No problem lots of fitting names
The Incredible Hulks  or Hulls of the Seas
MS King Kong of the Sea
MS Bigfoot of the Seas
Monster of the Seas
Everest of the Seas
Just add "of the Seas to anything really big.

Dang! I was going to say that!
Hmmm, Genesis class. A new beginning. Well, I always liked the name Enterprise!  Too Trekie? Too military? Alpha. Too lame. People Mover of the Seas? Nahhh, it would never fly.

I agree with you!!!!!!!!! That's the main reason I won't sail on Princess anymore.....I just hope all of the major cruise lines don't follow suit.......

I was reading the "Name the Genesis" thread on the DS and someone actually submitted that name.

Thankfully RCI has not added those nor have they hinted at doing so. Just read that Carnival is now selling advertising and will show this on board the large screen TV's. Ridiculous way to make a buck.

I agree. I go on vacation to get away from a lot of things, including the constant bombardment from advertisers.

Wait 'til they start selling the naming rights for the ships. RCI could have one of the Genesis ships called the monster.com of the Seas.

They are named
Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas are the names chosen for what will become the world’s largest cruise ships.
The winning combination of names, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, was submitted by George Weiser, of Livonia, Mich.

MIAMI, May 23 -- An oasis is commonly defined as a fertile area in an arid region or a place of refuge, relief, or pleasant contrast. Today, Royal Caribbean International adds another use of the term, defining it as the official name for the cruise line's newest and most awe- inspiring class of cruise ships, until now referred to by the code name "Project Genesis." The name Oasis of the Seas was selected from more than 91,000 entries in Royal Caribbean's "Name that Ship" contest, which the cruise line launched on January 18. Entrants were invited to submit two names ending in "of the Seas" that best encapsulate the universe of experiences a Royal Caribbean cruise provides guests. The contest marks the first time members of the general public, outside of the cruise industry, have been given the opportunity to name a cruise ship.
Full story here:

I don't like Oasis because it makes me think of a stationary place.
I guess a certain someone's "Whiner On The Seas" didn't win, huh?
