Regal Princess met the water for the first time in a traditional shipyard ceremony in Italy yesterday (March 26) featuring “Madrina” Carolyn Spencer Brown, shown here with Princess executive vice-president Rai Caluori. The ship will now be moved to the outfitting dock where final construction and interior outfitting will take place. The 3,600-passenger Regal Princess, a sister ship to the soon-to-debut Royal Princess, will debut in June 2014 with a season of Mediterranean cruises.
