karmacats Posted September 18, 2016 #176 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Someone asked a good question in the Oasis 4 group... Would any new potential names show up on the trademark sites before the naming of the ship? yep. http://www.uspto.gov (hopefully i'm allowed to link to there). royal usually files for a bunch of names, then uses some of them and lets some abandon. you can search the website by owner "royal caribbean", or if you do a word mark search for "of the seas" you'll get only the ship names. select "live" to see only the active ones; selecting "live and dead" will also show you the marks they've applied for before but not used. there is nothing new for ship name applications - the last couple of applications were filed this summer for VOOM and QUEST. i'm a trademark attorney for the govt, so i guess this is where i'm supposed to say that everything i just told you is in my personal capacity as a cruiser/online friend and not as a govt employee. you know the drill. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamford57 Posted September 18, 2016 #177 Share Posted September 18, 2016 P&O have just released their summer 2018 sailings so I wonder if RC will follow suit and go on sale earlier than March/April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted September 18, 2016 #178 Share Posted September 18, 2016 P&O have just released their summer 2018 sailings so I wonder if RC will follow suit and go on sale earlier than March/April? Every year many other lines release sailings at various times ahead of Royal and Royal always sticks to their own release date. Still expect March/April 2018.

Biker19 Posted September 18, 2016 #180 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Thank you for the information.Vey helpful. Looking through that, with the exception of the Empress, the fillings seem to happen almost two years before maiden voyage. Passion was registered twice - RCI must have had some interest in that.

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted September 18, 2016 #181 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Thank you for the information.Vey helpful. Looks like all these were filed, but none listed as "live": Spectrum of the Seas Joy of the Seas Apex of the Seas Pulse of the Seas Passion of the Seas Emblem of the Seas Vantage of the Seas It appears they update to live once they actually make the selection. As Biker19 pointed out...it would seem an update is imminent for a 2018 launch. Edited September 18, 2016 by CRUISEFAN0001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshrich Posted September 21, 2016 #183 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Has anything been announced on features yet that may 'outharmony' Harmony? I'd love to see an iFly on here, really enjoyed that on the Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see an iFly on here, really enjoyed that on the Anthem. iFly is the only thing from the Quantum class ships I'd even consider trying/using. Based on the cost for adding it, plus the space it takes up...one has to wonder if that addition is even a remote possibility... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, with the split sports deck on an oasis ship, I doubt it would fit anyway. Maybe a water coaster going past the Suite balconies on 17. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropiclvrs Posted September 21, 2016 #190 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't like any of them either. I hope they are doing some kind of contest to come up with other ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted September 22, 2016 #198 Share Posted September 22, 2016 With MSC's latest designs approaching Oasis capacities, RCI wants to respond. I assume adding 40m (to reach 400m) to the existing Oasis design could be accomplished a la the Enchantment "stretch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted September 22, 2016 #199 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I know! Thanks for those images Lloyd. You already know I (and many others) have followed all of your threads on these new ships for years now - nobody provides better information than you, especially since you take the time to assemble, hunt, and present the information into this kind of thread - just to let you know it is appreciated. One has to wonder where the heck such a voluminous vessel would port and what destinations it could visit (given its size). WOW - looking forward to more on this in the future.

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted September 22, 2016 #200 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) They do indeed know the name of Oasis 4, according to a live Facebook chat with CC. The hint was that it goes well with Harmony. My guess is Symphony of the Seas. Edited September 22, 2016 by OfTheSeasCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
