Default DIAMOND PRINCESS godmother named!

Yoshiko Tsukuda will name DIAMOND PRINCESS on February 26. The choice is
certainly not as exciting as previous Princess godmothers, which have
included Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, and Margaret
Thatcher.

================
Mitsubishi chief's wife to name Diamond Princess
16/2/2004

Yoshiko Tsukuda, whose husband is Kazuo Tsukuda, the president of Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, will serve as the godmother of the new Diamond Princess.
The ship's Feb. 26 naming ceremony in Nagasaki will take place at a downtown
pier directly across the bay from the Mitsubishi yard where Diamond Princess
was built and will feature traditional Japanese elements including dance,
music and dress.
Peter Ratcliffe, ceo of Princess Cruises, said the ceremony 'will launch
Diamond Princess in unique style, and will also celebrate the value we place
on our relationship with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.'

A high-profile event in Japan, the naming is expected to attract significant
media attention. In addition to Ratcliffe, the festivities will be attended
by other senior Princess executives as well as Carnival Corp. officials
including chairman Micky Arison.

On Feb. 27, the Diamond Princess will depart for Los Angeles, where it will
debut March 13 with cruises to the Mexican Riviera.
