Is it just me? yes? I dont like the name "Breakaway" or "Getaway" = very tacky -

Breakaway makes me think of a chocolate biscuit (only Brits will understand that one)

Getaway - it just lacks everything - lustre, shine - everything that represents a fun freestyle cruise ship..

Sweptaway (Couples resorts already have this one)

Hideaway - why?

Sailaway?

 

BideAwa' (now yer talkin;))

 

Seriously, why did NCL name these amazing ships with such crass names??

To go from great names such as "Epic" to "Breakaway" ?? Why?

I dont get it:confused:

I guess :rolleyes:

 

Just cant help but think of great names which have come out in recent years - Celebrity Eclipse, or Reflection and thought NCL hammered both with Epic - what a shame they followed it with "Breakaway" :eek:

Even makes Carnival's (very original:p) "Sunshine" seem somehow better..

 

And then - to add salt to the wound - they follow THAT with "Getaway"

 

Honestly - what is NCL's marketing dept thinking about.....

I just dont get where they are going with these names -:(

How about the DREAMAWAY! or the RUNAWAY! or the GONNABEAWAY! or UPNAWAY or the FLYAWAY or ANCHORSAWAY 0r the SNEAKAWAY

 

Make it an unsupervised, kid friendly ship and call it the GoAway (as in what they parents will say to their kids)! :D

I LOVE NCL...however, the new ship names and the ugly hull art are not great.

Just sayin'

I know what you mean - they just dont do themselves justice - think the names and now you mention it - the hull art - "cheapens" them..

Epic, Gem, Spirit all great names -

I guess they know what works for them - who am I to say, must work somehow for them - who knows....
