Two Carnival Ships Return to Galveston
This Sunday, Carnival Vista and Breeze will be returning to the port of Galveston, a welcome sight to the thousands of people in the city whose jobs are connected to the cruise industry.
Carnival intends for the vessels to stay there until cruising can resume from the U.S. again. In the meantime, the line will ready the ships for sailing and prepare to bring crew back.
Officials say that in Galveston, $115 million in local spending and over 3,600 jobs are tied to the cruise industry.

They say all travelers must be residents of the British Isles and cruise ships will be limited to 50 percent capacity or 1,000 passengers — whichever is lower.
Additionally, groups of more than six people or two households won’t be allowed to mix indoors, even if they booked in the same group.
If things go well in the first month, the regulations are expected to loosen on June 21.
