What Happens When a Cruise Ship Is Delivered?

The Chantiers de l'Atlantique yard delivered the 171,598-gross ton MSC Bellissima to MSC Cruises today in Saint-Nazaire (France), meaning the ship was completed by the builder, the cruise line has checked it over in detail and agrees it was completed to their satisfaction and they have provided payment to the yard. So what happens during that magic moment when the half-billion-dollar (olus) piece of equipment officially changes hands? Are there orchestra's playing? Fireworks? Sumptuous catering? This video shows you that moment. It's probably not all you expect. This video show you exactly how it happened.
