The names haven't been released. Someone saw those names in the background of a photo of the announcement of the new agreement with Port Canaveral. It's not official until Disney officially announces it. Meantime, anything seen in an artist's rendering is not necessarily final. Those may turn out to be the names, but we won't know for, perhaps, several years.

Oh, that's too bad. I really liked those names. Here's hoping that's what they'll actually be called

Names

My kids have talked off and on for over a year about the names.
Those names are okay. I guess you have to get something that people will remember, but to me they sound like the names of the "other" cruiselines that were always parked next to us in port. You know, ,the ones with the rowdy (and drunk in the middle of the day) teenagers/young adults, on who screamed inappropriate things at the little kids on our Ship that were unfortunate enough to be looking that way.
Made me realize I would probably never go on any other line....

There really aren't many names left. I kind of like the Solstice, but I've never been a fan of the Constellation. The Princess names all drag out a little and too many first timers have trouble pronouncing the HAL names. And now we've got two Freedoms and two Liberties.

I'm dead certain they won't use character or movie names, so that really doesn't leave many choices.

Any chance of a pic in that email? I would love to see it. Sadly I have never been on a Disney cruise yet, so I am not a CCC member

Here is a copy of that news story for those of you who have not sailed yet......

On Board News!
It's never been easier to check in...onboard!
A brand-new airline service allows eligible guests to check in for their post-cruise flights while on board Disney Magic® or Disney Wonder®. Boarding passes will be delivered to Guests' staterooms the day prior to disembarkation. No collecting or checking luggage. It will be picked up and transported directly from the ship to the Guest's flight.

New Ship News A new flag makes it official. In a ceremonial welcome, the Disney Cruise Line® team presented Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, with an official company flag. It will fly there for the next few years as work continues to move forward on the design, development and build for the company's two new cruise liners.

Youth Activities Update
It's spread across the nation. It's invaded countless households. Now...it's onboard Disney Cruise Line: the Nintendo Wii™.

Guests will find Nintendo Wii™ onboard Disney Magic® and Disney Wonder® in select areas: Aloft and The Stack (teens), the Oceaneer Lab (8-12 year olds) and in Diversions (family activities).

Kids, teens and whole families can take part in competitions in racing, tennis, bowling and even Disney-themed games. The latest installments and games will continually be added for Guests' enjoyment.

Is nothing sacred? It seems one of the Carnival ships currently on order for delivery in 2011 will be the Carnival Magic. So much for being worried that someone else is already using a name that Disney might want to use.

Is that legal?

Yes, it's legal. It's very hard to get trademark or copyright protection for simple words like wonder and magic. The words are already out there in common usage, so trademark and copyright law treat them as something in the public domain. Adding a trademarked name (such as Disney) to a common word only gives protection to the entire title - it can't be used as a tactic for claiming sole ownership of that common word.

Probably, a judge would say something like this, "Including the brand names 'Disney' and 'Carnival' in the ships names is enough to avoid possible consumer confusion between one and the other."

It's one of those situations that cuts two ways. Disney does lots of this itself, so if they brought a legal challenge against Carnival, Disney might be shooting itself in the foot regarding names such as "Disney's Animal Kingdom."

Does that mean someone could name their ship Titanic since the name was White Starline RMS Titanic.
