Not sure Jay Leno and younger guests align.... I'm doubtful many in the 20-30 age group really get much out of Jay Leno being linked to Carnival... my 2 cents... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarnivalShips480 Posted June 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2023 The reasoning is that the ship already has a godmother from when it was christened for Costa a few years ago, so now it will have a god father too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted June 2, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Let's hope that any mechanics working on the ship's maintenance won't be starting any fires like Jay did in his garage !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that doesn't jinx the ship A Godfather for a cruise ship is unusual, but not as unusual as a 'Godfamily' like Royal Caribbean did a few years ago with the Symphony of the Seas: Carlos and Alexa PenaVega, along with their 17-month-old son Ocean, have accepted the honor to be Godfamily of the world’s largest cruise ship, Symphony of the Seas https://www.royalcaribbeanpresscenter.com/press-release/1357/royal-caribbean-honors-actors-carlos-and-alexa-penavega-with-baby-son-ocean-as-first-ever-godfamily-for-global-cruise-line/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't change the fact that she had a 'Godfamily' instead of a Godmother or even a Godfather. . . . And the Wonder of the Seas is no longer the World's largest cruise ship. Yes, it is the largest cruise ship currently in operation, but the Icon of the Seas is already larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip1 Posted June 4, 2023 #22 Share Posted June 4, 2023 According to the press release Jay Leno is currently the producer and host of Jay Leno's Garage. I thought CNBC cancelled the show 3 or 4 months ago (around the time of his accident while working on one of his cars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
