Oasis Six - Naming Survey

Crowd sourcing a name can backfire.

“Boaty McBoatface of the Seas”  anyone? 
 

I don’t see a disclaimer at the bottom where Royal Caribbean reserves the right to reject all suggestions. 
 

oops no spot to make suggestion, bummer

Sadly I could not submit - Hochberg of the Seas

[JohnK6404]

I may be a little boring, but I like "Melody", "Illumination" and "Aria" the most... Fantasia sounds like Disney.

If they did not already have "Serenade", I would have liked "Serenity of the Seas", but I guess that would sound too much alike.

 

[twangster]

I'm pretty sure if Fain was still in charge it would be "Funderstruck of the Seas".  Richard liked to troll the competition.  

[Jill]

I like Melody

[ChrisK2793]

“HAVEN” sounds like they’re copying off Norwegian since most of their new ships have “The Haven” as their suite area.  I hate that one the most ……. Even besides the copying …… “Haven of the Seas” just sounds terrible.

After Harmony and Symphony, I felt like Royal was going for a musical theme with the Oasis Class.  So Melody and Aria would fit nicely into this theme.

How about "Big Boaty McBoatface" ?

[smokeybandit]

To keep somewhat of a theme with the other Oasis class ships, Melody is my pick.

 

Some of those conflict with other lines' ship names.

... like Wonder of the Seas and Disney Wonder... I guess it's hard not to repeat. Everything sounds better with "of the Seas" attached!

Seabourn Odyssey.  

Then there is the recently renamed Carnival Radiance.  

The industry does like to copy each other.

No write-ins ?

All of the new names have a weird sound at first...but eventually you get used to them.   ....except for Spectrum.  That was the WORST and it still sounds like a deadly disease or a dastardly villain.

[Geoff P]

I don’t know, most of the names on that list are pretty bad…My guess would be like most are saying and it will be either Melody or Aria of the seas.  

[PG Cruiser]

I like Aria of the Seas or better yet, Arya of the Seas.  The destination is west of Westeros!

[twangster]

Magnififence.  Ugh.  I can't even type it once without spelling it wrong.

Magnificence.  Thank goodness for spell check, but I'd be spelling that wrong every time.  Indy is hard enough.  Maggy just doesn't sound right.

P&O new ship is ARVIA - dont want to get confused........

[PG Cruiser]

Royal should add a new name to the mix:

Corona of the Seas

Also can generate concern when telling someone you are “on the spectrum”

No one would book a cruise... LOL! Similar to the sales hit Corona beer allegedly took at first!  

 

[FionaMG]

I like Melody and Aria too.

[smokeybandit]

I don't like Aria because there's an entire cruise line called Aria

 

Yes, I know, I'm a stickler for some semblance of originality.

[BeachGal]

Vibrator of the Seas?  <<puts glasses on>>. Oh! Vibrance of the Seas... ya, still a no!  Some of those names are horrible.  I think the best of the bunch is Melody

[RWDW1204]

No to Paradise of the Seas. The abbreviation PoS, that's just not right.

I like Concerto of the Seas. Or Sonata of the Seas. Those are my suggestions (that they didn't ask me for).

[Baked Alaska]

Or, Chicken of the Sea.

[shinebox]

Symptoms of the Sea

[barjpoe]

I think something that would be similar to Wonder would work.  You have Oasis & Allure not sure of the connection. Then Symphony & Harmony - connection music.

So Wonder & ?? - connection awe inspiring

If we're going with that, then Magfinificence... argh ... Magnificence would be a good bet

[Baked Alaska]

Or, Mirage of the Seas. 

Or, Beauty of the Seas.

For the sake of curiosity, I put "Wonder" into a thesaurus website. Some of the results would NOT be good for a ship name!

Marvel of the Seas!!! ha ha

 

[CrimsonCruiser]

I like Aria & Illumination for Oasis class names.

Euphoria, Nirvana, Utopia, Sanctuary are good names for another family of ships not yet in existence but they sound too relaxing for ships as jam packed as Oasis class.

Intrigue sounds like a good name for another Quantum class.

Vibrance and Melody for some reason strike me as good Radiance class names.

Apparently Boaty McBoatface is already taken
