Lindsey Wikerson, Captain Giovanni Cutugno, John Heald.

At the naming ceremony for the Carnival Magic Sunday, May 1, 2011, in Venice, Italy, Lindsey Wilkerson, left, former patient of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and now an employee and an ambassador of the organization; and and Carnival Magic Captain Giovanni Cutugno push a button that released a traditional bottle of champagne across the ship’s bow. Behind is John Heald, Carnival's senior cruise director. The choice of Wilkerson as godmother is a tribute to Carnival’s ongoing partnership with St. Jude, one of the world’s premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic diseases. The 130,000-ton Carnival Magic is to operate a schedule of seven- to 12-day Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona this summer before repositioning to Galveston, Texas, for year-round seven-day Caribbean departures in November.
