Despite it being the week of Thanksgiving, there has still been Carnival Cruise news to recap & highlight for the week. Check out the post below for some of the notable Carnival Cruise news highlights from this past week.
Highlights From This Week:
Carnival Celebration Completes Transatlantic Cruise & Arrives In Miami For Naming Ceremony
The Carnival Celebration launched earlier in November 2022 and started with a 14 night transatlantic cruise that ended in Miami, Florida on Sunday, November 20, 2022. On the evening of the ship's arrival in Miami, Carnival hosted the naming ceremony for the Carnival Celebration. The Naming Ceremony had special appearances made by Christine Duffy (Carnival Cruise Line President), Cassidy Gifford (Ship's Godmother), Kathy Lee Gifford (Godmother of original M/S Celebration), and Kool & The Gang.
One notable feature of the naming ceremony is the traditional breaking of the champagne bottle. The bottle broke and hopefully this means the ship will have a lifetime of good luck!
