Port Canaveral Celebrates Busiest Week Ever
Port Canaveral celebrated its busiest cruise passenger week ever earlier this month.
Last week, the port welcomed 107,000 passengers — the most in its history since Canaveral got into the cruise industry in 1964.
That’s the third week so far this year where the port welcomed over 100,000 travelers — the other two being the first week of July and spring break in March.
The record-breaking week included the official inaugural cruise of Disney’s newest ship, Disney Wish.
