A New Jersey mom that has sailed with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) since she was a child was named the Norwegian Gem’s godmother. During an onboard ceremony in Manhattan on Tuesday, 31-year old Cindy Cardella was chosen from among five finalists from an online video contest NCL held to find a past guest to be named godmother for the last NCL Jewel-class ship.

Cardella’s video submission highlighted the 31 cruises she had been on since childhood. Cardella had received 10,000 votes from the public to earn her crown.
