Rare shof515 Posted April 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 6, 2017 it is called that due to the design being similar to the MSC ships. MSC company is based in Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esm54687 Posted April 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Pretty straight forward.... his parents named him Leonardo.... it would be Project Ralph if his parents named him Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Bruiser Posted April 6, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Here's a non-sarcastic answer: It's likely the name of the the first ship in the series. Remember Project Breakaway? Have you pondered Celebrity's Edge Project? I speculated earlier that NCL might be moving a way from its "Norwegian ______" naming convention and going back to an era when NCL ships had simpler names like Seaward and Crown. And if that's the case, we can expect the other 3-5 ships in the Leonardo class to also feature the names of Renaissance artists. This would make me very happy because manyof the Norwegain ______" ship names don't make any sense. Are there pearls or jade or breakaways in Norway?

London-Calling Posted June 24, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted June 24, 2017 WHY does it matter? WHY do we need to know? WHY, WHY, WHY????:rolleyes: Well most ship projects are obviously named by the marketing department to sound new and impressive: Celebrity Edge, Project Genesis, The World Class, The Global Class etc. But why a person's name - Leonardo? Who on earth is Leonardo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeesaB Posted June 24, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I assumed it was after da Vinci, and they were trying to say they were groundbreaking in their ship design. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff79 Posted June 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2017 i hope they paint the ninja turtle with the same name on the bow as the new mascot. 4 Turtles, 4 ship names and maybe splinter and april, that would be great. the ncl version of the msc seaside was a bad name, so they need one.
