A Carnival cruise ship set sail for the first time in 16 months.
Over the last 486 days, the cruise line industry had to suspend operations because of the pandemic.
Many people said they are glad ships are returning to the port and business is opening back up.
“Oh, my goodness, excited is not the word we have waited on this for so long,” one passenger said.
On the eve of the Fourth of July, the Carnival Vista set sail from the Port of Galveston.
“This is going to be the first cruise back for Carnival Cruise line and we couldn’t be happier,” said Carnival President Christine Duffy.
