Name of new Azamara ship?

[excitedofharpenden]

I think it's an odd decision because it will always be a reminder of what is currently going on in the cruising world and I'd rather forget about that in future!  Definitely wouldn't be my choice.

All *ward names have "belonged" to the early NCL. (Sunward, Starward, Skyward, Southward, Seaward, Westward, Dreamward, Windward and Leeward.)

"Onward" doesn't tick any boxes for me. 
"So, what ship are you on?"

"We are on the "Onwards" "

"On the what...??"

Will your vote for 5th ship be upwards then????!!

Not thrilled with the name . . . but the ship’s name isn’t a factor in my choice of cruises.

I liked Onward better than Forth or Discovery, but it will be odd to say "I'm on the Onward."

[TeaBag]

Not thrilled either, but I would be thrilled to sail on it regardless of the name.

Maybe a  La La Land moment ?

I never refer to an Azamara ship name without prefacing it with the Azamara so it will be Azamara Onward for me.

I assume “Onward” received the most votes from the “loyal customer” email and the associated other voting platforms?  Hadn’t realised I liked “Forth” as much as I do now 🥴

 

Really looking forward to hearing about “Onwards” itineraries.

Let's hope it's not downwards!!

Did the vote count for anything? Seems to be a bit predetermined.

The ship name is not that important to me…but I am pretty sure Onward was my choice. 😉 I am also responsible for the Hilton Doubletree’s redesigned logo. Two times I got my choice after participating in a survey.

Ditto. Will be looking for something "new" in 2023.

I will stuff the gaps in my suitcase [as if!] with Excelsior:  Onward & Upward.

So as I previously mentioned Discovery was one of my suggestions and so of course I voted for that...but I have to say, like “Pursuit” the name “Onward” is already growing on me. First of all it fits well with the other three names. Also I like the sense of positive momentum, resilience and optimism it implies. I also think it is a very appropriate name for a ship that will be the first AZ launches post-pandemic. It gives me a sense of hope. I will be hoping to sail her as soon as she’s ready...my husband believes international travel will not truly be feasible  (especially to multiple countries) until 2022 anyway so we are planning for that and focusing any 2021 adventures on the U.S.  See you in 2022 Azamara Onward!

I was not happy with any of the choices. My suggestion was Azamara Venture. 

The important thing is that we now have four ships. 😁 The triplets and good old auntie Onward. 😂

Venture was my favourite too, but it didn't even make the shortlist. However, there is a fourth ship which is positive news.
