Royal Caribbean has announced the winner of its “Wonder Mom” TikTok contest, who will serve as godmother of its new ship Wonder of the Seas.

Pennsylvania mom and cancer survivor Marie McCrea was nominated by her daughter and chosen from a number of finalists by Royal Caribbean to be the ship’s godmother. She will bless Wonder of the Seas during the naming ceremony at Port Canaveral on December 9th.

Wonder of the Seas is the fifth vessel in the Oasis class, and is currently the largest cruise ship in the world. She is currently operating a year-round schedule of seven-night eastern and western Caribbean cruises.
