Godmother wanted for Harmony of the Seas
Royal Caribbean has launched a search in South Florida for an inspirational godmother for its new ship Harmony of the Seas.
The cruise line has joined forces with a local television station to find a local woman who ‘is inspiring the next generation to think differently and challenge the status quo’.
South Florida residents have been encouraged to visit www.local10.com/godmother and nominate a mentor or teacher whose ‘passion for education and a brighter future inspires students to make a positive impact on the world’.
The chosen one will be honoured as godmother of Harmony of the Seas during the ship’s official naming ceremony on November 10.
She will also be awarded a $25,000 grant to fund initiatives at her school or organisation.
She will also be able to host a ‘field trip’ for those whose lives she has influenced as her guests at the Harmony of the Seas naming ceremony and will get a free seven-night cruise for two on board the ship.
"Royal Caribbean’s legacy is built on a dream that began in a small trailer on Biscayne Boulevard," said Royal Caribbean president and CEO Michael Bayley.
"That’s why, when we thought about the godmother for Harmony of the Seas, a ship that is not just the world’s largest, but the ultimate expression of our history and future, we knew that we wanted to pay tribute to our roots and community with this designation. Who better to welcome Harmony home than an outstanding woman who is inspiring the dreamers and innovators of South Florida’s next generation."
Harmony of the Seas will make her US debut this November when she arrives into her new homeport of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale and will offer seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean saililngs.
