Example 17: Odyssey Cruises

Perhap the most ironic, least researched use of the name Odyssey, would be it’s use in Odyssey cruises. The mistake doesn’t need to much explanation, as we all know the story of the Odyssey follows the “unluckiest man” Odysseus, through the Mediterranean and fairy land for ten years in a desperate attempt to return home. Odyssey cruises promises breakfast, lunch, or dinner in a sophisticated setting, but it may as well be a promise from Circe with a treacherous name like Odyssey. They specialize in marriage as well, or true love as they call it. Arguably this is the only similarity with the story of the Odyssey, as Odysseus is in a constant search for his wife and love. Once again however, no one should feel confident in a company which implies the wedding might take 10 years, in which time it's very possible your wife could be relentlessly sought after by your old employees (as no one has subjects any more.) Odyssey cruises attempts to sound sophisticated by name dropping, but in the process appear fools, particularly since The Odyssey is the most read classic, it might explain why Odyssey cruises are only available in Boston, Chicago, or Washington DC. The only open ocean available is in one of their locations, Boston.http://www.odysseycruises.com/
