It s Carnival s newest and largest ship, and the first one powered by liquefied natural gas.
The ship s arrival has become a bit of a phenomenon locally, as thousand of people may be converging on Port Canaveral to view the ship s arrival.
A Facebook group called Carnival Mardi Gras Welcoming Party recently was created, and now has about 1,600 members. Many of them plan to come to the port to view the ship s arrival, and some have rented hotel rooms Thursday night in Cape Canaveral, so their commute to the port is short early Friday. Others have rented the campgrounds facilities and pavilions at Jetty Park.
DAYTONA BEACH If Jim Chisholm s missile launcher pitching arm and talent for darting into an end zone with a football had taken him farther than high school championships and a college scholarship, he might have never found his way to Daytona Beach.
And if he hadn t grown bored working for financial companies in his late 20s, he might have never become a city manager who applied in 2004 to become Daytona Beach s next city manager.
If Chisholm had never sat behind the desk in the big City Hall corner office overlooking Ridgewood Avenue, the Daytona Beach Pier might have stayed under private ownership and deteriorated into an even more dangerous and crumbling eyesore than it was when the city purchased it.
