Lsimon Posted December 6, 2014 #26 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I haven't investigated as to whether the names have been given to ships on other lines already, but I like Meridian and Horizon. Both used before on ships no longer in the fleet. I kind of like the idea of recycling old names. I think other lines have been doing that.

Kitekat Posted December 6, 2014 #28 Share Posted December 6, 2014 How about Excelsior and Excalibur, both names suggested by my DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaFeFan Posted December 6, 2014 #29 Share Posted December 6, 2014 It seems like most of the Celebrity ship names have been about time or space. Combing the space concept along with their trend towards more and more extra cost items to spend money on board perhaps they could call one of the new ships the "black hole" And the other the "Worm Hole"?

Wayneair Posted December 7, 2014 Author #30 Share Posted December 7, 2014 If the first ship in the Millennium Class was the Millennium and the first ship in the Solstice Class was the Solstice, maybe Project Edge will become the new Edge Class. That will make for some fun conversations in port when you tell someone "I'm on the Edge..." I agree with edge. Also you can say the ship is cutting edge. Both used before on ships no longer in the fleet. I kind of like the idea of recycling old names. I think other lines have been doing that. Holland America does this and like the idea. Bring back Horizon or Galaxy. Also all ships in this class will have the older ship names. Was there a ship name Meridian or was that RCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop-JohnB Posted December 7, 2014 #31 Share Posted December 7, 2014 How about Excelsior and Excalibur, both names suggested by my DH. Great names... But honestly they both begin with "E" and there is enough confusion already between Equinox & Eclipse as it is. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebutlerdidit Posted December 7, 2014 #32 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Both used before on ships no longer in the fleet. I kind of like the idea of recycling old names. I think other lines have been doing that. Ok, if Meridian and Horizon can't be reused, how about Pinnacle or Apex. I sort of like Pinnacle shortened to the Pinnie.

Tricia724 Posted December 7, 2014 #33 Share Posted December 7, 2014 If the first ship in the Millennium Class was the Millennium and the first ship in the Solstice Class was the Solstice, maybe Project Edge will become the new Edge Class. That will make for some fun conversations in port when you tell someone "I'm on the Edge..." Maybe we should just name them Tranquil and Placid. Ah, too boring, you say. OK, then, how about nomenclature near and dear to Celebrity cruisers: Upscale and Unlimited (drinks, fun, whatever). This could be the new "U" class. Think about the marketing possibilities.... 1) The U-class, where it's all about U.... 2) U will love the new Celebrity ships where U are always Number One.... 3) U are the center of our universe. (Hey, if this works, the third ship in the series could be the "Universe.") The possibilities are endless. Celebrity, are you listening????

DYKWIA Posted December 7, 2014 #35 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Nautilus, Calypso, Atlantis, Enterprise, Mazu, Sedna, Neptune, Brizo, Athena. In terms of edge related words - The Fringe, The Shore, The Point, The Flange and The Crust On a lighter note - the Davy Jones, kardashian, Oprah, the Black Pearl, Pepsi Max, Queen Camilla I (maybe Cunard already have bagged this) , Modern Luxury (to finally end the debate on whether Celebrity is or is not..), Edge for the first, Bono for the second Personally don't like Serenity, would really put me off and immediately thoughts of retirement homes and chapels of rest come to mind... Call the first one Serenity and you might want to call the second Restful Meadows. Edited December 7, 2014 by DYKWIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted December 7, 2014 #36 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Another great astronomy term, with its source in Ancient Greek SYZYGY (and people complain that silhouette and millennium are hard to spell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsimon Posted December 7, 2014 #37 Share Posted December 7, 2014 .... Was there a ship name Meridian or was that RCL? Meridian was Celebrity's first ship, or at least the first one sailing under the Celebrity name. That's something I learned on this forum. A quick Google search even found a fan page for the ship: http://ssmeridian.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jveevers Posted December 8, 2014 #41 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Given Celebrity have called this "project edge", I would say the Ship names are obvious. Celebrity Bono. And Celebrity Edge Known as U2 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted December 11, 2014 #49 Share Posted December 11, 2014 After all the troubles with azipod propulsion systems, the new ships should have (and flaunt) different technology. So how about: Heart of Gold [using the Improbability Drive] and TARDIS These ships would also be extremely popular for SciFi charter groups!
