As football fans gear up for the Super Bowl this weekend, Carnival Cruise Line hosted a student Q&A session at Long Beach’s Polytechnic High School Thursday with NFL quarterback Justin Herbert and Carnival President Christine Duffy.

Members of the Long Beach Poly varsity football team and students of the school’s PAC RIM business pathway and Female Leadership Academy had the opportunity to ask Herbert and Duffy questions.

$15,000 donation

To support the Long Beach Poly Football team and help with their current fundraising efforts for CIF Championship rings for all team members, Carnival presented the team with a $15,000 donation and Herbert contributed a signed football and jersey to be auctioned.  

Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, Long Beach Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Jill Baker and Board Member Erik Miller were also in attendance. 

Three Fun Ships

Carnival operates three ships from the Port of Long Beach.

Herbert, who plays for the Los Angeles Chargers, is also appearing in a Pepsi-Carnival sweepstakes giving cruise rookies the opportunity to win a free cruise.
