MSC World America’s Godmother, Drew Barrymore has officially named the ship at a glamorous event with the maritime tradition of cutting a ribbon and triggering the breaking of a champagne bottle over the ship’s bow. Barrymore was joined by Orlando Bloom, who co-stars with her in the company’s “Lets Holiday” campaign that debuted during the Big Game.
