Carnival Cruise Line is expanding its popular “Carnival Live Spotlight Series,” which brings guest singers on board for select sailings.

Guests will now have more opportunities to see performances by guest singers, including some they might recognize from reality TV competition shows.

For example, Omar Cardona, a finalist of NBC's "The Voice," recently performed on Carnival Venezia.

“We’re building on the success of the program thanks to positive guest feedback since its launch last year,” says Chris Nelson, vice president of entertainment at Carnival Cruise Line.

“The best way to exceed our guests’ expectations is to deliver something unexpected, and our Carnival Live Spotlight Series performances do just that. Each one is a great value-add to our industry-leading entertainment," Nelson continued.
