ARCADIA HAND OVER FROM 20 MARCH..

I read this on cruise connections:

Fincantieri will officially handover Arcadia to P&O Cruises on March
20. She will be named on the evening of April 12 at a yet undisclosed
location.

All invited guests have to embark by 5:00pm at The Mayflower Cruise
Terminal

The ship will then depart to the 'naming celebration location' at
which guests will disembark for a shoreside gala reception, which
will take place between 7:30-8:30pm. Then she returns to Mayflower
Cruise Terminal

Any ideas where the naming celebration will be? Surely they can't be
just going to the QE2 terminal to tie up, get everybody off, name the
ship and then return to the Mayflower terminal? I notice Oriana is
in the QE2 terminal until 5pm so they could have swapped the two
ships locations easily.

Any ideas??
