I wonder if that large company has donated towards the build🤔 Could explain the name.

Yes, I had a work colleague a few years ago who went to work for them, based in Cheshire I think. After all the hype a bit of a let down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Disney and Carnival both have magic and fantasy ship names and NCL have sky/sun and so do princess. I don't think that would matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril I wonder if that is the case. Often done elsewhere and it is not that cruise companies will be keen to get a bit extra cash in these times - or perhaps cheaper installation of their water treatment units - if that is how it works.

Captain_Morgan Posted February 18, 2021 #160 Share Posted February 18, 2021 can't help but think there is a tie-in to the size being similar to that of a floating RV (recreational vehicle) and as such RV-ahh makes more sense.....and Winnebago doesn't role off the tongue well either 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tring Posted February 18, 2021 #163 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Have others seen the new thread on St Petersburg cancellations. It seems all overnight calls to all ports have been disappearing, not just SPB according to other posts added to that thread. Hidden news perhaps as P&O want everyone to be focusing on the name of their new ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted February 18, 2021 #164 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Well over an hour later and I still can't remember the name. I have to remember Ave Maria to remind remind of the name ...Arvia Maria. Sad that I am .... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuroraF10 Posted February 18, 2021 #167 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Nope, me don't like the name. P&O have lost sight of their history and heritage, I think. Name should have been one of the previous P&O grand liner cruise ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times you just need to go with the flow (pun intended). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
