HoosierCruiser Posted September 13, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2011 From NCL... Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway Selected as Names for Norwegian's New Ships Norwegian Cruise Line has selected the final names for our two new ships: Norwegian Breakaway, Launching in April 2013, and Norwegian Getaway, Launching in 2014. The names were selected as the culmination of our "Norwegian's Cruising for Names" contest that was held in conjunction with USA Today. These names best reflected the innovation of the brand along with the freedom and flexibility of the line's signature Freestyle Cruising and invoked the feeling that these ships will provide a "break" at sea from the stress of everyday life. Breakaway is defined as "a departure or break from routine or tradition" and Getaway is defined as "a place where one escapes for relaxation, vacation, etc." The contest winners are Kimberly Powell of Lafayette, Louisiana, who first submitted Norwegian Breakaway, and Dennis Hultman of Vienna, Virginia, who first submitted Norwegian Getaway. They will both receive a trip for two to the first ship's inaugural festivities, including the Christening Ceremony. The Breakaway class ships will each be 144, 017 gross tons and will have approximately 4,000 passenger berths. These new ships will take the best of the best from all of Norwegian's existing ships drawing on the line's experience of having launched 10 ships in the past 10 years.

Mimeedonna Posted September 13, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Can you imagine that someone actually got paid and stuck their neck out to recommend and approve these names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimeedonna Posted September 13, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Do you think that loyal passengers will breakaway and getaway to another cruise line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickechambers1@aol.com Posted September 13, 2011 #14 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Do you think that loyal passengers will breakaway and getaway to another cruise line? You feel the name of the ship has any deciding factor when it comes to choosing a cruise? It doesn't have any bearing to my decision...surprising if it would to others.

Pokeraddict Posted September 13, 2011 #22 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Really! thats the best they could do. They selected the name breakaway because they are going to break away from tradioion. They are going to allow smoking everywhere including cigars, they are going to allow everyone to bring on booze at no charge so that they don't have to but any more xray machines. They are also going to continue to allow kids to roam free without supervision but instead coral the inconsiderate parents and force them to eat at the kids buffet. They are also going to sell passes for the sole purpose of chair hogging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partyatsea Posted September 13, 2011 #23 Share Posted September 13, 2011 2 thumbs down:rolleyes:, horrible names BUT won't stop us from sailing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1TravelMom Posted September 13, 2011 #24 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I don't care for the names at all. These names have no hint of prestige or luxury. I don't think in conversation these names even convey a sense of being innovative. Example: "Hi Jennifer - do you and your husband want to go on the Breakaway with us?" Sorry to offend - but it just sounds dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted September 13, 2011 #25 Share Posted September 13, 2011 On a creativity scale of 1-10 this ranks about a minus 1. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
