Cruises resume out of Galveston tomorrow
GALVESTON – It’s a big weekend on Galveston as the first Carnival Cruise Line ship prepares to set sail from the island since the pandemic brought cruises to a halt in March of 2020.
“We’ve had four previous cancellations. So, this actually goes up back to April 2020. So, we’re finally going 14 or 15 months later,” said cruiser Kelly Levy.
For Levy and her mom, who booked their trip several weeks ago, they couldn’t wait to hit the high seas again.
