For 16 months, not a single Carnival Cruise ship departed from the US.
That changed on July 3 when the Carnival Vista ship departed from Galveston, Texas, and made stops in Mahogany Bay, Honduras; Belize; and Cozumel, Mexico.
About 2,700 passengers were aboard the 15-deck ship. According to the company, 95% of its passengers and 98% of the crew were vaccinated.
I was one of those vaccinated passengers, and spent the next seven nights discovering the ways cruising has and hasn t changed for travelers in the name of journalism.
Admittedly, much of the experience felt the same, but there were still some changes. Here are the biggest differences passengers saw aboard the ship.

Plans have been submitted to Blackburn with Darwen Council for a new convenience store with 16 car parking spaces on the former Hollins Grove Liberal Club on Falcon Avenue in Darwen. If the two-storey building is approved it would mean the current Co-op which is 50 metres away on Blackburn Road would be turned into more units.

A report to planners said: “Staff facilities are poor, with little provision for disabled colleagues and inadequate storage areas.
