We went into Galveston for dinner and the Bon Voyage party for the Vista, on the wharf tonight.
Complete with flags, dignitaries and the press, we watched the first ship from the cruise line to sail from a U.S. port in more than 15 months.
Carnival Vista was departing the Port of Galveston for a weeklong cruise to Mahogany Bay, Honduras; Cozumel, Mexico; and Belize City, Belize.
In order to board, Carnival Cruise passengers must be fully vaccinated for Covid, 14 days ahead of embarkation.
We aren't too fond of cruising, but we recognize the industry is HUGE for our economy, so we were happy to see them off. (and watch the fireboats)
Carnival Vista, Carnival Breeze and Carnival Dream operate 150 voyages annually from Galveston, carrying an estimated 750,000 passengers a year.
It's Been a Long Long Time
