Carnival Celebration Names Cassidy Gifford as Godmother
Carnival Cruise Line has announced that Kathie Lee Gifford's daughter, actress Cassidy Gifford, will serve as godmother of its newest ship, Carnival Celebration. Kathie was surprised by the news from her mother, who was the godmother of Carnival Celebration's namesake, the MS Celebration, christened in 1987. Her mother has been a spokesperson for Carnival in the company's TV campaigns since the 80s, which were the first such networks to broadcast commercials for the cruise industry.
