C 2 C Posted January 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I was hoping for HELIOS. An Eclipse always inspired fear in primitive society and the word can be used in diferent ways as in "the Eclipse of the X way of cruising...":cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C 2 C Posted January 9, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2007 The boards are being updated and reworked to improve colours and pictures.. And I thought it was the result of too many posters... until I saw the new banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLM77 Posted January 9, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2007 We were rooting for HELIOS as well. Eclipse can also mean to 'outshine' or 'surpass'. :) We can but hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted January 9, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 9, 2007 We now know that Celestial is the basis for the new names and I'm rooting for the Eclipse to mean 'surpass'!! Looking forward to the maiden voyage of Solstice and, who knows, maybe other maiden voyages are in my future!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 9, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi Everyone ! While I like the name, that ever popular relationship between Car models and Ships continues. I agree with Arno (C2C) that Helios would have been a most interesting name, as well as a name that would not likely to be copied by another Cruise line. However, I figured that Celebrity would go with something most Cruise passengers would relate to, and therfore Eclipse makes a little more sense. Solstice, Equinox, and Eclipse.... I cant wait to see all 3 Ships make their debut in 2008, 2009, and 2010 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usha Posted January 9, 2007 #11 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Don, I'd all but forgotten about that guy; wonder if he's "reincarnated" himself on this board? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted January 9, 2007 Author #12 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Don, I'd all but forgotten about that guy; wonder if he's "reincarnated" himself on this board? :D He shows up every once in awhile on this board, doesn't use another name. I believe he is very active with a chat room and he still has his cruise web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted January 9, 2007 #13 Share Posted January 9, 2007 When will booking begin for the Solstice? Been waiting for a new and larger Celebrity ship to come out.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-legs Posted January 10, 2007 #14 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I was hoping for HELIOS. An Eclipse always inspired fear in primitive society and the word can be used in diferent ways as in "the Eclipse of the X way of cruising...":cool: Good evening Arno, Another slant on this: Should X go thru another series of newbuilds for post 2010, how do you top an ''eclipse'' ??? Hard act to follow.... Of course, it would be hard to face the unthinkable reality of '' The Eclipse of the X way of cruising'' as you hint above.
