This will be the busiest weekend for cruises from Port Canaveral as the industry tries to get back to business. Cruises have been shut down for more than 17 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

"Over the next two to three weeks, you're going to see a lot of activity of active sailings out of Port Canaveral. And that's what's got us excited right now," said Canaveral Port Authority CEO Captain John Murray.
