ABOARD CELEBRITY REFLECTION -- The fifth and final ship in Celebrity's Solstice-class fleet is official. Celebrity Reflection had its "coming out" party this past weekend in Miami, including a naming ceremony that featured the ship's four Godmothers. It was a very special occasion for a a very special ship, the "crown jewel" in Celebrity's fleet.

Each Godmother is a Celebrity employee whose life has been touched by breast cancer. Attendees included Celebrity executives, previous ship Godmothers and the St. Andrews Bagpipe Band of Miami, who also helped christen Oasis of the Seas. Another nice moment was the singing of the American and Greek national anthems by the ship's officers, and a clever twist on the traditional champagne breaking via ribbons to the stage.
