sunflower47 Posted September 7, 2011 #26 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Project Breakaway ship named Norwegian Breakaway? Wow, that just goes right off the creativity meter there, doesn't it. Completely rigged. I want my contest entry fee back. That doesn't even sound pleasant to be on a ship named the Breakaway. It's like part of it might break. Or the Getaway. Like its a vehicle used in a bank robbery, not good names for a cruise ship. Doesn't give that very nice, pleasant feel of past names of ships...Pearl, Gem, Sun, Dream, Oasis, Allure, Magic, Dawn, Glory, Pride, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectingcoke Posted September 7, 2011 #29 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thats the best of all the enteries? Not too exciting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttilaTheFun Posted September 7, 2011 #30 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Submitted Escape as well, but at least a week after contest was announced. Assume it was a pretty popular submission. Breakaway is a cop-out and is weird to name a ship. I wouldn't want to think anything on the ship was made to "breakaway". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW 2 CRUISIN Posted September 7, 2011 #31 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I liked ESCAPE too! Congrats to whomever submitted it first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GophersMN Posted September 7, 2011 #32 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Escape just seems to plain and obvious.....as does Journey...I wish they'd of picked mine(Norwegian Spree), since whenever I cruise, it's just one big spending Spree:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebas030 Posted September 7, 2011 #33 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I dont like those names...They dont fit in well with the other NCL fleet. If i had to pick one, my vote will go to Journey You know what ??? ..... I'm right there with you :( Nothing hot and new. Not to offence anyone these names are good but the WOW factor is not there for me. I was expecting more I guess :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridaythe13th Posted September 7, 2011 #34 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Out of those I like Escape and Journey. It must be the "Car" Class. I wish they went with the "Floral" Class.... Rose, Lily, Freesia, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW 2 CRUISIN Posted September 7, 2011 #35 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Not to offence anyone these names are good but the WOW factor is not there for me. I was expecting more I guess :( Like what?

CCLNCLRCICRUISER Posted September 7, 2011 #37 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think these contests are just a way to get people talking and excited about the new ships. The names were already probably decided, months before the contest even was announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to offence anyone these names are good but the WOW factor is not there for me. I was expecting more I guess :( Uh, like what? Give us some examples of more WOW factor names. Most are taken by other cruise ships already or have some negative connotations to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcdogwalker Posted September 7, 2011 #40 Share Posted September 7, 2011 OH NO! I thought I would win. I had Aspire (maybe sounded too much like "expire") and Rainbow, would have made a nice design on the front of the ship. Oh Well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin'fun Posted September 7, 2011 #41 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Congrats to the finalists! I had submitted Escape and Bliss - guess the ole fingers just we not quick enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverman Posted September 7, 2011 #42 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Just do not like Breakaway or Bliss. Breakaway reminds me of an iceberg for some reason. Just sounds wrong. Why would you name a ship after a Bar???? Doesnt make sense. Why not name it White Hot or Le Bistro. Same thing. Just doesnt sound right. To me anyway.

dalgirl Posted September 7, 2011 #44 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I had Bliss.... me and probably hundreds of others... drat. But I hope it wins:) And I also like Escape... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntierobin Posted September 7, 2011 #45 Share Posted September 7, 2011 pooh! I had Breeze, Cloud, Gold, Heaven (close to haven). I like Bliss, kind of, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medtech2 Posted September 7, 2011 #46 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I entered a number of names including Bliss but probably way too late. I also went the Nordic route (Loki), hoping they would actually want to go back to the "norwegian " in the name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWTYD Posted September 7, 2011 #47 Share Posted September 7, 2011 If someone put a gun to my head, I would chose Journey and Escape, but I found all of them all pretty lame. I thought they would go with something more funky. These are kind of boring and they seem to be the popular names. There wasn't much thought going into this if so many people picked the same ones. I thought they were looking to breakaway from the norm. Bliss reminds me of blister and I can't get that out of my mind.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer-kraut Posted September 7, 2011 #50 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm disappointed in all the finalists. Nothing really strikes a chord but let's see how it works out with the interiors of the ships. At least they are non-repetitive reused names that seem to be the norm for various cruise lines recently. Magic, Dream, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
