icat2000 Posted October 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hmmm. Not Revenue Princess :D I thought I had read it was going to be called Sky Princess some months back. But Majestic Princess does fit in with the other two names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone already mentioned, I too had heard the rumors of the Sky Princess name here on CC, but do think that the Majestic Princess is a better name. Happy Cruising!!!

Daisyloo Posted October 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The name fits in with the Royal and Regal. Good choice. Does the fact that it is purpose built for the Asian market, and home ported there, mean we won't see her over here at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JimmyVWine Posted October 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Does the fact that it is purpose built for the Asian market, and home ported there, mean we won't see her over here at all? Never say never, because re-fits are always an option (the way Diamond was transformed). But during the time that it sails as a purpose-built ship for the Chinese market, it is hard to imagine that it would gain any traction as an option for Caribbean or European itineraries.

InTheWASide Posted October 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not bad and fits with the others but I personally think for a Chinese-centric ship that "Imperial Princess" would have been a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawtooth Posted October 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not bad and fits with the others but I personally think for a Chinese-centric ship that "Imperial Princess" would have been a little better. Imperial Princess! I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial Princess!I like it! I'm thinking Imperial Princess would have especially bad connotations in China because of "Imperial Japan" in WWII.

bdjam Posted November 3, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Seriously? Majestic Princess? Sounds like a rotund middle aged woman. Sometimes Princess amazes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdjam Posted November 3, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I believe it was a chosen name that Asian cruises polled picked. The article indicates the name was chosen by Princess' "global" employees. I doubt, however, that the employees simply submitted random names - there must have been a list. Since they are designing for the Chinese market, they could have named it something that represents China or the Chinese culture. She won't be in my backyard, but as I say...sometimes I wonder about Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will also carry a Chinese name on the hull selected by Carnival China employees "Sheng Shi Gong Zhu Hao" which translates approximately to "Grand World" or "Grand Spirit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
