emmy Posted May 21, 2008 #526 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Interesting news Emmy. Guess we should be finding out the names very soon. It be long before they open up the bookings. :) We still plan to be on the inaugural cruise. I'll be glad when the post the cabin deck plans. Hoping for a members cruise soon after she starts sailing like they did for Freedom. On Freedom did the inaugural on June 4 and Oct 15 they had a C&A members cruise on her..and it was an awesome price for that members cruise with a coupon. Do you hear me RCI:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiserccl Posted May 23, 2008 #531 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Now that we have a name lets talk about it in “All Things OASIS Of The Seas”. Formally “Project Genesis” :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted May 23, 2008 #532 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Why do we need a new thread? Just change the Genesis thread. There is already much information on the old thread that by the way is on the first page. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=720742 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLQ Posted May 23, 2008 #533 Share Posted May 23, 2008 http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/item.aspx?type=blog&ak=50150058.blog Do we know in what order they'll use the new names, i.e.- will the first ship be Oasis? Well Bonnie, at least we know now what it seems to be! You're going to have to hold me to using the right name. I would tend to just keep on calling this thing "Genesis" if not caused to switch over. Gosh, I'd hate to get on board the wrong ship!:eek: As an edit, I just looked back up and see that you've already changed your Signature. I'm assuming that since it's the Oasis-class the first one must be just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLQ Posted May 23, 2008 #535 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I've noticed a lot of people's penchant on CC for not reading a thread and just posting redundantly in response to the OP. There's one sense in which a new thread might at least freshen up the conversation. I don't know. Although I'll have to get used to not calling the ship "Genesis" anymore, there is at least a new vibe now that there is a real name and not a project place-holder. Starts to feel a little more real. Combine that with some expanded info coming soon and the ability to actually see schedules and book this behemoth--it's getting downright exciting!

alphakitty Posted May 23, 2008 #543 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Congrats to George and Jennifer! They are really nice people, we all got to meet on the Indy cruise.

Old habits are hard to break!!!;) I know!!!! I think this is the hardest thing to accept about the name change! I wish the first one had just been named "Gensis" and then the future-builds would have gone with Oasis and Allure! I will get use to it though! And I can't wait to sail on her! I don't care WHAT her name is! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
