Rare carlanthony24 Posted March 2, 2023 #76 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Some of the things people are saying on other sites. Glad "I did not book, hope she is not on my cruise". Get a grip. Another guy correctly pointed out P&O is part of American Carnival Corporation. No one really knows how it becomes a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these decisions are taken on a commercial basis. P&O will be hoping her contribution is going to be a commercial success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted March 2, 2023 #78 Share Posted March 2, 2023 What utter rubbish. The ship is already sailing and should be named already. It's pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted March 2, 2023 #79 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Lets play spot the deliberate mistake..... if anyone has watched the videos published by P&O of the new godmother on Arvia, let me know what is not quite right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaguely remember the group name, but don’t recall any of their songs or anything on Nicole, other than her relationship with Lewis Hamilton. I suspect this was forced on P&O by their US based owners. For a ship registered in the U.K., you would have thought they could have chosen a U.K. Female Artist. Edited March 2, 2023 by Snow Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS is probably less known in the US than here. And what motive would there be anyway ? It's not as if P&O are trying to break into the US market.

Because Iona and Nicole were both in the same place, whereas Arvia was in the Caribbean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showingdiva Posted March 2, 2023 #91 Share Posted March 2, 2023 After Lewis Hamilton, she moved on with former Scottish rugby player Thom Evans, with whom she went around the world posing for photos in some beautiful locations (he's rather easy on the eye himself). Apparently, they've now split too. Given the target passenger audience direction P&O now apparently seem to be taking, it's not an illogical booking. Targeted at a similar market, my lovely Virtuosa was one of a few that Sophia Loren has been the godmother of for MSC. She looked very frail at the (very glitzy) christening, although I ashamedly thought she hadn't been with us for some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted March 2, 2023 #92 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Pussy Cat Dolls of which she was was a member are the biggest girl band in the world of all time There's no question she's a big name in world terms and even more so in USA than UK And worldwide So assuming P and O want to attract a larger US or worldwide customer base it's a good move for sure Edited March 2, 2023 by Interestedcruisefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
