First-Ever Godfamily for Global Cruise Line
They said “ YES !” Actors and avid Royal Caribbean International fans Carlos and Alexa PenaVega , along with their 17-month-old son Ocean , have accepted the honour to be Godfamily of the world ’ s largest cruise ship , Symphony of the Seas . Royal Caribbean “ popped the question ” to the PenaVegas while the adventure-loving family was on board Symphony ’ s sister ship , Harmony of the Seas , to film Hallmark Channel ’ s Love at Sea – starring the couple opposite each other .
The young family has first-hand expertise on the distinct combination of high-energy experiences only found on Royal Caribbean , having celebrated a number of milestones on the award-winning Oasis Class ships , including getting engaged on Oasis of the Seas and spending their babymoon on Allure of the Seas . Royal Caribbean ’ s nearly 25- year relationship with Carlos began on his first cruise when he was just 4 years old , only to be beat by son Ocean , who sailed for the first time
at 13 months . The PenaVegas are globetrotters who inspire families as they explore and open themselves to a variety of the world ’ s most exciting cultures , foods and experiences . In November 2018 , Carlos , Alexa and Ocean will be the first family to have the honour of naming Symphony of the Seas and bestowing a blessing for the safekeeping of her crew and guests during a formal ceremony when she arrives to her permanent home in Miami . Beginning 9 November Miami will become Symphony of the Seas ’ year-round homeport , making Symphony the first new Oasis Class ship to sail from the cruise capital of the world and Royal Caribbean ’ s new state-of-the-art Terminal A .
