Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC), the Bahamian producer of Coca-Cola and Dasani products, partnered with Carnival Cruise Line for the opening of its $600m Celebration Key private cruise port.

Cara Douglas-Adderley, senior marketing director for Caribbean Bottling Company and Caribbean Wines & Spirits, said: “We are thrilled to have Carnival’s Celebration Key as a partner property.... We are proud to be their preferred partner and offer a beverage line up that provides Bahamian authenticity for their destination while supporting their global brand demands.”

Besides Celebration Key purchasing all Coca-Cola products directly from Caribbean Bottling Company, the latter said it has made a substantial investment at the project with its drink dispensing equipment. It added that its technical team spent weeks preparing, with teams brought in from Nassau to assist.

Caribbean Bottling Company said it also produced limited-edition Celebration Key and Coca-Cola 12 ounce cans and cups to mark the project’s opening. Both cans and cups featured the Celebration Key logo, the tagline ‘Your key to paradise’, and the date.

Cups were only made available for the opening event. However, the cans are still available for a limited time in Grand Bahama only.
