Caribbean Princess Arrives in Port Canaveral for First-Ever Season of Cruises
Port Canaveral, Florida
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.

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.
