Carnival Cruise Line has announced the name of the retail portal at its new exclusive destination on Grand Bahama, Celebration Key. The portal, Lokono Cove, was chosen through a community competition supported by the Ministry for Grand Bahama and the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture. Local resident Deidre Rahming submitted the winning name; Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy made the announcement at the Seatrade Cruise Global conference in Miami Beach.
Carnival Cruise Line Honors Bahamians
The name Lokono, meaning “the people,” is derived from the Lucayans, one of the first communities to call Grand Bahama home. Historians describe the Lucayans as skilled artisans excelling in basket weaving, pottery and painting.
