Cruise Business Review reports that TUI Cruises, the German joint venture cruiseline created by Royal Caribbean Cruises and TUI AG, is to name its first ship - currently known as Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Galaxy - Mein Schiff in a ceremony on May 15.
The name was chosen in a competition that attracted more than 30,000 ideas from 11,000 people. TUI Cruises chief executive officer Richard J Vogel said several suggested Mein Schiff and it was chosen because it "expresses our core ideas of individuality and room to move".
Really? In my day at school it simply meant My Ship.
Question is, how bad the others were if this was deemed the best?
