It has been said that there are christenings and then there are Cunard christenings. And yesterday Cunard had a christening.
On Sunday, describing what would happen in Monday's naming ceremony for Queen Elizabeth, Cunard president Peter Shanks said, "My job is to make sure the hair on the back of your neck stands on end."
To accomplish that he rallied all the pageantry and splendor the British company could muster. In this CND article we look at how he accomplished it and what he says the new ship's role will be. We have other things on our blog we heard and saw at the weekend's event that you probably didn't read elsewhere.
The complete article appeared in the October 12, 2010, edition of Cruise News Daily.
