises will ever be of the same standard as the Sensatori Hotels.....think that would too ambitious for them.

P&O Lynn Knickers Posted March 9, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) you have me puzzled (I just don't get it!) I voted for the Splendour, its best that they keep part of the name. Noticed that "Breeze" was mentioned, and I remember Ocean breeze from Dolphin cruises. Oh what an ugly looking ship, one of the really old ones, but so so beautiful inside. Fantastic service, really fantastic food. Charming officers too. . Edited March 9, 2015 by P&O Lynn Knickers Lynn loves smiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsshipboy Posted March 11, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Someone else mentioned it would be nice for a theme to the names. I said on another page that musical names would be nice...

Sailaway487 Posted March 12, 2015 Author #23 Share Posted March 12, 2015 We've definitely got a clear winner then! Even though part of me thinks maybe Thomson should change the name to something else entirely to put their own mark on it, I do quite like Thomson Splendour.
