After over a year away, the return of the ships offers a glimmer of hope for the travel industry, which has taken a huge hit during the pandemic. The two ships, Carnival Breeze and Carnival Vista, arrived at the port at around noon local time, and port officials had invited the public to come celebrate their return.
