Ms. Harden will name the new ship in a gala event next Thursday in New York City.

In honor of Carnival Dream's arrival, the Tony Award-winning actress will unveil Carnival's Big Book of Dreams - measuring 15.5 feet high by 20 feet wide - in New York City's Rockefeller Center today and will conduct a special reading of the larger-than-life story to dozens of schoolchildren. Inspired by the imaginative dreams of children who sailed on Carnival Cruise Lines this spring, "The Dream Plucker of Perrysport" tells the tale of a group of young friends who find themselves on a unique adventure after they encounter a furry orange monster in a quest to remember their dreams. The book will remain on display at Rockefeller Center November 6 and 7 as part of a series of free, activity-filled Carnival "Dream Big" events for the whole family.
