Adding a Little Variety to the Christening
German model and TV host Lena Gercke christened AIDAperla tonight at Palma de Mallorca in a ceremony that offered a touch of the unexpected. In the end, though, AIDA's twelfth ship was officially named, there was champagne running down the side of the ship, and a ton of fireworks overhead. The party aboard may still be going on.
Tweet a Burger
Here's something you can do to appropriately celebrate the holiday, and support the US military via Operation Homefront and Carnival Cruise Line. Carnival and Operation Homefront are holding the first “social media-powered BBQ” for military members.
Your role is to post messages of thanks or support to our military members on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #ThankYouBurger
Carnival will put your message on a bun with a laser and they'll then put a burger on that bun and hand it to a service man or woman at a giant barbeque on July 5 on the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. As the cruise line that sails the most military personnel, Carnival will also donate $1 (up to $25,000) for each post received with the hashtag.
So what are you waiting for? Tweet a burger or two to a Marine with a message of support. It's another great way to celebrate the Fourth.

There Is Now Fun in Cuba
In case you didn't have your calendar marked, today was the day Carnival's first ever cruise sailed to Cuba, and probably by the time you're reading this, Carnival Paradise will be docked in Havana. The FunShips have arrived!
This is the first of 12 four- and five-night cruises Carnival has scheduled from Tampa. The four-night cruises, like today's, are simple round trips to Havana, while the five-night itineraries add a call in Key West or Cozumel. They will operate approximately twice a month.
