 The big news yesterday was without a doubt the christening and maiden voyage of Disney Cruise Line's brand-new Disney Dream.  At 1,115 feet in length and capable of carrying up to 4,000 guests, the ship is the first newbuild for Disney since the launch of the Disney Wonder in 1999.

The ship was officially inagurated by godmother Jennifer Hudson in a lavish ceremony at the line's purpose-built terminal in Port Canaveral, Florida with hundreds of journalists, media, and guests in attendance.
 
The ship then set sail on a short preview cruise to the line's private island in the Bahamas - Castaway Cay.  Disney Dream will then begin her regular schedule of three and four-night Bahamian cruises on Friday.

Can't be there in person?  Don't worry - neither can we.  But Disney just released a plethora of mouth-watering images yesterday, and we'll take a look at some of the ship's more fascinating and unique areas tomorrow - here, on From the Deck Chair.
