Yes, I did. I took them with a grain of salt. This thread is pure speculation, anyway, so I chose to speculate. I think that the hard evidence of the scheme by which NCL has chosen to name their first two ships in this series trumps any "throw it against a wall and see what sticks" list of possible names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the actual registered WordMarks are "pure speculation", nor am I sure how it becomes "throw it against a wall and see what sticks". Fact is that the names have been registered. Seems as though you are sailing onboard the Norwegian Denial. I'll let you stylize the "i". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, these are now the leading contenders for the 6 ship names in the class: - Prima (registered) - Viva (pending registration, though obviously in use) - Bella (pending registration) - Aqua (pending registration) - Luna (pending registration) - Ultima (pending registration) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cruise Next director just now mentioned that Aqua has been announced as the name of the next ship. Following that will be the Bella. I’m not sure how NCL intends to substitute special characters for alphabetical ones as they did with Pr1ma and V!va. Anyone want to speculate? Maybe @qu@ and 3ella? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possible that they will just not bother. As far as I know those characters were used in very few places, so I doubt it would be any great loss or surprise to not have them on the future ships. If they do use something, maybe it could be the second 'A' in Aqua stylized as a water droplet. I don't see any standard alphanumeric character that really works like the '1' and '!' do for Prima and Viva. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am122509 Posted December 27, 2023 #39 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Norwegian already confirmed Aqua was going to be the third Prima class when posting this, so here’s what my predictions are for Prima 4, 5, and 6.

Excel doesn't fit, as all the other names (or potential names) in the class end in "A". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
