Carnival Cruise Line has named actor Jonathan Bennett as godfather of Carnival Firenze.
Carnival Firenze will be christened in Long Beach on April 24 by Bennett and will sail year-round Long Beach cruises, on three to seven-day Baja Mexico and Mexican Riviera itineraries.
Bennett is a seasoned television actor and appeared in the ‘Mean Girls’ movie 20 years ago.
He has starred in multiple feature films and hosted shows for the Food Network.
The 5,260-guest Carnival Firenze is the second ship to transfer to the Carnival fleet from sister line Costa Cruises, after Carnival Venezia.
“Jonathan is a true brand ambassador and embodies the Carnival style of fun,” said Christine Duffy, president at Carnival Cruise Line.
The naming ceremony will be livestreamed on Carnival’s Facebook page.
