POLL: Splendour of the Seas to become Thomson...

Time for a poll.

What do you think the new ship should be named? I've added some here in the poll. Pick your favourite. :)

I've stuck with my original choice - Explorer as that is what a cruise represents to me.......exploring new places, exploring old ones - again to find something different and the excitement of new experiences.

I like Bliss too - but as with Dream I feel it sets itself up to 'deliver' something (your dreams, a state of bliss) which opens the door for people to knock the name if it fails to come up to possibly exacting or unreasonable expectations. Note the unfortunate tag the Dream is lumbered with when things go wrong! Am I over thinking? Possibly. :rolleyes:

At least Explorer will deliver on that front - Thomson itineraries are varied, imaginative and they do try to offer something new and exciting each year - and as we look to the future, who knows what options they may offer us to explore further afield. She hopes! ;)

I have said Splendour.

They will keep the name, it will reduce the number of initial sign-age changes.

Expect bits of sticky backed plastic covering "of the seas" for the first few cruises...... The crown and anchor will have TUi smile stickers on them too.

Where's Geosprout in the poll, Sailaway.... ;);):D

Splendour for me too - if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Are Thomson taking The Bliss?

I'm afraid geosprout and macaroni cheese didn't quite make the cut. :D

drat!... i would have voted for macaroni cheese.... my macaroni cheese

i like the thomson miracle as well:p

i've gone with my earlier vote...... thomson bliss:cool:

Thomson Velcro didn't make the list either :(

Thomson cast off?

So much choice on your list .....

I think It will be Splendour but from your list I actually like Thomson Serenity .

I just think they will stick to Splendour.

Whichever they chose it will be nice to try her out at some point.

Going with P&O this year so we'll be looking to see what's on offer with Thomson for 2016 :)

Judging by the poll, looks like Thomson might not need to put that much effort into the new name.

Every time I try to vote it won't let me choose name I thought splendour as well

It was a toss up between Splendour and Dawn. Plumped for Dawn as I thought it might be the beginning of a new era for Thomson!

Mind you, I was quite happy in the old era

so the sprout of the seas is out:( so will have to go with the flow :rolleyes:

Stevie:)

I think I probably agree that it most likely will be Splendour. Doesn't seem much point broadcasting an announcement if it is though.

I've gone for Serenity, same as last time. I'm a big Joss Whedan fan.;):)

I would like a theme if they really are getting a few new(er) ships. I like things ordered instead of a mish mash of unconnected names.

I chose Explorer because, like Krukseeka, I am worried that if they choose something like Splendour, Joy, Jubilation and the first cruise is like the first Dream cruise, Watchdog and the newspapers will have a field day with their headlines :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I like "Breeze". (Well, I actually like Geosprout but that choice was not there)

I think Sensatori would be too ambitious for Thomson - hate to say it but I don't think their Cruises will ever be of the same standard as the Sensatori Hotels.....think that would too ambitious for them.

Thomson Velcro didn't make the list either :(

Please explain Rookery - you have me puzzled (I just don't get it!)

you have me puzzled (I just don't get it!)

I voted for the Splendour, its best that they keep part of the name.

Noticed that "Breeze" was mentioned, and I remember Ocean breeze from Dolphin cruises. Oh what an ugly looking ship, one of the really old ones, but so so beautiful inside. Fantastic service, really fantastic food. Charming officers too.

.

Someone else mentioned it would be nice for a theme to the names.

I said on another page that musical names would be nice...

Thomson Serenade

Thomson Melody

Thomson Harmony

Thomson Rhapsody

Thomson Symphony

Someone else mentioned it would be nice for a theme to the names.

What a lovely idea.

.

We've definitely got a clear winner then!

Even though part of me thinks maybe Thomson should change the name to something else entirely to put their own mark on it, I do quite like Thomson Splendour.

I do quite like a theme! I think Celebrity do it best with their more recent ships: Eclipse, Silhouette, Reflection etc.

Velcro...... as in rip off ;)
