Carnival Magic Joins Carnival Valor, Carnival Victory, and Carnival Sunshine
to Offer Widest Variety of Cruise Lengths and Itineraries from Space Coast
MIAMI – Carnival Cruise Line and the Canaveral Port
Authority have celebrated the arrival
of the Space Coast’s newest ship, the 130,000-ton Carnival Magic.
As well, they marked the official grand opening of the ship’s new Guy’s Pig & Anchor
Bar-B-Que Smokehouse designed by Food Network star Guy Fieri.
A portside event was highlighted by the carving of a massive,
six-foot-long pulled pork sandwich by officials from Carnival and the
port to commemorate the debut of Fieri’s new BBQ venue which was
installed during a multi-million-dollar dry dock.
The
event also included a traditional maritime plaque exchange between
Carnival Magic Captain Antonio Marchetti, Carnival’s Vice President of
Commercial Port Operations Carlos Torres de Navarra and Captain John
Murray, chief executive officer of the Canaveral Port Authority.
Carnival
Magic is the newest Carnival ship to sail from Port Canaveral, joining
Carnival Victory and Carnival Valor on year-round departures from the
Space Coast, as well as the Carnival Sunshine which operates seasonal
sailings.
