UUNetBill Posted April 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2016 So is anyone else curious about the name of Explorer's sister? I know some people were less than enthusiastic about Explorer as a name but I have to admit it's growing on me. Does anyone remember how much time elapsed between Explorer's announcement and her actual naming? I'm already anxious to refer to this new ship by some name other than 'New Ship'. :) I think it would be fun to have some sort of 'guess the new name' thread or something...

flossie009 Posted April 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Maybe Regent should have a Public Poll, similar to the recent poll to name a new polar research vessel: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/apr/17/boaty-mcboatface-wins-poll-to-name-polar-research-vessel http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36064659 ....................or maybe not :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted April 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2016 There are good ships and wood ships, ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, may they always be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a naming contest could be fun - probably couldn't give the winners a free cruise or anything, but a nice upgrade or some OBC would be nice. I've already penciled in a few names. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlevin Posted April 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2016 As for Seven Seas Explorer; that name had been planned years earlier; in fact, Radisson's office had a proposed model many years ago that bore that name. As for the next ship, I would like to see Song of Flower 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winner Posted April 20, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2016 There can never be another Song of Flower--Much of her appeal was in her size and intimacy, neither of which exists today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPR Posted April 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2016 We miss the Diamond too, but past is past. I think they should name it the "Regent Charles," the closest the poor guy appears likely to get to being King... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
