THE humble celebration of National Watermelon Day may have gone unnoticed by many, but not the folks from Carnival Cruise Line.
This Sun, lovers of watermelon will celebrate their favourite large, edible fruit, and Carnival is joining in on the fun.
Staff on board the cruise line’s ships are spotlighting the day with incredible watermelon carvings (pictured), featuring designs including seahorses, tropical fish, and blooming floral designs.
Sous Chef Regie is one of Carnival’s masters behind the art – and it is also a personal passion project.
“Since I started carving watermelons, my first choice has always been sea creatures, especially seahorses, fish, and flowers,” he said.
“My personal favourite design to make is portraits, which I carve freehand.”
According to legend, watermelons are a ship-friendly fruit, while bananas are widely noted to be a bad omen while at sea.
