New Ship Name Revealed tomorrow 18/2/21

[cruisefan2012]

P&O Cruises just announced on facebook that at 10am tomorrow so Thursday 18th February 2021 they will reveal the name of the new ship

 

Any wild guesses?...........

Mahoosiva

AND that it is ‘heading to the sunshine’, finally some more confirmation that Gala 2 will be a sun ship. Please be Dubai 😆

[Castle25]

if Barbados has a LNG depot then it would make sense for it to take over from azura

 

[joeecco]

I reckon the name might be Isla... similar to Iona in being a Scottish island and apparently means ‘bright as sun’... it also means Island in Spanish so if it’s heading to the Caribbean then that may work for them..

I am getting daily emails from P&O - driving me mad.  So just had one about this naming, as if I'm interested!!

They are returning Azura to become a sun ship and Azura’s itinerary’s are 14 nighters. 
 

I reckon it makes more sense to replace Britannia on the 7/14 night trips considering Azura will become a sun ship.

Unsubscribe then 😂😂

What about Luna 

[Dinglebert]

Lindisfarne, for no other reason than Iona chosen for his history than location.

What's a sunship - not heard that expression before.

Not sure that the ME is enough of a family destination to make it worthwhile to base a ship of this size there.

Ship designed purely for sun destinations, so not the Baltic, Iceland etc.

There is two other Excel ships to be homeported there. Dubai and the gulf are becoming increasingly popular with families with the activities and shopping so I think it may well be an option.

"heading to the sunshine"... Interesting

Might not be Dubai if the Sheikh gets his comeuppance.  Nasty man.

I read it will not have enclosed Sky Dome like the Iona, who knows ?

Not quite sure how that would have anything to do with future travel. We could still travel to the US when another ‘nasty man’ was in charge 😂

I think he will be banned from UK and will retaliate.  Also they have the worst infection rate of Covid

Well let’s not jump ahead, else we’ll never look forward to anything 😂

Back to the topic please

 

Remember that all P&O ships end with the letter "A"....

I may be reading too much into the video, but is the final picture of the couple forming the letter A a clue? Mind you the rest of the fleet names end with an A. My money is with joeecco - Isla. The stick the girl on the beach is holding could be the L.

AstraZeneca ?

For some reason that name always reminds me of someone from the 1960s / 1970s - an Isla Sinclair. She did my head in.
