On March 1, 2012, Disney Cruise Line held the christening ceremony for the new Disney Fantasy cruise ship docked in New York Harbor. The two-party ceremony began with a musical show inside the ship’s Walt Disney Theatre hosted by actor Neil Patrick Harris (that also featured comedian Jerry Seinfeld) and concluded in the ship’s atrium with Disney CEO Bob Iger, Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs, actor/musician Nick Cannon, and his wife and godmother of the ship, Mariah Carey. Mickey and Minnie Mouse were also on hand to help christen the ship.
Here’s a gallery of photos previewing the new Disney Fantasy as it near completion. Gene Sloan from USA Today went on a recent tour. Check it out.
