Trickie Dickie Posted January 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I know it's been discussed before already on other threads. But a story in my local newspaper's travel section yesterday about the names that Royal Caribbean had trademarked a couple of months ago got me thinking... and I'm not sure I like them. Anthem of the Seas - a singing ship? Passion of the Seas - no comment! :D Vantage of the Seas - sounds like a credit card Quantum of the Seas - time travel ship? Ovation of the Seas - chococates on the pillows? probably not! Pulse of the Seas - Hate it! :eek: I think we could do better! Here are some of my names! Magnificence of the Seas Elegance of the Seas Grace of the Seas Oracle of the Seas Gem of the Seas Treasure of the Seas - This one is piratey but fun! Ahoy! Glamour of the Seas Temptation of the Seas - giggles - it's no worse than passion! Narcissus of the Seas - Just Kidding! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about: Sunshine of the Seas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted January 27, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2013 'Quantum' can also mean something that can be measured. It can also mean something that is very important. So maybe that's what they were going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted January 27, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I also agree that the trademarked names are awful. However, I wish they would avoid using names that other cruise companies use. Like Gem of the Seas is great, but there is already a NCL Gem. And, I love Sunshine of the Seas, but Carnival just renamed one of their ships Sunshine. Also, I wasn't so keen on Allure or Oasis when those names were first announced, but they did grow on me over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted January 27, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2013 They also need to consider how the names would translate into languages other than English. Lots of examples out there of marketing mistakes where English brand names translate poorly, or even embarassingly (although some are urban legends).

Cruising89143 Posted January 27, 2013 #14 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I have no problems with the names chosen. At least it's something different. I don't like having names that cross cruise lines such Norwegian Jewel, Jewel of the Seas, Carnival Freedom, Freedom of the Seas, etc. you get the picture. At least they're different.
