What cruise ship was christened yesterday in Southampton?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #1668 on:** July 30, 2009, 17:40:26 »

Celebrity Equinox

Buglers and a bagpipe and drum corps opened the naming ceremony for Celebrity Equinox in Southampton, followed by a piano rendition of the Beatlesâ€™ classic â€˜Here Comes the Sun.â€™

The song paid tribute to godmother Nina Barough, CBE, founder of the breast cancer charity â€˜Walk the Walk,â€™ whose â€˜Sunwalksâ€™ and â€˜Moonwalksâ€™ have raised $85m for the cause.

Sharon Smith, godmother of Equinoxâ€™s sister ship, Celebrity Solstice, took the stage by surprise to Barough, and both joined Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. chairman and ceo Richard Fain to cut the ribbon â€“ symbolically, pink, in recognition of breast cancer causes. The ribbon threaded through the ship, ultimately releasing a large bottle of champagne that crashed against the stack.

The bottle was created by The Corning Museum of Glass, Celebrity Cruisesâ€™ partner in the first glassblowing show and demonstration at sea for Celebrity Solstice in 2008. Now Celebrity Equinox, too, will offer the â€˜Hot Glass Showâ€™ on board.

The ship enters revenue service on Friday with an eight-night Norwegian Fjords cruise, then returns to Southampton to begin its official maiden voyage Aug. 8 to the Mediterranean.

Celebrity Equinoix will sail from Civitavecchia through the autumn before repositioning to Port Everglades for the winter Caribbean season.

Don't know where WM has gone but know I was right.

New question, what is the name of these two ferries and where do they trade between?

After all those infos you provided with, to say "Correct" was kinda unnecessary.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #1671 on:** July 30, 2009, 23:25:56 »

Didn't mean to offend, there might have been another one?

Anyway, have you workd out the new one or waiting for Ferry Man?

Wave Music · « **Reply #1672 on:** July 30, 2009, 23:42:16 »

I'll leave clueless question for TFM.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #1673 on:** July 31, 2009, 00:00:30 »

It is not clueless, the clues are in the environment

saltydog · « **Reply #1674 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:47:48 »
