Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted November 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Guessing they'll announce the 5th E-Class's ship name, either the Excel/Xcel or Vertex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulh84 Posted November 6, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) It's Excel or Xcel - the filing for Vertex is dead. Xcel is the more recent filing that was submitted right before Vertex was scrapped so it's pretty safe bet that it is Xcel. A few online travel agencies already have Xcel loaded into their list of Celebrity ships too. Edited November 6, 2023 by paulh84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did that social media ship name poll, at that time I said if I could bet on the name I'd take Excel/Xcel if for no other reason, its was far more familiar than "Vertex". Guessing Vertex came about from someone who only used a thesaurus (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft already uses that name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltorodiablo Posted November 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Would be the second Microsoft software ship name after Edge! My thought is that Xcel too closely matches the naming convention of the Galapagos ships. Xpedition and Xploration. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no conflict there since these are two entirely different goods and services. Microsoft does not wholly own or control all use of the word Excel. You could probably find another company using the same word or brand as any ship name out there such as Xcel Energy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
