Well two of them actually, but it's nothing to do with smashing bottles of bubbly.
Costa Cruises is asking passengers to vote for the pair of names they prefer for the next two ship launching, in 2011 and 2012.
There are 25 pairs to choose from - Flora and Fauna (honest), Viva and Vera (I kid you not). Perla and Cristallo (sounds like a classy clothes joint but I rather like it) and Favolosa and Meravigliosa.
Favolosa and Meravigliosa. Really?
Maybe it's my pronounciation, but they sound uncannily like Meraviglia and Favolosa - the names MSC Cruises came up with for the new ships it planned build after MSC Magnifica (but which for the moment are on hold).
They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
