Celebrity Reflection

Last week’s trivia question was a tough one which may have required a bit of research for some of you.  The question was:  “Celebrity Reflection has four godmothers.  What do they have in common?”  Either of the following qualifies as the correct answer:

– They are all employees of Celebrity or Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (Celebrity’s parent company), or;

– Either they or someone in their immediate family is a breast cancer survivor.

Congratulations to our $25 gift card winner,  Marv Dubin of Blue Bell, PA, whose name was selected from the 8 correct responses.

The breast cancer cause is one that has been adopted across the Celebrity brand, according to Richard Fain, Chariman of Celebrity Cruises and Chariman & CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.  Celebrity Cruises’ support of the cause began in 2008 with an event on Celebrity Solstice to raise funds for breast cancer screengs for low-income women.  Since then, Celebrity has shown it’s support through multiple other initiatives, both outside of and on board Celebrity ships. 

Of the four employee godmothers, two can be found aboard Celebrity ships.  Megan Mathie is a glassblowing artist who has been aboard Celebrity Eclipse and Celebrity Solstice.  In honor of her mother and sister, both breast cancer survivors, on every cruise she and her team host a “Hot Pink Glass Show” where she shares her story with her audience and through her art.  Javanka Goronjic, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, was AquaSpa Manager aboard Celebrity Constellation before joining Celebrity Reflection for the inaugural sail. In a tribute to her mother, Jovanka donated her hair for the creation of wigs for cancer patients.
