As P&O are aiming the new ship at 'The next generation ' of cruisers i would think it would have to be something 'modern', maybe rules out 'Iberia'

Well, since P&O seem to have a desire to have names for their ships which end with the letter 'a' - what about 'Butlitzonsea'?

Surely, with P&O's current attitude for superlatives, the "MV Glorianosa" would fit the bill?

I think maybe that with the likely reduced room size and minuscule balconies a more appropriate name might be The Hive.

I'm not convinced P&O are either ! I suspect they already have a nem in mind and this is little more than a PR exercise. The odds are that someone will come up with the name they have already chosen so they can have a "winner" !

From what I've seen so far it may not be one of us!

Didn't Ken go along too? I think we are still in disgrace since Stephen nicked Carol Marlow's sequined P&O handbag

I'm still waiting for my invite if anyone's listening

I did get a letter mentioning something about a black list. I thought I was getting a special invite to a African formal night event. Obviously not :roll:
