calmac Posted October 27, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Spotted this on the news section of CC While in some cases, cruise line picks for godmothers cause your head to swivel in a "huh" kind of move, this one makes perfect sense. Norwegian Cruise Line has deeded that job for its newest ship -- Norwegian Pearl, debuting Saturday, December 16 -- to Rosie O'Donnell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobiecruiser Posted October 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What does the godmother of a ship do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimomiller Posted October 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2006 All you have to do is charter their ships for cruises with all your friends and family a couple times and voila, you are a godmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey and Kerry Posted October 27, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Wonder if she'll switch her yearly charter on the Dawn to the Pearl - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted October 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Good for her. At least the Rosie cruises were family orientated. The pictures of the Dawn were clearly a good experience. Would I go on such a cruise...sure but they are far too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsea Posted October 27, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Guess I''ll never be sailing on the Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted October 27, 2006 #7 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Guess I''ll never be sailing on the Pearl. Why Is the fact that Martha Stewart was the Crown Princess's Godmother any different? Does it matter who the God mother is any way. I hear RC will be having the Bears name their next ship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never like Martha but I do think she got a raw deal(mostly caused by her own ego) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted October 27, 2006 #10 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Does it matter who the God mother is any way. . I'm with you Sid. I've never worried about who the GodMother of a ship is and get totally confused when I hear things such as "Well if that's the Godmother of the ship, I'll never sail that one". But it does happen from time to time. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Cruise4Ever Posted October 27, 2006 #20 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I hate Rosie, but it does not surprise me! I can't stand her either, but she has been a good marketeer for NCL with her charters every year. Would I book a cruise with her charter? Not in a million years. But, she's done good for NCL. It doesn't surprise me, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakechef Posted October 27, 2006 #21 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Good for Rosie, Can she be brash and annoying....yes! Has she done alot of good in this world.....yes! Like with Martha Stewart, Rosie is a powerful opinionated woman, often villified for their success, there is a double standard on this one, men are looked up to, women are considered B**ches.;) As far as kim Catrall, being the godmother of the dawn, not sure on that one, maybe to give a hip sexy appeal to the dawn.

brendajv Posted October 27, 2006 #22 Share Posted October 27, 2006 ..."if it weren't for low class, some people would have no class at all..." That really sums up my opinion of Rosie O'Donnell. Admitting up front that she is among my least favorite celebrities, I must say that that it's rather puzzling to see a corporate decision honoring someone as offensive and shrill as Rosie.... Who's next: Tom Cruise??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claudie Posted October 28, 2006 #23 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I'm not a Rosie fan. I could care less about who NCL appoints as godmother. We'll continue to cruise with NCL because so far we haven't had any complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted October 28, 2006 #24 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Who really cares who the godmother of a ship is? Perhaps for a moment it might be a newsworthy item, but why would it have any bearing on whether one books a specific ship or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
