Distinguished South Florida Philanthropist Tracy Wilson Mourning, Founder of
Honey Shine Mentoring Program, Officially Named Ship During Invitation-Only Ceremony
MIAMI
(Dec. 10, 2012) — The official naming ceremony for Carnival Cruise
Lines’ new Carnival Breeze took place Saturday, Dec. 8, at PortMiami. Serving as the ship’s godmother was Tracy Wilson Mourning,
founder of the Miami-based Honey Shine mentoring program, who initiated
the breaking of the traditional bottle of champagne on the ship’s hull
during the invitation-only event.
Following its inaugural season in Europe, the 130,000-ton Carnival
Breeze began sailing year-round six- and eight-day Caribbean
cruises from Miami Nov. 24, becoming the largest Carnival Cruise Lines
ship ever based in South Florida.
“Miami has been our home since our company was founded 40 years ago and
it’s truly an honor having a hometown hero like Tracy Wilson
Mourning – who has made such a tremendous impact on the lives of young
women in our community – serve as godmother to our newest and largest
Miami-based ship,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.
During the naming ceremony, Carnival presented a $25,000 donation to
Honey Shine, which pairs young girls with female role models
to empower young women and create future leaders in our communities
through a combination of classroom training, spiritual education and
collaborative experiences.
Carnival Breeze features a variety of exciting innovations
including the Thrill Theater, an immersive multidimensional experience
that makes viewers feel like part of the movie, as well as spectacular
exciting top-deck attractions like the WaterWorks water park and
SportSquare, an open-air recreation area with a suspended ropes course, a
two-level miniature golf course, and more. Delicious
dining choices include Bonsai Sushi, the line’s first full-service
sushi restaurant, a new outdoor barbecue venue called Fat Jimmy’s C-Side
BBQ, and Guy’s Burger Joint developed with Food Network personality Guy
Fieri.
The tropics-inspired interiors of Carnival Breeze celebrate the style
of its Caribbean destinations with vibrant interiors and inviting
public and open deck spaces, while its staterooms reflect a palate of
pastel hues inspired by cool Caribbean breezes and warm sunsets.
Carnival Breeze operates year-round six- and eight-day Caribbean
cruises from Miami, visiting some of the region’s most popular
and beautiful ports of call. Six-day sailings feature Grand Turk, Ocho
Rios, and Nassau. Three different eight-day itineraries are offered –
an exotic southern Caribbean schedule visiting Grand Turk, La Romana
(Dominican Republic), Curacao, and Aruba; an
eastern Caribbean route featuring St. Thomas/St. John, Antigua, Tortola
and Nassau; and an exotic eastern Caribbean program calling at Grand
Turk, San Juan, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten or Tortola.
