YouTube Video Description

On December 12, 2021, Carnival Cruise Line's newly rebuilt CARNIVAL RADIANCE arrived in Long Beach for a gala christening by Dr. Lucille O' Neal, mother of NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal, who is also Carnival Cruise Line's designated "Chief Fun Officer". The entire O'Neal family was on hand for the event, including Shaq, who cut the ribbon for his latest Big Chicken restaurant on board the ship. In addition to the highlights of the ribbon cutting and christening ceremonies, this video also includes the CARNIVAL RADIANCE's arrival, exchange of salutes with departing fleetmate CARNIVAL MIRACLE and a quick tour of some of the completely reimagined spaces and deck areas on board. #carnival #carnivalcruises #carnivalradiance #carnivalmiracle #shaquilleoneal #lucilleoneal #bigchicken
