After leaving Costa Europa, soon to be Thomson Dream, in Barcelona, I managed to sneak in a day at World Travel Market, where I was hosting a cruise session, and now I am in New York, where Carnival Cruise Line's newest ship, Carnival Dream, is being named on Thursday.
As well as watching the ceremony, and seeing godmother, actress and New Yorker Marcia Gay Harden cut the ribbon, I'll be joining the ship for a two-night cruise to nowhere.
Internet willing, there'll be news and pictures from the ceremony and also from the Carnival Dream itself.
The burning question now is, what will designer Joe Farcus have come up with this time? Keep checking back and you'll find out.
