ONTD Original: Celebrity Cruise Ship Godparents

Feb 07, 2024 16:21

Did you know that it is a tradition for ships to have a godmother (or, more recently, godparent given that now men are being invited to serve in the role)? This is true for most ships - in many Navies around the world, ships have a sponsor and Godmother, often someone related to the person the ship is named for or with connections to the place it ( Read more... )

Lol right when i post a cruise post, there is cruise celebrity news on Variety lol (and a throwback to my theme cruises post)

https://variety.com/2024/shopping/news/love-boat-themed-cruise-buy-tickets-online-1235901460/

Who wants to go spend a week with the cast of the original Love Boat and the bartender from the reality dating love boat show (who is actually a Princess employee iirc).

These posts make me want to go on cruises again! Do you have a favorite cruise line, OP?

Lol Celebrity but i once creepily watched the Scarlet Lady's deck activities from the next ship over and i want to try them. But their pool is tiny. Plus: it's adults only, but lbr my Celebrity cruise had 6 kids on it and i only ever saw 2. Celebrity is not really a family line.

Celebrity was my first cruise and I LOVED it, although I think part of that was all the people I was with (I was in my 20s at the time). I've only ever actually sailed on one other cruise, with Royal Caribbean, and had a great time there too.

I am so out of the cruising loop I had to look up the Scarlet Lady. I love the idea of an adults only cruise.

Virgin is also very left-wing you might say in its entertainment and theme. They appeal to younger people who are educated, affluent, and don't vote Trump. Think drag queens, sexy shows, a tattoo studio onboard, and stuff that appeals to hip young city folk. Celebrity leans older but also classy. NCL i got into an argument in a hot tub with a MAGA guy before my mom dragged me away and he wasn't alone. Also my celebrity ship was their second oldest and not renovated but i still had a grand time and stuffed my face with lobster and steak and beef wellington and baked alaska.

ETA i will have to do it on my computer and not phone but i have a weird story about my childhood that always made Celebrity my favorite even before i ever took a cruise.

When I became my niece's godparent, I didn't get to smash a bottle of champagne on her. Unfair! I just got to hold her while she cried and I rejected Satan in her name.

Next time just drink the champagne and then break the bottle on her car seat when she gets promoted to a booster.

I'm high and at first I thought this was about cruises that have a thing where a celeb can become your godparent. Like how captains can marry people. It's like photo ops at a con but crazier

Well, I did make a post in the past about theme cruises - particularly ones with celebs involved - and I'm sure that has happened on one LMAO.
