RestingBird Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Spectrum of the Seas. Any thoughts? It's not the worst name I've heard. I'm guessing they'll stick with it considering this is the second filing of the name. J_Keeble and EddieTheCruiser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Don't hate it, but not my favorite either. As @Jerel pointed out the other day, these names tend to grow on you over time. RestingBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLA Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I actually pretty strongly dislike it, due to the automatic association with a cable and internet company. I could see this very quickly turning in to, "THIRD AND FOURTH GUESTS SAIL FREE WHEN YOU SWITCH TO SPECTRUM!".

Personally, I think the next Oasis Class ship should be something along the lines of Melody of the Seas (to go with Symphony & Harmony) I was also thinking this would be the name of a Quantum class (or maybe "Quantum Plus"?). Quantum and Spectrum, though, are both pretty scientific names. I certainly love it, being a science nerd and all, but doesn't really have the greatest marketing ring to it. Maybe "spectrum" here in the sense of you get the fullest breadth of service and entertainment available anywhere? Almost literally, "Taste the rainbow"? ?

FManke Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 How much does a name really mean to most people? Has anybody here ever refused to cruise on a specific ship because they didn't like the name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I for one would run like hell, turn off my computer cash in my OB credit and burn my RC credit card if they ever come out with a name similar or even remotely similar to "Titanic" or "Costa Concordia"!

RestingBird Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 So after I asked about what you all think of Spectrum, I read the article about Apex, and Joy of the Seas. I don't care for either of those, but will I still cruise on them? You bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old cable company got bought out by them too, and for all the old company's flaws, I miss them compared to Spectrum. NEW SPECIALTY DINING DEAL --- ONLY $29.95/each when bundled!

That's a name that definitively fits if being marketed exclusively through the RC website! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
