Princess Cruises has launched a new season of Caribbean voyages from Port Canaveral with the arrival of the Caribbean Princess.
The ship’s inaugural sailing, a four-day Thanksgiving cruise to Turks & Caicos, also marked a moment of giving, as Princess donated nearly two tons of non-perishable food to The Sharing Center of Central Brevard to support local families.
