She will name the ship at New York’s Brooklyn Cruise Terminal during a June 14 ceremony. The naming will be the first at the Brooklyn facility. That same evening the 3,080-berth Crown Princess will sail on its maiden voyage, kicking off a summer season of roundtrip nine-day Caribbean cruises.

Not really. She is a brilliant driven woman who went from being a fashion model in the 1960s (during college), to a highly paid trader on Wall Street in the 1970s. She later opened her own catering company in the New York area and from there became a lifestyle icon in the States. Her credits include several cook books/lifestyle books, a magazine, a line of household items at a large chain store and several TV shows. She went to prison recently for selling a stock she had prior knowledge was about to fall in value. The person who purchased it through a broker lost over $200,000 (which is pocket change for her). She claimed ignorance but being a highly paid stock trader in her past, she knew exactly what she was doing and the jury agreed. She is in the process of rebuilding her reputation and very successful career.
