Ship names

[screwy]

Ok, so if and i mean IF, P&O were to launch new ships what would we like to see them called.? I know no-one wants Canberra just yet but how about going back to the Oransay etc. Thoughts.??

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'd like Canberra!

[screwy]

Wouldnt mind it myself, just thought maybe some of the Old names , Chusan and others might bring a bit more Nostalgia back..!

[Dancing Queen]

I don't think some of the old names would project the image P&O are trying to project with their newer ships but that is just my opinion and Britannia was well received, I think one thing that is pretty certain should there be another ship the name will end in an A .. I rather like Athena.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Be nice to have a smaller ship in the fleet. A good name would be Adonia....... !

[Meg 50]

Bertha....

I am definitely not into repeating names of earlier ships, I like each ship to have its own identity so would always want a new name for a new build, or even a transfer in.
I don't have any suggestions but I do like there to be a theme to the names, and thats not just because thats how the RCI group work.

Well I like Britannia - don't knock it till you've tried it Cubie

[Mervyn and Trish]

So do we Blod, but I'm happy to keep the riff raff off.

Strange that Merv but one of Pauline's early comments was that the standard of cruiser on Britannia was a lot lower than we had experienced on Eclipse back in June/July. Now I realise this was a school holiday cruise, and there were a lot of children on board but they behaved very well, little noise, no running aimlessly around and no playing around in the lifts, but there were some very miserable, non family folk on board.

I'm reasonably confident I would enjoy a cruise on Britannia, but even more confident I would enjoy the same cruise even more if on Aurora, Arcadia or even Azura....

Hope you're not turning into a couple of snobs!

Our experience has been that there are lovely people on every line we've been on along with a few we'd prefer never to meet again.

We did have a particularly interesting group on our table on Calamity Collapse. Not counting us, four of the table were P&O regulars trying Calamity for the first time and they were lovely.

The other two had never travelled on any line other than Calamity and they looked down their noses at us riff raff throughout the first night and never came to dinner again!

Titanica ?

So long as there's not too much ice in the drinks Meg !!

[Raybosailor]

The name of my old boat was 'Icarus' in Greek mythology Icarus was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus who made him some wings, but he flew too close to the sun and burnt his wings crashing into the Aegean Sea.

Any ship that takes you to the sun has got to be named 'Icarus' yes ?, oh just a thought.

Not if it's gonna set fire and sink...!!!!!

We're doing a Ship Visit towards the end of next month so I'll let you know whether I think it is suitable to be graced by your magnificence, Blod !

Wake up Cubie - I've been on her twice - don't you remember our non-meeting at Christmas - I've never been stood up before
