The ceremony involved with naming a ship is as old as… well, since humans first built a ship! Every culture has its version of the ceremony, some elaborate and some simple. Many are based in religion of some sort, asking the powers that be to keep a vessel safe throughout her time on the waters.

Recently, Elizabeth was invited to the naming ceremony for the new Celebrity Apex, and before that, she also got to experience the ceremony for the Symphony of the Seas, and she and I experienced the naming of the Norwegian Encore.
