I'm a true blue "New Yawka" and Sex in the City fanatic, so I voted for Kim, natch!

 

Laura

[WackyHeathen]

James Stewart, Royal Viking Sun, 1989, see. He was the best there ever was, see. And if you think otherwise, see. You're mistaken, see!

I liked the one for Carnival Miracle. I forget her name but that girl soldier who was a prisoner of war when the war in Iraq first started.

 

Her first name is Jessica but I forget her last name.

[caviargal]

Gloria Estafan, Sovereign of the Seas.

sophia loren - looks and class also ,and a credit to any ship she sponsors; who needs an ex-con's picture on board any ship?:eek:

I remembered-Jessica Lynch. I just thought it was so nice they picked her after all she had been through.

Wacky, Jimmy and Gloria Stewart were actually godPARENTS and it was Gloria who cut the ribbon and christened the ship.

 

Daniel Inouye was the first real godfather in modern times, but at the last minute NCL America decided to call him "sponsor" and have six women pull the lever to break the bottle. It would have been bad luck for him to do it. The ceremony was so lovely and so poignant, though, that I ended up blubbering all over myself. It started when the band played Yankee Doodle Dandy. Go figure.

 

Leoandhugh, are you ever right. Sophia Loren is as beautiful at 71 as she was 30 years ago, and classy, classy, classy. She's the quintessential ship godmother.

Several favorite godmothers not on the poll list ........

 

"Princess Cruises has snagged some pretty big names for its christenings -- Audrey Hepburn for the Star Princess in 1989, Sophia Loren, appropriately, for the Crown Princess, the line's first Italian-built ship, Lady Margaret Thatcher for the Regal Princess in 1991. The real coup, however, was when Princess Diana christened the Royal Princess in 1984." (info from the Internet)

I'm sure you can tell from my Avatar, that I would vote for:

 

Tinker Bell as Godmother of the Disney Wonder! She's my girl.:D

[perkyblue]

Katarina Witt -- Voyager of the Seas

 

Come on, you've got an ex-con and random actresses on the poll, but not a two-time Olympic gold medalist? Katarina Witt is a much more impressive godmother than anyone else on the list. But then again, I am a figure skater and skating coach myself, so maybe I'm a little biased. ;)

[marty30907]

I vote for Dr. Sally Ride.

[ssbeagle]

I vote for the original Love Boat crew. The show made cruising what it is today.

[FrankCar]

Either Sophia Loren or Sophia Loren.

[flamomo]

Definitely NOT martha stewart..:( :( :( :(

(Actually, she could be considered the wicked stepmother.)

Sophia Loren should have christened the new Crown Princess. She christened the original Crown, and it would have been appropriate for her to christen this one too.

She is "class" personified.

Ms. stewart could never match that.
