Happy Mothers Day! All the moms out there deserve a big hug, thank you and hopefully a cruise too.
Speaking of moms, Royal Caribbean went the extra step this week by announcing the first ever Godfamily of a cruise ship when it chose Carlos and Alexa PenaVega's family to be the Godfamily of Symphony of the Seas.
Royal Caribbean says they picked this family because they have celebrated a number of family firsts on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class ships, as well as personify the spirit of the new ship, redefining the way families stay and play.
The family will have the honor of formally naming Symphony when she arrives to her permanent home in Miami in November.
