westerdam Posted February 18, 2021 #101 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I will throw my hat into the ring and go with Iberia. The Sea Princess was supposed to take that name but instead became the Victoria. Iberia makes me personally think of the sunshine in Spain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Fantasia is already on the seas, owned by MSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Joking) Totally agree! I’m going with Oceana - everyone we spoke to on my last Britannia cruise raved about her. We were due to sail on her last July but as with so many cruises it was cancelled so we didn’t get the opportunity to experience her - such a shame! So to sail on a ‘New Oceana’ would be amazing - and yes I know it’s not a smaller ship but at least the name will carry one and so will everyone’s memories 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted February 18, 2021 #107 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Not concerned about the new ship myself. December 2022 is an age away and I decided before the pandemic that fly cruises were off the menu for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Sea Princess when she was called Adonia with P&O in May 2004 then when she was called Sea Princess with Princess in May 2006.

Every time the power came back on the phone chirruped on it charging cradle, I suppose I ought to have taken it off, but just couldn't be bothered.
