CARNIVAL Vista’s godmother has been named as Miss USA Deshauna Barber (pictured).
Barber became the first woman serving in the US military to win the title earlier this year.
She will officially name the 133,500-tonne vessel during a ceremony that is part of an gala event honouring Operation Homefront and featuring a concert by Carrie Underwood.
“Deshauna is the ideal candidate to serve as Carnival Vista’s godmother, embodying the spirit of commitment and sacrifice to those who protect our freedom each and every day,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
“Carnival is a longtime supporter of the military carrying more active and retired Armed Forces personnel than any other cruise line so it’s our honor and privilege to have Deshauna serve as godmother.”
