kitty9 Posted November 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Just got an email from O talking about a contest to name the new cruise ship. The only stipulation is that the name must end with the letter A. I just went through a list of words ending in A, and there are some interesting, if not inappropriate, ideas. The Disequilibrium, The Microbia, The Psychodrama, The Abracadabra, The Anesthesia, The Kookaburra, The Influenza. There are a few that might work like The Fantasia, The Camilla, The Magnolia. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toranut97 Posted November 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I submitted an entry. But I was disappointed to read that the winner will be selected by random drawing. Takes some of the fun out of it, IMHO. Donna 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susiesan Posted November 21, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 21, 2019 No way a company will choose the name of a new ship, a very expensive asset for the business, by a random drawing. They just say that as a marketing gimmick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted November 21, 2019 #12 Share Posted November 21, 2019 There's no way I'm going to print my winning name for someone else to steal it! Random drawing? That does sound crazy to me. What if they draw the name "Rust Bucket"? Perhaps they would then continue drawing until they came upon a name they liked ... Mura 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoverian Posted November 21, 2019 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I've been at this for hours. All that I came up with were "Franka" and Delrioa". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random drawing? That does sound crazy to me. What if they draw the name "Rust Bucket"? Perhaps they would then continue drawing until they came upon a name they liked ... Mura I found this on item #8 of the drawing "rules": GENERAL: Notwithstanding the vote results, Sponsor reserves the right to name the ship in any manner it chooses, in its sole discretion. Use of your Entry as the name of the ship will not entitle you to any prize or other compensation; the only prize-winners in this promotion are those selected by the random draw. So, Oceania can use my brilliant, fantastic, bodacious suggestion for the ship's name and I still might not win.

Mura Posted November 21, 2019 #15 Share Posted November 21, 2019 😊 I wasn't going by the first post here, I was going by the CC announcement ... so I didn't look further into the rules. I know that a dear friend once won a price for creating a cruise itinerary ... I suspect he didn't have these extra rules in place! I guess I won't bother ...

Petoonya Posted November 22, 2019 #20 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Was this a Cruise Critic email or an O email? I did get an email but glanced at it and discarded. But now I have some ideas.......:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted November 22, 2019 #23 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Earlier today CC itself had an announcement of this contest ... at least, that is where I first saw it. Perhaps go to the main CC list rather than HERE. Just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
