AlmondFarmer Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 (edited) 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 Edited January 5 by AlmondFarmer Saw that it is a survey not allowing suggestions stevendom57, BeachGal, danv3 and 2 others 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK6404 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 I'm pretty sure if Fain was still in charge it would be "Funderstruck of the Seas". Richard liked to troll the competition.

ChrisK2793 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 “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. stevendom57 and RWDW1204 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG Cruiser Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 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. RWDW1204, Kiwili and ChrisK2793 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 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. Kiwili 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 All of the new names have a weird sound at first...but eventually you get used to them. ....except for Spectrum.

Geoff P Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 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.

BeachGal Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Vibrator of the Seas? <<puts glasses on>>. Oh! Vibrance of the Seas... ya, still a no! Some of those names are horrible.

barjpoe Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonCruiser Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 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.
