There is only one Ali, one Elvis, one Pele, one Madonna, one Tiger. Last names are immaterial, or unnecessary. In the cruise world, there is only one Epic (or about to be) and in country music there is only one Reba. Put them together and you have the godmother of Norwegian’s newest and biggest ship.
The Norwegian Epic makes its grand entrance in New York City, where its godmother parlayed her starring role on Broadway in Annie Get Your Gun into a TV show that everybody knows…by its one name. 
On July 2nd, it’s Reba who will christen the Epic, just before it hosts the July 4th Macy’s fireworks show, just before it leaves Miami on its first voyage into Caribbean waters, just before it introduces the world to impersonators at sea named Elvis and Madonna.
We have seen Reba as Annie, on Broadway. We have seen the TV show. We have seen her in concert. This makes us one of thousands of couples who have seen that Reba tripleheader. So isn’t Norwegian just capitalizing on her widespread popularity as a country music queen and acting star in naming her the ship’s godmother?
Not really.
Apparently, Reba and Mr. Reba (his name is Narvel) like Freestyle Cruising and while on the Norwegian Gem in the Mediterranean, they met the company’s CEO, Kevin Sheehan. With a new flagship soon to be launched, what CEO would miss an opportunity like that?
Oh, and her last name? McEntire, but did you really need to ask?
That’s it…we’re done.
