Vista 3 - the bun is in the oven!

The first steel has been cut on the next #VistaSista:

Commence with the speculation on the name, Carnival Splendor's new name upon her transfer to P&O Australia, and where Vista 3 will be homeported.

I would guess Sunrise, as Carnival Corporation filed an trademark application for the name "Carnival Sunrise" using the same categories of use that it has used in the past for ship names. It fits with the theme (Vista, Horizon, Sunrise). However, they actually filed that application before they filed for "Carnival Vista" and the application has been abandoned. But, it could be revived, so I am sticking with "Carnival Sunrise."

 

I just checked the Horizon filing. The trademark application was filed August 1, 2016, one day after the July 31 announcement of the name. That means they might not tip their hand by applying for the trademark before announcing the name. That may cut against my "Carnival Sunrise" position.

Too similar to Sunshine. I'll go with Carnival Field of View. ;-)

Sunrise vs Sunshine would be very confusing.

Sunrise vs Sunshine would be very confusing.

Yes it would. There aren't a lot of synonyms for vista/horizon, thus me not making a serious guess. I suppose they could go with Vision, but then again it's too similar to Vista. So beats me where they might go with it.

Outlook? Panorama?

Infinity?

Outlook? Panorama?

One of the YouTube videos for Horizon or Vista actually uses the phrase "perfect panorama" so that could be a hint, much like one of the videos for Vista had "in 2016, big things are on the horizon".

 

Horizon's announcement video also uses the phrase "embrace new perspectives" so Perspective may be in play as well.

 

Given there's a model of the "Excellence" class ship with "Carnival Reflection" on it, I doubt that name is going to be used for Vista 3.

I was going to guess Carnival Reflections as Horizon and Reflections are the names of the 2 dining rooms on the Vista.

 

What is the "Excellence" class? The two for 2020 and 2022?

[tidecat]

Yes, the "Excellence" or "XL" class are the ships due to Carnival in 2020 and 2022. The class will also include two ships for Costa (2019 and 2021), and two for AIDA (AIDAnova in 2018, and another ship in 2021).

My guess too but could be the name of the Horizon's main dining room.

So the mention of Reflection was before they knew about Vista 3. Maybe they will use Reflection for the 2019 ship and come up with new names for the 2020 and 2022 ones.

It is already the name of a Vista dining room. I don't think they will repeat it on the Horizon.

 

Whatever they name the dining rooms on the Horizon may be indications of what the newer ships will be called. My guess.

I'm going with the Carnival Edge, as in the edge of the horizon. :D Homeport: Miami, because it's been our favorite port to cruise out of so far. :cool:

Sorry that is what I meant. It could be Reflection or what ever the name of the Horizon dining room is going to be.
