I was just at the Christening ceremony for Epic hosted by Jeff Garlin from HBO etc, and Reba McEntire.
The show featured all of the entertainment from the ship, Blue Man Group, Cirque Dreams, Second City, Howlin at the Moon, etc. It was once of the best, funniest and well-written christenings I have ever seen.
OK - it was a bit of a commerical for the ship, bbuit that is OK, it qwas tastefully done and veru entertaining. Rebe was on just 5 minutes, but she is so darling she is irresitable.
Anyway - the official press cruise begins NOW. I am on with a lot of press I know and recognize, especially from my NY days; Ted Scull, Sam & Arline Bleecker, Kay Showker. If you read cruise articles you know these people.
I have already seen the ship and all the entertainment. I hope you got to see the webcast of the christening - it is a sample of all the entertainment onboard. If not - go to NCL:.com and I am sure you will be able to see a re-cast of it within an hour or so.
