On naming a ship

2013 January 18

One thing that’s cool about having a decently sized following on this blog is that, from time to time, our readers actually send me good ideas and/or content to post. For example, just recently Elizabeth emailed me a link to a cool infographic put together by Celebrity Cruise Lines entitled 20 Facts You Never Knew About Inaugurating a Ship. Most people are likely familiar with one or two of the points that are shown on that image but I doubt many readers are aware of all of them. Check out that link, it’s pretty interesting. And thanks for sharing, Elizabeth!

Even though we didn’t know all of the history that is laid out on Celebrity Cruise Line’s pic, we did make an attempt at a proper ceremony when we renamed our PDQ from Katana to Zero To Cruising. :)

    So! If I got this right, you poured $400 worth of Champagne into the water during a meaningless richual. And I thought you guy’s were wise.
