Castle25 Posted February 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2021 if Barbados has a LNG depot then it would make sense for it to take over from azura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeecco Posted February 17, 2021 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I reckon the name might be Isla... similar to Iona in being a Scottish island and apparently means ‘bright as sun’... it also means Island in Spanish so if it’s heading to the Caribbean then that may work for them.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted February 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I am getting daily emails from P&O - driving me mad. So just had one about this naming, as if I'm interested!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it makes more sense to replace Britannia on the 7/14 night trips considering Azura will become a sun ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is two other Excel ships to be homeported there. Dubai and the gulf are becoming increasingly popular with families with the activities and shopping so I think it may well be an option.

Not quite sure how that would have anything to do with future travel. We could still travel to the US when another ‘nasty man’ was in charge 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete14 Posted February 17, 2021 #23 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I may be reading too much into the video, but is the final picture of the couple forming the letter A a clue? Mind you the rest of the fleet names end with an A. My money is with joeecco - Isla. The stick the girl on the beach is holding could be the L. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason that name always reminds me of someone from the 1960s / 1970s - an Isla Sinclair. She did my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
