The mother and newborn are doing well, they added. In a fitting tribute to her aerial arrival, the new parents have named their baby Sky.
Serendipitously, Christine Anne and John were scheduled to travel on another flight a few days before – “but apparently it was all meant to be,” the Carnival spokesperson said.
