To celebrate Thanksgiving and the arrival of its newest cruise ship, Carnival Breeze, to Miami, Carnival Cruise Lines is donating 137,500 meals to Feeding South Florida and erecting a 50-foot-tall inflatable turkey atop the ship. The 1,250-pound nylon turkey — wearing a straw beach hat and colourful Hawaiian shirt — is scheduled to be on display today (Nov. 21), in time for holiday festivities. The giant fowl will sit 14 storeys above the waterline and gaze toward nearby McArthur Causeway until just before the ship makes its inaugural sailing from Miami on Thanksgiving Day.
