Why is Project Leonardo...

[London-Calling]

....called 'Leonardo'?

 

Anyone know?

[Son of a son of a ...]

Because "Overbuilt Cruise Ship" was already taken by Royal.

WHY does it matter? WHY do we need to know? WHY, WHY, WHY????:rolleyes:

Italian design, Italian built, and he's the leader of Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[shof515]

it is called that due to the design being similar to the MSC ships. MSC company is based in Italy

Pretty straight forward.... his parents named him Leonardo.... it would be Project Ralph if his parents named him Ralph

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?

But if you put it that way, what does Leonardo have to do with Norway? :evilsmile:

Why start a new thread to ask this question? Why not ask it in the thread already discussing Project Leonardo?

Thank goodness they're moving away from complex names like Joy, and Bliss.... Leonardo is much easier to remember.

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?

[LeesaB]

I assumed it was after da Vinci, and they were trying to say they were groundbreaking in their ship design.

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.

Cruise Critic has moderators, and they enforce the rules. I don't think you are one. Why clog up a thread with a self-appointed moderator-type post that has nothing to do with the question the OP asked?

Curious, but isn't that exactly what you just did? And what I might be considered to be doing, presently?
