Hi MadKitty,

 

Naming ceremony starts at 8pm.

 

Nothing yet on the P&O site but as it is likely to be a 'flash' page on the site so P&O can insert it very close to the time without too much difficulty.

 

I have to say the website is still currently showing that more information will be posted about the Naming Ceremony "nearer the time!" - can't get much nearer than now seeing as it is only 10 hours 30 minutes away.

There should also be an interview with Dame Helen on the One Show ( BBC1 7pm) and for those in the south there should be coverage from the day on the 6.30 BBC South news.

I cant get onto the site either, its stuck on 1 item remaining!!!!!

 

One of my friends is on board as we speak, its not fair!!!:(

[MJ1000]

Has anyone managed to get onto the website yet ?:(

[E201]

No not yet :( :( :(

[MJ1000]

Fingers crossed you will be able to replay the ceremony once it has finished !

[Sparkle 123]

How frustrating, I can't get anything either!!! Oh well, 2 weeks on Friday we will be on her for real!!!

Very interesting naming ceremony there, loved the 'James Bond' type theme (they seemed to pull it off!).

 

Did anyone manage to capture it? BBC South news had a nice feature aswell @ 6.30pm.

We watched the nameing and thought it was not very well done. Cheap if you ask me. Best part were the fireworks at the end.

[M62Man]

Just seen it - unbelieveably corny!. How stupid to have a spoof terrorist type plot/mini show to preface the actual bottle smashing.

Some one should have had a quiet word with Esdale and said not the best idea in the current climate! and not the sort of thing that future cruisers wish to see / be reminded of /or have brought to their attention - idiot.

Silly boy - He should get a job as a stand in for Mr Bean!

Hugely disappointed as had being looking forward to it - mrs M62 not impressed either!!!

:mad: :mad:

Hi fellow cruisers,

 

I've really been looking forward to that and I thought it was boring and a load of rubbish, apart from the fireworks. :(

 

I just hope the entertainment onboard isn't that tacky?:confused:

Don't worry you didn't miss much. But I loved Helen Mirren 's dress!

[sidari]

It was rather dissapointing..! and bitty...:(

[MeandHim2]

Thought it was well done and good PR, ok the fight scenes were a little too cheesy.... Actually they were very cheesy....:)

 

But they managed to get a lot of well known faces in there, spooks, moneypenny (where the he ll was dame Judy) and as for the Connery look alike with the 'Bu&&er Off.' Priceless.. Oh well, I enjoyed it..

What a sensational show. Certainly much more fun than the usual bottle ceremony. There are pictures at http://www.steve-read.co.uk/VenturaMirren

Thanks Steve for those great pictures, hopefully soon someone will post the video on You Tube for those of us who didnt get to see it!

Once again great pictures Steve, looked like a fun event. Is it not odd how you get someone comes on here and has a go, I bet most of their other posts are anti P&O as well.

 

I liked you photos of a C deck cabin showing the extra large balconies.

 

 

 

:):)Happy Cruising:):)

 

 

:cool:
