It took 16 months -- 16 l-o-n-g months -- for The Port of Galveston to see a cruise ship cast off carrying hundreds and hundreds of happy passengers. March, 2020 was the last time Galveston got to see a cruise ship fade in the sunset.
Today (7-3-2021) is a Good Day for Galveston!
The Carnival Vista brought in lots of business to Galveston in the last couple of days. Restaurants, Bars, Retail Businesses, Transportation and Tourist-oriented businesses all saw business from the passengers - and the port and city fared well from taxes and other payments involved!
Even better, the Carnival Breeze will depart from the same port in less than 2 weeks: Thursday, July 15!
