amajaa Posted August 7, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Yes I was watching it earlier. I was wondering why she hasn’t got her name on her side or are they waiting for the Naming Ceremony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why she hasn’t got her name on her side or are they waiting for the Naming Ceremony Her name does not really stand out written on the bow of the ship, almost gets lost in the flag painted on her . As far as I'm aware she has had her naming ceremony (Dame Irene Hays ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SarahHben Posted August 7, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I’m watching now, waving goodbye to Jane on Virtuosa. I’m having a large gin so it’s quite possible that I’m waving to the wrong ship 🥴 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britboys Posted August 7, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just watched it. What a disappointment for anyone watching in Southampton. No fireworks, no streamers, nada...👎😕. Sincerely hope it was more exciting for those on-board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy I love the purple where the glass windows are in the atrium. And the sky dome looked very snazzy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted August 7, 2021 #18 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) She needed a brass band like the olden days to make it special........ Then again we were on Celebrity Silhouettes first proper cruise and there wasnt even a deck party so its nothing new to play it down and that was before a pandemicwand now am guessing they don't want people gathering...

bobstheboy Posted August 8, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I watched it on You Tube, the pictures were good but neither of the commentators had a clue about Iona, especially the "expert" Emma, who didn't even know how many decks there were ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
