Princess
Cruises, famously known as "The Love Boat," celebrated the highly
anticipated arrival of Caribbean Princess in Port Canaveral today,
marking the launch of a new season of Caribbean cruises from this
convenient Central Florida homeport. The ship set sail on a four-day
Thanksgiving cruise to Turks & Caicos.
In
the spirit of giving, Princess made a generous donation of non-perishable food
items to The Sharing Center of Central Brevard. Nearly two tons of food
will support local families in need.
"Today
we celebrate the arrival of Caribbean Princess to Port Canaveral, one
of the premier ports in cruising, and proudly support the local
community," said John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises.
"Port Canaveral offers fantastic facilities and is easily accessible for
our guests, whether they choose to drive, fly, or take advantage of our
exclusive Rail & Sail program with Brightline."
The
inaugural winter season from Port Canaveral features 19 additional cruise
departures to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, with voyages ranging from
six to eight days. Some of the exciting itineraries include:

"We're
beyond thrilled to welcome the beautiful Caribbean Princess to Port
Canaveral – a cruise line our guests have been requesting for a long
time," said Captain John Murray, Port Canaveral CEO. "Port
Canaveral is committed to offering our guests diverse cruise options, and Caribbean
