Jun 28 2023

Beloved late actor Chadwick Boseman is set to receive a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after having passed away back in August of 2020.

Boseman passed away from colon cancer at the age of 43 and became world known for portraying Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe between 2016 and 2019.

His death shocked the entire world, especially Marvel fans, with the second instalment into the Black Panther saga dedicated to the actor and his passing.

Boseman will be receiving the star along with Michelle Yeoh, Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Gwen Stefani and many others.

‘The Selection Committee, which is made up of fellow Walk of Famers, carefully hand-picks a group of honorees each year that represent various genres of the entertainment world,’ said Chair and Walk of Fame, Ellen K, in a press release.

The announcement that Boseman will be receiving his own star went down very well with people, with many baffled that the actor hadn’t received his star sooner.

Royal Caribbean’s highly anticipated cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, is nearing its grand debut in January 2024, having successfully completed its initial sea trials in Europe.

This extraordinary vessel is poised to become the world’s largest cruise ship and the first of Royal Caribbean’s Icon-class fleet. Built at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, the ship promises an unparalleled experience for vacationers.

It boasts the world’s largest waterpark at sea, featuring six water slides, along with a “resort getaway,” a “beach escape,” a theme park, and over 40 dining, drinking, and entertainment options.

Inside, passengers will find the unique “Ultimate Family Townhouse,” a three-story adventure-filled accommodation complete with an in-suite slide, karaoke station, and hidden areas to explore.

With 20 decks, the ship also features Royal Caribbean’s inaugural piano bar, eight distinct neighbourhoods, a massive pool, and thrilling experiences like Crown’s Edge.

Weighing in at an estimated 250,800 tons and accommodating approximately 5,610 passengers and 2,350 crew members, the ship has undergone rigorous testing, involving over 450 specialists, to ensure its readiness. Additional sea trials are planned later this year before the ship’s inaugural voyage from South Florida in January 2024.
