Before that happened last Friday, a ceremony was held aboard the Carnival Breeze at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. In a time-honored maritime tradition, a commemorative coin was welded to the ship’s mast to mark the occasion.

Carnival Breeze is scheduled to enter service June 3, 2012, with a special 12-day cruise from Venice to Barcelona, positioning the vessel for a summer schedule of 12-day Mediterranean cruises. Following its trans-Atlantic crossing, Carnival Breeze will launch year-round 6- and 8-day Caribbean cruises from Miami on Nov 24, 2012, becoming the largest Carnival ship to ever sail from that port.
Take a look at the float out and welding of the coin.
