Oh Susanna.

Pity Gale Storm couldn't Christen her-

We had a person (female chef, actually, the culinary flavor of that month)  named Cat Cora for the Riviera

Nice enough person, but she has since tread a path into oblivion....

We thought of Nausea and Diarrhea, or just Nora Virusa.  Hey, no one said one had to use good taste!

For those who may have lost the Oceania email like I did, here is the link to the entry page

Trivia 😁 .... the favorite “sport” on Oceania.

My wife’s, suggestion, Catalina.

I feel quite confident that the name has already been chosen.

Similar to the Seth Mcfarlane show I went with the Orvalia

Only if they name the main restaurant the DDR (i.e, Deano's Dining Room).

Yes. We have been to this rodeo before.

Do you think we can actually add wrinkles to their road plan?

Frankly , anything can happen.

Remember that the initial name for the company itself has been amended, so the best laid plans for the new build name are not as written in stone as anyone might imagine...even if the powers that be believe that it is "in the bag".

With apologies to loyal readers of the sailing rag, Latitude 38:

Dedicate the first of the two new ships to primarily US West Coast departures and call it 

Baja Ha Ha.

well I can rest my brain, not open to us in Europe!!

Why would you plaster the internet with press announcements last January for the new "Allura Class" and not name the first new ship Allura?

They did not name  the first  "Oceania class"  ship  Oceania   maybe the same  idea

True.  Hadn't thought about that.

But I still think it's strange.

How about Titanica, or would that not cut the ice?

Unbelievably, the Australians have already cornered that market:

Very interesting, you learn something every day. Hope this does not lose the thread of the post.

I wonder how anxious would people be to cruise on the Titanic again - don’t underestimate peoples’ superstitions. 😊

In honor of Oceania outrunning the pirates near Somalia, I chose the name Oceania Flotilla.

By the way, I won third prize about 10 years ago in the Design the Oceania itinerary contest. Won two weeks in a PH suite for two on the Marina, including airfare. Hoping this name is not too warlike and I will win again!

[marieps]

How 'bout the Benita? You seem to be charmed.

Is Oceania claiming the ship is unsinkable?

 

Maybe if it just stays away from iceberg territory?

 

LOL  😀

The “random drawing from all entries”, would mean this whole contest is what  it really is... as has been said, a publicity ploy... but really, like most contests and giveaways on the internet, a marketing ploy to get your email address ( if they didn’t already have it).

 

The right way to do it, would be for them to choose a good name from all entries, and only do a random drawing from those submitting the same name.
