GoProCruiser Posted October 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Well this is cool! Who has a name idea? I wonder if they'll let the public pick the name or they'll pick from the public's ideas!

InTheWASide Posted October 27, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I think the name has already been decided. Go to the P&O Website. Here is the link for the new ship: http://www.pocruises.com/cruise-ships/gala/ I know CC truncates the website so I'll spell it out to cover what the whole thing is: www . pocruises . com / cruise-ships / gala That might not mean much and I'm sure the folks outside of the US may have different websites and may not even be able to view my link. HOWEVER... The same website with arcadia at the end instead of gala goes to Arcadia's page Put britannia at the end in place of gala and it goes to Britannia's page... I know the longstanding rule with P&O has been that names end with a or ia. Gala does. So my gut says that may be the name and they screwed up by putting it in the web address.

I hope you are wrong though..that is a terrible name. I was thinking meamoana sort of needs a question mark after it.... probably wouldn't consider the ship anyway so I will continue with my size ship..

Good piece of work, but I would think that Gala is the project name and not the final name of the ship. It's quite common for major projects to have a working title, in the same way that things such as books do whilst they are being written. It becomes short hand to make life easier for staff discussing the project. I may well be proved wrong, but if not Gala would be a truly rubbish name. Yes it ends with 'a', but it conjours up none of the glamour and romance that most of the current ship names do. Mind you, given the market that P&O has to attract now in order to fill the vast capacity, it may fit the bill perfectly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick internet search on meanings gives the following, and Gala seems to tick a lot of boxes for a cruise holiday:- Azura - Sky Blue Ventura - Good Fortune Britannia - All things British Arcadia - Pastoral Paradise Gala - Special occasion with lots of entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capnahab Posted October 29, 2016 #24 Share Posted October 29, 2016 A little more on the potential name, if you hover with your mouse on the new ship image from the posted link, a text box pops up with guess what......Gala! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
