Carnival also has a 'Dream' already.
Well, yes and no. The copyrighted name of that ship would be 'Carnival Fantasy'. Not just 'Fantasy'. The actual name of the ship has to be left open, because you can't have Carnival or Disney telling people they can't call their 30 foot boat 'Fantasy'.

No and no. Names are not copyrightable.
correct, but they can be trademarked.
Okay, so Carnival couldn't trademark "Fantasy" as the name of the cruise ship? Could Ford have a car called the "Ford Prius?"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_distinctiveness
The context and meaning of the word does have a bearing on the extend to which one can claim it. Prius, for example, is a made up word with no prior meaning so no one can use it for another product in any context, including cars.
Since Dream and Fantasy are existing words they aren't afforded the same protection.
Based on the Wik article I get the impression that Carnival could trademark "Fantasy." Obviously, I'm wrong. I read it as meaning that while you can't trademark the 'Cruise Line' in Carnival Cruise Line you can trademark a specific name for a specific use. So GM could call a car the "Buick Fantasy," but not have a cruise ship called "Fantasy." Again, obviously I'm reading it wrong. Still, I'm surprised Disney would want the same name as another ship that, I believe, sails from the same port.

It's only marginally better than "hope" and "change".

Seriously people, it's just a name.
The name has no bearing on the ship or the service it provides. Who cares about the names. They do tie to Disney, which is all that really matters.
People are quick to hate everything and like little around here.
Let's wait and see what the ships look like and such before getting so worked up.

I totally missed that. When I went two years ago I stayed in Sierra Tower... but I guess now it's obvious that things change quickly.
Or at least some things SHOULD change quickly...

Well, I wasn't expecting Kungaloosh and Hoopla. The names were very predictable, but they are "Disney".

Disney Freewinds.

I don't think Disney would want people to think their ships were asbestos filled death traps where crew members abuse children.
