Port Canaveral will have one of its busiest weekends since the pandemic started. Cruise lines were shut down for over a year due to COVID.

“Over the next two to three weeks, you’re going to see a lot of activity of active sailings out of Port Canaveral. And that’s what’s got us excited right now,” said Canaveral Port Authority CEO Captain John Murray.

Work at Port Canaveral has been very slow over the last year. “It was very slow,” said Port Canaveral Manager Adam Der. “Sometimes a little boring, but you kind of keep busy and do what you do.”

He also shared that it’s exciting to see cruise ships return to the port. “It’s great to see, man. A lot of people looking forward to getting back on those cruises and having a good time.”

Will you be cruising again soon?
