On 5th November the 142,714gt/2014 built Regal Princess was officially named by the cast of the iconic TV show The Love Boat that made the 1971 built Island Princess (now the Amen bound for Alang?) and Pacific Princess, recently scrapped at Aliaga, in to household names.

A total of 6 former cast members presided over the ceremony as the ship’s godparents where a record breaking 50 Champagne bottles were used to christen the ship to commemorate Princess Cruises’ 50th Anniversary followed by the breaking of a giant Nebuchadnezzar-size 51st bottle signifying Princess Cruises’ continued future success.
