Dueling Godmothers
OK, OK, the Godmothers aren't dueling, but today's cruise line announcements bragging about the Godmothers of their new ships seem to be. Who do you think would come out victorious in a fair arm wrestle, Carnival Liberty's Mira Sorvino, or Pride of America's Elaine Chao?
Norwegian Cruise Line's choice of Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao seems fitting, since Pride of America is the first newly-built ship to fly the American flag in 50 years. We'll be on hand to report back to you as Secretary Chao christens Pride of America in New York on June 17, during the vessel's tour of the east coast prior to heading for its permanent home sailing Hawaiian cruises.
Carnival, meanwhile, made no pretense of having actress Mira Sorvino fit a theme as Godmother of Carnival Liberty--they're just going for star power. Sorvino will have her chance to break the traditional bottle of champagne against the ship's bow in a naming ceremony in Civitavecchia (the port for Rome) on July 19.
As far as the arm wrestling? Our money's on Mighty Aphrodite.
