mimikens Posted May 24, 2008 #26 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I would have preferred "Genesis of the Seas". I agree 100%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanTex Posted May 24, 2008 #27 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Allure of the Seas? I keep thinking "Fishing Lure of the Seas" when I hear it. Oasis? On the seas? Maybe in a desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webgal318 Posted May 26, 2008 #28 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I voted that I am indifferent but I don't really like either name. I agree that "Oasis" sounds too desert-like although a synonym for oasis is refuge, sanctuary, retreat so yeah, it makes sense. I don't like "Allure" of the Seas at all. It sounds cheesy. In any case, I live only a couple of hours away from Port Everglades and I am thrilled that Oasis will be home ported so close to home. I will be glad when I know when she will be actually begin sailing Sylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbryce Posted May 26, 2008 #29 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I am indifferent to them. The names sound different right now but I am sure they will grow on me. Cant wait to put up Oasis of the Seas countdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted May 26, 2008 #30 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Of all the words in the English language, I can't believe that Oasis and Allure are the best choice to name these ships. I'm very disappointed in all the names that were under final consideration. I voted "Hate them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megr1125 Posted May 26, 2008 #31 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hate them......but i wouldn't rule out sailing on them...... behemoth and leviathan of the seas! works for me! (i still like Chicken of the Seas-if Jessica Simpson is Godmother!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ula Posted May 26, 2008 #32 Share Posted May 26, 2008 When I read the first ship would be called the Oasis, the song Midnight at the Oasis played in my mind. I really hate that song. Fred Willard did a good cover of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybabes Posted May 26, 2008 #33 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Voted indifferent to the name...We don't book a cruise because of the name of the ship...Can't wait til the bookings open....Later, Jill:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astralj Posted June 15, 2008 #34 Share Posted June 15, 2008 *humming to myself.... "Call her irresistable"....and wondering if Jessica Simpson shows up in one of the future tv ads :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea-cruise Posted June 15, 2008 #35 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'm obviously not voting being the poll has closed. Allure sounds like a fishing lure (shaped like a ship of course),:confused: and Oasis reminds me of an Arabian desert. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realtreebar Posted June 15, 2008 #36 Share Posted June 15, 2008 does it really matter what the name is? Rccl naming contest was a set up any way!!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbiegator Posted June 16, 2008 #37 Share Posted June 16, 2008 You forgot my choice..."Just open the darn booking already :rolleyes:" I don't care if they call it chicken of the sea, I just want to start making some solid plans. :D Me too!! Can't wait to sail on the big ships!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzLA Posted June 16, 2008 #38 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I voted "hate them" but that is really just too strong. I just think they sound awful....espectially Allure OTS :( Plus, when I think of Oasis - I think dessert and not water or seas :confused: Dessert? As in Key Lime Pie? That would be a fun ship! Dessert of the Seas. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted June 16, 2008 Author #39 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Dessert? As in Key Lime Pie? That would be a fun ship! Dessert of the Seas. :D I'm with you, Fitz. How about éclair of the seas? Baked Alaska of the Seas? (it would sail to Alaska, obviously ;)) Soufflé of the Seas? Actually, I rather like that one...... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowbird1 Posted June 16, 2008 #42 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Like many others, I think they could have found a better name than Oasis but it really doesn't matter as long as the ship is nice and I am sure it will be. I really thought the Genesis name would have been good for the first one but that is why someone else gets the big bucks to make these decisions. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
