Weird Question: Is "O'Sheehan's" a word play of the word "Oceans"?

[zaknzoey]

Just off Dawn on Friday.

 

We ate at O'Sheehan's several times. While I was there one day, I thought about this.

 

Is O'Sheehan's specific to NCL? Not a land based chain, right?

 

I just wondered if they named it that as a play on words of the word "Oceans." :o

 

Your thoughts? :D

Kevin Sheehan was the boss of NCL when these venues appeared on the newer ships, starting with Epic. Possibly it also could be a play on the word "oceans" depending on how much you have had to drink while you are there. :D

Ahh........

 

I did not know it had to do with anyone's name. I googled this recently and the only sites I found that had that name in it were NCL sites or cruise related sites, all talking about the restaurant. I wasn't aware that there was an actual person with this name.

 

Thanks!

Kevin Sheehan the visionary behind the new builds before Frank Del Rio, with all the changes Del Rio made I'm surprised he didn't change the name of O'Sheehans to something else.

O'Del Rio didn't quite work as well. ;)

Yes, and I think Frankies is probably already copyrighted.

 

O'Sheehans (Ocean) is bigger than a Blue Lagoon perhaps?

First time I came across O'Sheehans was on the Epic in early 2013 and it was an unfamiliar sight at first as at the time, Blue Lagoon was on the other ships. Fast forward almost 4 years, O'Sheehan is on every ship now. No lie, I kinda long for the old Blue Lagoon now and its wonton soup.

It's based upon a typical Irish pub

It is on most NCL ships, not all. We just got off the Jade, and the Blue Lagoon still exists on that ship. No plans for O'Sheehan's on the Jade. But it does go into Dry Dock in March so we will see what changes will be made:)

[lisamacaroni]

Yes I totally think it is a play on words. ☺

Yes, there are plans, have been for a long time already. Moving Moderno to deck 13 and converting Blue Lagoon to O'Sheehans is part of NCL's Edge initiative that has been already completed on her sister ships and Jade is just the last one to go to the dry dock.

BAHAHAA...it sounds like a Mexican food chain.

[Eleteace]

Ha ha I love that theory! Sounds like a revelation you'd have when had too many drinks...

I remember asking which main dining room was open for lunch as I boarded the Epic once. The woman said "Taste or Oceans" and I was all confused as I knew the Epic didn't have a restaurant named Ocean's. Walked by O'Sheehan's and realized what she was trying to say.

Named after Kevin Sheehan who envisioned it creation in the theme of an Irish Pub.

I miss the wonton soup too. The O'Sheehan's soup is meh. But overall I prefer O'Sheehan's. Just wish they kept the 24 hr. breakfast selections and the brownie sundae.

Your thoughts? :D

 

My thoughts are above in RED

[Oldgoat61]

I had the same experience that SuiteCruiser had.

[KeithJenner]

I don't know how true this is, but we were told by some members of staff that most crew just call it Oceans because so many of them struggle to pronounce O'Sheehans correctly that they just don't bother trying so behind the scenes on some ships it's just called Oceans.

[citizenfrank]

Let us all hope that Mr. Frank Del Rio is not replaced by Mr. Gon Shiiter & company policy continues in terms of naming rights! :D

Only if you're from Conway, Arkansas and talk funny.

We got off the Gem yesterday and I mentioned in an earlier post how I kept thinking the crew was calling it "Oceans" too. I think it is just easier for them to pronounce.
